Kenmore Washer Repair – Alliance, OH (80 Series 110.26852504)

A Kenmore 80 Series washer at a home on West Beech Street in Alliance wasn’t spinning out clothes properly. The water was being pumped out but the drum wasn’t spinning out the clothes, leaving laundry soaked at the end of the cycle.

The Problem

The customer reported that the water was being pumped out but the drum was not spinning out the clothes. This meant the wash cycle would complete, but clothes came out much wetter than normal because the spin cycle wasn’t working properly.

Diagnosis

On this Kenmore 80 Series model, when the drum fails to spin but water still pumps out, the issue typically points to worn transmission components. The clutch assembly engages the spin basket, while the agitator dogs control the agitator’s directional movement during different cycle phases.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 285785 clutch, 80040 agitator dog assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the clutch and agitator dog assembly on the washer
• Result: Drum now spins properly during the spin cycle

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore 80 Series washers are reliable workhorses that often justify repair costs. The clutch and agitator components are common wear items on these models, and replacing them typically extends the washer’s life significantly. Given the solid construction of this series, this repair makes good financial sense.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Don’t overload the tub — Kenmore 80 Series models perform best with properly sized loads that allow clothes to move freely
• Use the correct amount of detergent to prevent excess suds that can strain the clutch system
• Check and clean the lint filter regularly to maintain proper water flow and reduce strain on mechanical components
