** Kenmore washer mod 11.22712100 **

That model number is incorrect. It likely should be 110.22712100

** the timer does not advance on its own at all. **

If the timer *never* advances on its own, it is likely defective and needs to be replaced.

Basically, if the timer's motor was getting power the timer should be advancing. Power there but no movement = defective timer.

I'm having a similar problem. I have a Kenmore 70 series, mod 110.20702991 and today it stopped draining. I.e. it went through the wash cycle and then the timer just stopped and it didn't drain, rinse, or spin.

I heard the issue might be the lid switch, so I unplugged the dishwasher, opened the top panel, unplugged the switch, and closed the circuit from where the grey wires were with another wire. Once I plugged it back in, it rinsed when I set it to rinse, but after rinse the timer stopped again and it won't drain.

Which brings me to the following questions:
1. Is the lid switch the problem?
2. If so, is there a way to drain the washer before I replace the lid switch?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

**it went through the wash cycle and then the timer just stopped and it didn't drain, rinse, or spin. I heard the issue might be the lid switch**

That is common...

A bad lid switch will stop the spin and drain after the wash and rince.

**is there a way to drain the washer before I replace the lid switch?**

Lay the drain hose down. Water bed pump. Bail.

My Kenmore 70 series washer (model no. #110.20722990) will not drain or spin. The timer will go all the way to the end of the cycle. I then have to go back and put it on spin and pull. Then it works. So I wonder if it's the timer. I don't think it's the lid switch because when the lid is down it works. Any advice would be great.

TIP: a washer that doesn't drain after agitate but goes into spin and then drains while spinning is the timer missing the "just drain" short cycle. If a slight tap or few on the timer when it is supposed to only drain makes it engage, that is a good confirmation a new timer will fix this problem. From experience, and simple fix to replace the timer - it's not a contact problem. Apparently, the plastic cog for that small section of the timer cycle is small and gets worn down to where it doesn't make the contact engage.

my kenmore series 70 washer when i put the lid down the washer would start and when i raised the lid it would stop. I sometimes would drop the lid and it would start working now when the water fills it just starts working if the lid is up or down how do i fix it
