Kenmore Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (110.29422800)

A customer in North Canton called about their Kenmore washer tripping the breaker, mostly on spin cycle. When we arrived at the Lorrell Avenue Southwest location, we found the timer was causing the electrical issue and replaced it to restore normal operation.

The Problem

The washer was tripping the breaker during operation. The problem occurred mostly on spin cycle, which indicated an electrical component was drawing too much current during that phase of the wash.

Diagnosis

We tested the electrical components and traced the issue to the timer. The timer controls the various cycles and when it fails, it can cause excessive current draw that trips the circuit breaker as a safety measure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10199989 — timer
• Work performed: Replaced the timer
• Result: Issue is resolved and operation is normal

Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore washers from this era are generally reliable machines worth repairing when they have single-component failures like this timer issue. A timer replacement is a straightforward repair that can extend the washer’s life significantly, especially if the tub, motor, and transmission are still in good condition.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Clean the lint filter regularly to prevent buildup that can strain electrical components
• Use the correct amount of detergent to avoid excess suds that can cause the motor to work harder
• Balance loads properly to reduce vibration and wear on the timer and other mechanical parts
