Kenmore 110.24942300 Washing Machine Motor Starts Then Stops
My Kenmore 110.24942300 washing machine's motor starts, and agitates (or spins, depending on selected cycle) runs a short while then stops. After resting, will restart. Has tripped the circuit breaker once. Could the motor be overheating and tripping a thermal switch? Is it possible that the centrifugal (starting) switch is not cutting power to the start winding? Thanks!
I will try and help with this problem about Kenmore 110.24942300 Washing Machine,
Hi Ken, thanks for your question. I don't have much experience with American-made machines, as I've mostly worked on a few Whirlpool models years ago. These motors usually have a thermal switch that goes open circuit if the motor gets too hot.
From your description, it sounds like the machine starts, runs for a couple of minutes, and then cuts out. This could be due to the thermal switch or a sensor disconnecting after some time. Without seeing the motor or washing machine myself, it's hard to pinpoint the issue.
You could try using a multimeter while the machine is running to check if power is being cut to the motor or if the motor is cutting out under load. If it's cutting out under load, it might be an overheating problem. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful without seeing the schematics or the machine itself, especially from 5,000 miles away.
