Kenmore Washer Repair – Massillon, OH (110.42182201)

A Kenmore washer in Massillon was leaving clothes still wet at the end of the cycle. Our diagnostic revealed the bearings slash transmission are failing, making this a costly repair on an older unit.

The Problem

The customer reported that clothes are still wet at the end of the cycle. This symptom typically indicates the washer isn’t completing its spin cycle properly, leaving excess water in the clothing.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the bearings slash transmission are failing. This is a significant mechanical failure that affects the washer’s ability to properly agitate and spin, explaining why clothes were coming out wet.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation completed
• Result: Due to the cost and availability of the parts as well as the age of the machine, it would be advisable to replace the entire unit

Is It Worth Repairing?

For older Kenmore washers with transmission failure, replacement is usually the smarter financial choice. Transmission repairs are expensive and labor-intensive, often costing more than the washer’s remaining value. A new unit will provide years of reliable service with modern efficiency features.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Keep loads balanced to reduce strain on the transmission and bearings
• Use the correct amount of detergent to prevent excess suds that can stress mechanical components
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly to prevent buildup that can cause the machine to work harder
