How do I get into the motor of my Kenmore 110 washing machine? It will not spin, or agitate. It drains well. The model is #32427830 and serial #cx223724.
You probably don't need to get into the motor. It is probably your agitater dawgs. These are little rubber comma shaped grippers that make the agitater move. They are located under the center cap on the middle cylinder piece that moves the clothes. They are rather small and have grooves on them that catch and turn. They may have worn grooves on them. They only cost about $15 at an appliance parts store, and come in a pack of the total amount of them you need. I can't remember exactly how many of them there are, seems like it's about 6 or 8. There is a screw that you have to take out to get to the section of the cylinder they are in, and we had to use a long screwdriver to get it out.
Here is a site I found with some repair info that might be of help. Click on it (or cut and paste), then scroll down to "Common Failure & Repair Solutions". Then click on "won't spin". http://repair2000.com/wash.html Good luck!
PS: I did a google search for sears washing machines + repair
