Kenmore Washer Repair – Salem, OH (110.22332510)

A Kenmore washer at 318 Woodland Ave in Salem, OH was stopping at the rinse cycle. The customer suspected it was probably the circuit board, but our diagnosis revealed the actual culprit was a failed shift actuator.

The Problem

The washer would stop at the rinse cycle and wouldn’t complete the wash program. This left clothes sitting in soapy water, requiring the homeowner to manually advance or restart the cycle.

Diagnosis

While the customer thought it might be the circuit board, our testing showed the shift actuator had failed. This component controls the washer’s ability to shift between different cycle phases, which explained why it was getting stuck at rinse.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10913953 — shift actuator
• Work performed: Replaced the shift actuator
• Result: Issue is resolved and washer completes all cycles properly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110-series washer is a solid, long-running model that’s worth repairing when the fix involves a single component like the shift actuator. These washers are known for their durability and parts availability, making them good candidates for repair rather than replacement.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Clean the lid switch area regularly to prevent lint buildup that can interfere with cycle detection
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly with washer cleaner to prevent residue buildup in the tub and internal components
