I just had this problem (3 days ago) with my Kenmore 90 series washer. Suspect that they are about the same. Could be one of 2 problems:
- Water fill valve : Does tub filling stop when you unplug washer or pull out washer knob ? If so, fill valve is not the problem. If filling continues, I'd suspect the fill valve.
- Water level control : Device behind the water level knob on the front panel. For my problem, it turns out that a friction-fit hose had disconnected from the water level control device, so device would always think that tub is empty, keep filling the tub, and never start wash/rinse agitation.
I was able to reattach the hose...using a small stainless steel hose clamp to make sure that this hose never slips off again. I had a pretty bad flood, but luckily caught in before my house floated down the street.
