Washer motor won't start on my Kenmore Series 70

Faithful Kenmore Series 70 direct drive washing machine, 22 years old.

Oh I need some encouragement. My washer died mid cycle last week when full of water when it should have started a spin and drain cycle. It was running fine prior, no odd sounds or issues. The motor (I assumed, not up top) was humming pretty loudly and when I got to the washer to inspect I smelled an electrical hot/burning smell. Immediately shut the washer down and unplugged it. Only maybe a minute passed between the...

Maytag Centennial leaking

My maytag centennial is leaking into the drum. If it sits, after a few days I have 3" of water and have to run the spin cycle to pump it out. I have to shut off the water supply valve to keep it from leaking. The washer functions well otherwise. I presume it's an internal valve that's worn, what part do I need?

Tool/technique needed to balance washer

Hi all,

Thursday we had a new washer delivered and installed (I didn’t do the install and wasn’t able to observe it).

GFW650S*N***

I tried a medium sized load that afternoon, using all the normal/middle-of-the-road settings. During the spin cycle the washer went crazy. Nearly danced itself out of the nook it is in. I paused the machine, redistributed the clothes, started it up, same issue.

Looked at the manual and installation directions. Got out the level and it seems like that’s the...

Washing Machine Fill Hose

My stainless Fluidmaster fill hoses on my washer are 6yrs old and should be changed. What is a good brand now days to get? I used the 9WM48 length. I didn't use the high efficiency ones and not sure if they are really needed for my top loader? 48" length is fine with straight ends as I don't need the 90deg's. thanks for the advice as there are numerous out there.

WTW5100HCO F7E7, F7E6, F7E1

Intermittently one or more of these codes will pop up during a wash cycle. Wash does not stop, it progresses on and finishes. I've cleared fault history, sometimes 5 wash cycles no codes. Then 6th wash I'll check fault history after wash is completed and F7E7, F7E6 and F7E1 will pop up. Are these machines famous for broken wires anywhere?
I have factory service manual, just hoping appliance techs might see a pattern of broken wire

Speed Queen washer, code 5, all ligjts flashing

Model AWN43RSN115TW01
All lights flash a 5 code at the end of cycle. Usually can make it operate another load if I reset breaker. Sometimes it will stop right before rinse and lock up with the 5 code. When this happens resetting the breaker might take 2 or 3 attempts before it will rinse and spin out. Twice the lid has remained locked even with power off so I did replace door lock latch. Ran 2 normal cycles after replacement, but then back to locking out at the end of cycle. After...
