Our Kenmore 70 series washer will fill with water, but will not agitate or spin. The motor is making a clicking sound. We have no idea on the age of the washer as it was here when we bought our house 5 years ago. Repair or buy a new washer? (model # 110-20702990).
Fix it. Very easy fix and the part is not expensive. What you have is a direct drive motor. For ease of maintenance the machine is made in a way which makes it possible to service it in place without having to move it. You flip the controls up and pop the retaining clips in back, unplug the lid switch harness and tip the case towards you an out of the way. You can now access the pump, motor, and that pesky drive coupling. These do simply wear out but they usually will go if a comforter is washed in it or low water big load scenario.
