During the spin cycle the washer started making a very loud bang on every spin revolution. I emptied the clothes, then tried the spin cycle again, with no laundry in it, still the same banging noise. What could be the problem? Thanks.
You might have a busted spider support arm in the tub. Turn the spin basket and you will hear it hitting the tub housing.
I turned the tub by hand and no knocking noise. Any other suggestions?
They are attached to the bottom of the tub with plastic pins.
Before you call a repairman, get some estimates. My best guess is $400 parts and at least $300 labor. Seems like the spider support busted plus probably bad bearings. Not worth fixing unless you can do it yourself.
A few years ago, on another machine, Sears charged $150-$180 for service plus one year on anything that might go wrong, on an old machine. The motor was burned up. Just a one time call would have been well over $220, but with the service contract they replaced the motor and the next year sevice contract on everything to do with the machine. At that time it did not matter the brand or model. I paid less by getting the repair with the one year maintainence contract. Had they not been able to fix it, they would give an allowance of the regular price of the old machine when it was new, towards a new Sears machine. Thanks for the advice. Can’t buy another one, single mom, very part-time job, full time college student, no child support coming in. Pam
The good old reliable washers are the Whirlpool direct drive, about $130 used depending on your area.

The washer completes the wash cycle, drains the wash water and refills with rinse water, then stops. It will not tumble the rinse water, nor drain it - nothing happens. At the point when everything stops, both red lights on the control panel flash. The pump works fine draining the wash water and I replaced the motor brushes. Ideas?
I have the same model, and it’s doing the same thing. Nothing is in the drain pump. How can I fix this?
Well, I have the same problem, my keymore washer do the cycle, drains and refill then stop, I have to turn the dial all the way to where stop and then finish the wash, anyone has an idea of what could be the problem?
