The machine make a loud clanging grinding noise, and it will not spin or agitate. What could it be. It is 10 years old and this is the first problem I have had with it.
You most likely have a broken coupler between the motor and gearcase.
You can buy the part for about $10 or have someone come out and replace it for about $150-200.
If you will post the complete model number from the the washer so I can see which style cabinet you have, I will try to walk you through the repair. It isn't very complicated if you are handy with home repairs.
With the age of the machine it probably just needs a coupler, but it could also have a problem in the transmission or basket drive that has caused the failure.
Here are the steps for the most common of the 70 series washers.
Remove the two screws that hold the console to the cabinet and flip the console back.
Remove the two clips that hold the cabinet to the rear panel of the washer and unplug the lid switch harness. The cabinet will tilt forward and slide off.
Remove the clips holding the water pump and move it to the side.
Unplug the wires from the motor and remove the clips holding it.
You will see the motor coupler.
Make sure you can turn the gearcase shaft with a pair of pliers so it is not locked up.
The screws that hold the console are under the trim pieces at the front edges of the console. They pop off.

I have a Kenmore washer model 110.20702990
I will go thru wash cycles but then stops and will not restart. I can move the timer but it still will not start other than agitate. Is there a simple fix for it?
Kenmore 70 Series Heavy Duty Plus Style Master 902202 Rev F Washing machine
failed to drain water; it's running & spinning in the Prewash Mode and keeps running
thru the washing cycle till it stops at the OFF stage.It does not stop at the end of
the Prewash stage now.Water is not draining.
I have a Kenmore 70 Series washing machine. Wife says it smelt like something was burning yesterday when she had it running and she shut it off. Towels were still wet when I arrived on the scene, so I assume it didn't spin prior to her shutting it off.

My washer does not spin or drain please help me
If your Kenmore 70 series is making a grinding noise, filling and draining but not spinning or agitating, its usually as simple as a belt. If you pull it out, remove the back panel and see the belt just sitting there, that will be your confirmation. Sears, Home Depot, Osh, or Lowe's should have the part...
I start my washer and it keeps running it wont go through the cycle change unless I force it to. If I turn it on and off and on and off again it will start. What could be the problem?

Kenmore washing machine will not spin. I assume it is over 10 years old - came with home I purchased three years ago. Do I need to purchase new one or can a repair person repair it and is it worth it to repair????
When turning the inner spin cylinder clockwise, there is a loud sound in the same spot, each time the basket turns. Also, you can see the inner basked slightly drop at the same spot during the sound.
I went through the bolts and they seemed pretty tight, it seems as if the problem is inside one of the casings. What is the issue?
I have the same problem, can you provide us contact number & let me know what are the charges if someone can personally attend this & how do I contact them
My washing machine has a broken coupler or transmission, I think. The electric motor is working because the pump work. There is a noise but the agitator doesn't work. Is there a way to fix this without calling a professional?
