Washing machine makes a grinding noise in all cycles and agitator does not move in any cycles. All of the symptons were sudden. What is wrong and how can I fix it? Is this a repair I can do myself? If so, where can I purchase the part and what would be the approximate cost?

Kenmore 90 Series Super Capacity Plus. Model #110.28922791.

I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

Was it the motor coupling? Because mine seems to be doing the samething...

Hello,

Sounds like you could have a bad motor coupling. Check page 41 and on the topic that says how to take the top off for instruction for removing the cabinet. This is not terribly difficult to fix and cost about 15 dollars for the part. However, you have tear the cabinet open and check it out. You can look for black shavings on the floor near the motor. The couping takes the place of a belt these days.
