Hi guys.
have a 2000 or 2001 Kenmore 80 series washer. I suspect has a worn clutch, spin tube, ?? not sure yet, but I digress! The new problem I notice is that it occasionally dose a spin rinse, instead of the neutral drain it's supposed to do? My question, is this a timer issue? I ask because the timer is fairly new? | ||

That would be a failed neutral pak in your transmission. The timer does not decide whether or not it neutral drains, it just controls the direction of the motor when it it calling for agitation or drain/spin. | ||

 The machine will actually work OK doing a spin-drain. There's a slight increased risk of off-balance spin if clothes floating in the water bunch-up together before enough water is drained for the items to "stick" to the basket wall. This is more likely to occur if the water level is too high for a given load (more float-space), but it's not all that big of a deal either way. | ||

Here are the economics of it:
Rebuilt transmission - about $100-$120 New transmission - $200-ish Neutral Drain assembly - about $25-$30 You have to drop the transmission and remove the cover to change the neutral drain pak. If you have the space and the know-how it's not a difficult job, just a little bit fussy. Most field guys keep a spare rebuilt transmission with them and just drop out the bad one and then put in the good one. Then on some quiet day back at the shop they'll open up a bunch of bad transmissions and repair them all at once. | ||

Thanks guys
for the info.
Lid switch has already been by passed, timer replaced, and before this, it had, or still has a clutch issue, or wore spin tube,ect because it was (on occasion) slow, or no spin, unless I helped it a little ( for some reason have'nt seen it do that lately) So ...Think I'll ride it out til I have to do something. | ||
