I have a problem with a Kenmore washer, model 110.22952100. It begins a cycle by filling, and filling, and filling. It never begins the agitation cycle, but does drain when spinning; it doesn't appear to drain by pumping alone, only with the spinning.
I've tested the fill switch; it passed the continuity test and a new one didn't stop the overfilling.
I then tested the mixing/water valve. The resistance test showed infinity on the prongs, so I figured the solenoids were bad. A new switch also didn't stop the filling.
I then disconnected the pressure switch hose at the switch and blew into it and could hear bubbles in the tub; upon visual inspection, it doesn't appear to be kinked.
Next, I began the fill cycle and used a different hose to blow into the fill switch to see if that had any affect. It did; blowing into to the switch stopped the filling and began the agitating cycle.
I'm now at a loss of what to do next. Any suggestions?
