Kenmore Series 80 Washer

I just noticed that the clothes were covered with soap after the rinse and spin cycles "supposedly" had completed. The lid switch is missing! A wire end is accessible, but the switch is no to be seen. How do I get inside to find it and reinstall it? SShould this correect the incomp;lete cycles?
Thank you.

Maytag DWU9962AAE Dishwasher leaking

Our Maytag DWU9962AAE dishwasher is leaking and I've tried replacing the gasket but it's still happening. I've read tons of things on it might be a split spray arm, the soap valve, the motor, but I honestly don't know much about dishwashers. Any thoughts on what it could be?Read More

Amana Washer ALW895SAW Motor Hums

digerdo2 on Jan 18, 2013

I replaced the belt, idler pully wheel with its appropriate washers and retaining clip. Checked out the motor pully and it looks good. Looked at the water pump and it also looks good. So this was suppose to take care of the original problem of no agitation. So after the new parts I put the motor back in hooked it all up, put some water in the tub and started the washer. It (motor) hums. Tried the wash/spin speed switch (fast, reg slow, gentle fast, gentle slow) and the motor tone did not change just a hum. When I put on the timer extra spin it spins just fine, but no agitation. My neighbor unhooked the belt and moved everything counterclockwise and it is fine. Moved it clockwise and it is fine. So nothing seems to be binding. The service manual (RS3100007) says to test "motor start switch and start windings". How am I to do this and what kind of readings should I get. The service manual doesn't tell me this information, and the schematic/diagram of the motor switch doesn't match what is actually on the motor. Is it possible to buy just the motor switch (p/n 35632 or 35652) and not the whole motor assembly. If any one knows this would be great. So I don't know what to do next if I can't get a motor switch. Thanks for any help you can give me. Glenda:(Read More
