Kenmore Washer Repair – Canton, OH (110.21102013)

We recently completed a washer repair on Woodlawn Avenue NW in Canton, OH. The customer’s brother reported that the Kenmore washer makes a noise, bounces and sometimes shuts off during the cycle, with multiple people confirming it wasn’t due to an unbalanced load. Our diagnosis revealed failed transmission and suspension components.

The Problem

According to the customer’s brother, the washer makes a noise, bounces and sometimes shuts off during the cycle. His neighbor and his house manager both say it is not due to an unbalanced load.

Diagnosis

The combination of noise, bouncing, and mid-cycle shutoffs pointed to mechanical failure in the washer’s drive system and suspension. When the transmission starts failing, it creates noise and can cause the control board to shut down the cycle for protection. Failed suspension rods allow excessive movement during the spin cycle, causing the bouncing behavior.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11454741 — Gearcase (transmission), W10780048 — Suspension rods
• Work performed: Replaced the transmission and suspension rods
• Result: Machine successfully passed auto test without generating any errors

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series washer is a reliable direct-drive model that’s worth repairing when major components fail. Transmission and suspension repairs typically provide years of additional service life. These machines are built to last and parts remain readily available, making this repair a smart investment compared to replacement costs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Keep loads balanced and avoid overloading to reduce stress on the transmission and suspension system
• Check and clean the drain pump filter monthly to prevent drainage issues that can cause cycle interruptions
• Run a cleaning cycle with washer cleaner every 30 loads to prevent buildup that can affect performance
