Kenmore 80 heavy duty Not spinning

[BAJADAVE]

Hello, I know theres a bunch of not spinning threads but I think I saw a small black belt that looked like it spun because there was a lot of black dust in the middle of the  on the washer on the floor.
I looked under it and it looked more like a pulley then a direct drive coupling. The belt is short because I saw a wear mark on it and I didn't take long to do a once around. Maybe 4-5 inches? Water fills okay and also drain well too, Just humming.
Thanks guys

We can take a look at your problem a little better with the model number. It usually starts with 110. and goes from there. Check under the lid.

Your coupling is put together thusly:

[BAJADAVE]

yes, That's the correct coupling ,no belt, Actually, I was looking a the black spider (rubber) center peice.
okay, changed out the coupling and get everything back together. Plugged in the cord and still got humming. How do you take the agitator off tyo check if something is jamming it. I turned the coupling after I installed it and it turn in obe direction very smoothly. Part # 11027802690

Okay I fiqured that out. Nothing keeping jamming the agitator.................... Matbe I have a frozen bearing? I think I'm just going to buy a new washer. The coupling cost me 32.00 and I have spent about 3 hours screwing with puppy and I still can't get it to work. Unless!!!! some comes up with a different idea.

Yes the Video with the humming noise. Heck, I took apart my washer I just hate doing it again. what do you think?

[tidebatt1]

I ended up replacing the following parts,
Neutral drain kit, it's in the tranny, but don't let that scare you, the coupler just for the heck of it while I had it open, and the start capacitor. I use it as an extra machine for shop rags etc. Total cost of parts $40 appx. my wife bought a new Whirlpool Duet so she didn't have to wait on the parts. Now we have 2 washers.

[BAJADAVE]

Yeah, I guess I could start all over again or ..............................Just buy a new one for 399.
My wife said that hates not having here washer and she wants one by thursday.............I guess I'm going shopping. Thanks guys, You got me to try at least and I did change out the coupling and put everything back, even the dumb shell cover, what a pain that was.

[BAJADAVE]

It's working!!!!!!!!!!!! All I had to do was turn the water valve on and then it started to agitate and spin!!! I guess it need some kind of water pressure to start the cycle..............I'm sooooooo happy, I can now spend that 400 plus bucks on myself!

Yeah Dave the water as it fills in the tub pushes against a tube that goes up to the water level switch. When the correct amount of water is in the machine it shuts down the water valve and kicks in the motor, I am glad yo was able to Git er done!:D

[BAJADAVE]

Thank you! There's no better feeling then knowing you tried something new and were successful. My wife has a twinkle in her eye when she looks at me!!!
