As you use your Kenmore washing machine, you may experience problems with various stages of the wash cycle. Regardless of which model you have in your home, you can troubleshoot a Kenmore washer that will not spin in the same way.

It can be a simple problem that is causing the washing machine to not complete the spin cycle, which means you may be able to avoid calling out a repair person.

Here are some troubleshooting tips:

Look to confirm that you have not lost power to the washer by checking the breaker box or fuse box. Reset any tripped breakers or replace a blown fuse.

Adjust the load of laundry in the washer if there was a loud noise before the washer stops. This means that the washer is not balanced. Redistributing the laundry in the washer tub will balance it so that it can spin. Close the washer lid completely to resume the wash cycle as the washer will not operate with the lid open.

Disconnect the washer from an extension cord, if you are using one. A washer cannot complete all of the wash cycle if it is plugged into an extension cord. Instead, connect the washer directly into the wall outlet. If you cannot do this for some reason, Kenmore recommends using a heavy-duty extension cord and taking care so that no water enters the plug.
