Kenmore Washer Repair – Canton, OH (110.28522700)

We serviced a Kenmore washer in Canton, OH where the agitator was not moving and there was a bad spot on the selector dial. Our diagnosis revealed failed agitator dogs and a defective timer that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the agitator is not moving and bad spot on selector dial. The washer would fill with water but the agitator remained stationary during the wash cycle, preventing proper cleaning action.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed two separate failures: the agitator dogs had worn out, which prevented the agitator from engaging and moving during the wash cycle. Additionally, the timer had developed a bad spot on the selector dial, affecting cycle operation and potentially causing erratic behavior.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WP8577356 timer and 80040 agitator dogs
• Work performed: Replaced the timer and agitator dogs
• Result: Agitator operates properly and timer functions correctly through all cycles
