Kenmore Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.2002012)

A Kenmore washer in North Canton wasn’t agitating during the wash cycle, leaving clothes poorly cleaned. The customer reported it does not wash well and does not seem to agitate during wash cycle. Our diagnosis revealed a failed shift actuator that controls the washer’s agitation mechanism.

The Problem

The customer contacted us because their washer does not wash well. They noticed it does not seem to agitate during wash cycle, which meant clothes weren’t getting properly cleaned despite going through the full wash program.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the shift actuator had failed. This component controls the transmission’s shift between agitate and spin modes. When it fails, the washer cannot properly agitate clothes during the wash cycle, resulting in poor cleaning performance.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10006355 — shift actuator
• Work performed: Replaced shift actuator
• Result: Washer now agitates properly during wash cycles

Is It Worth Repairing?

For a Kenmore 110 series washer, replacing the shift actuator is typically worthwhile. These are reliable machines that can last many more years with proper maintenance. The shift actuator is a wear component that fails over time, but once replaced, the washer should provide years of additional service.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Use the correct amount of detergent — excess suds can strain the shift actuator
• Distribute loads evenly to prevent excessive vibration during agitation
• Don’t overload the washer, which can stress transmission components
