Sears will come out and fix that! I had a use Kenmore washer and it did that to me, and I called Sears and they fixed it. I no longer have the washer, but it lasted me 5 years considering it was used, I only payed $100.00 for it.

Check your lid shut off switch. Check your connections. My Maytag was doing this, but dumping and skipping cycles. I ordered a new timer (online was about 50% less) and in 10 minutes installed it.
A simple older Kenmore does not have too many things to go wrong. Neither does a dryer, until you buy electronically controlled. Then the repairs go from OUR hands to someone else's for $.
You have the wigwag in a Kenmore that Maytag does not have. Up till this washer, I had Kenmores for decades! Always took parts off one when junking it to keep for the next one. Neighbors did the same, we would trade for what we needed. Universal parts!

This happened to me. This is what the repairman told me. There is a little plastic point sticking out on the underside of the lid. When you shut the lid it goes into a hole on the washer. The piece the point goes into broke. They used to be made of metal, now made of plastic. Lid could have fallen down and broken it or just from wear and tear. Hope this helps.

If you cannot fix it yourself, call someone to repair the problem.
