Kenmore Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.27082603)

A Kenmore washer in North Canton was throwing an oL code at the end of wash cycles and would not complete the final rinse. The machine had been sitting unused for several months, which led to corrosion on a critical component that prevented proper operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their Kenmore washer was throwing an oL code at the end of wash cycle and would not do final rinse. The machine would start and run through most of the cycle but fail to complete properly.

Diagnosis

The washer had sat for several months and the shaft on the drum was corroded. This prevented the washer tub from sliding up and down and engaging in the spin cycle. The extended period of non-use allowed moisture and environmental factors to cause corrosion buildup on the transmission shaft.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Cleaned the transmission shaft
• Result: The washing machine is spinning and washing properly

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Kenmore 110 series washer is a reliable direct-drive model that can run for decades with proper maintenance. Since this repair required no parts and only cleaning of corroded components, it was definitely worth fixing. These machines are built to last and respond well to proper servicing when issues arise.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Run a cleaning cycle monthly if the washer sits unused for extended periods to prevent moisture buildup
• Leave the lid open after use to allow air circulation and prevent corrosion in humid conditions
• Wipe down the transmission area during regular cleaning to remove moisture that can cause shaft corrosion
