I'm confused as to why you aren't having the Kenmore repaired. An 8 year old machine is certainly worth having repaired.
If everything else is working but it's not spinning it is more than likely that the spin clutch is worn or has failed in some other way. The entire clutch assembly is a $50 part and the individual components that often fail (usually worn pads OR a broken/weak spring) are even less expensive. It is also definitely a possibility that something in the transmission has failed that is not allowing it to spin. While that is a more expensive repair (new ones retail for around $200, rebuilt can be had for less) it is still worth it to spend the money. The Whirlpool/Kenmore direct drive machine is very rugged and is a relatively simple machine to repair. In 20 years these machines are going to be collectable classics! |
