Introduction

This guide will show you how to replace a worn or broken clutch on the Kenmore Model 110 washing machine. If the device timer shows the cycle has completed but never drained the water or you find that the agitator is not spinning, it could mean the clutch is bad and needs to be replaced.

Nice tutorial! Thank you!

My Kenmore washer is as same as this one, but now the agitator works, but it does not spin. So far I reached step 14, did not find anything wrong, which parts could be the problem? Clutch? Thanks
