View Full Version : Kenmore Washer Spins/Rinses but Will Not Fill or Cycle

(Series 70) The washer worked fine until I had to replace the coupler between the motor and transmission. When I put everything back together and plugged it in it tripped the breaker. I had not properly replaced the wiring harness at the rear/top of the cabinet. After taking care of that, I plugged it in, turned it to a spin cycle, and was pleased to see that I had fixed the initial problem. I turned it to the beginning of a wash cycle and nothing happened. Water didn't fill. I blew into the pressure valve and could hear it clicking. The hose seems fine. Water does run during the rinse cycle (which times out properly) but will not fill on any other setting. Furthermore, when I turn the control knob, the washer will enter spin mode whenever the knob gets to spin mode even though the knob is pushed IN. I'm assuming the timer was somehow damaged during the earlier repair, but I'm hoping there is another possibility. That's where you come in!

Sounds like the timer to me... :(
