The Kenmore Washer 110.27132410 is a top-loading washing machine featuring multiple wash cycles, water temperature selections, load size sensing, and a durable stainless steel tub. This service manual provides detailed information for technicians on safety procedures, technical specifications, disassembly/assembly instructions, component testing, error code diagnostics, and maintenance procedures for this specific model.
Before servicing, disconnect power at the circuit breaker or unplug the washer. Allow time for capacitors to discharge. Use proper tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).
| Hazard | Precaution |
|---|---|
| Electrical Shock | Verify power is disconnected before accessing internal components. Use a multimeter to confirm no voltage. |
| Moving Parts | Do not operate washer with panels removed. Ensure tub is stationary before handling. |
| Sharp Edges | Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling internal metal parts or wiring harnesses. |
| Hot Surfaces | Allow motor and other components to cool before servicing after a hot water cycle. |
| Chemical Exposure | Handle detergents and cleaning agents with care; ensure area is well-ventilated. |
Proper installation is critical for performance and safety.
WARNING! Failure to level the washer can cause excessive vibration, noise, and component failure.
Key components and their locations for service access.

Schematic for the 110.27132410 electrical system. Refer to diagram part number W10837178 for full details.
Main Components in Circuit:
L1, L2 (Line Voltage 120V)
S1 (Lid Switch - Normally Open)
TM (Timer Motor)
M (Drive Motor - Split Phase)
SV (Water Solenoid Valves - Hot & Cold)
P (Drain Pump)
Testing Continuity: Use a multimeter set to Ohms (Ω). Disconnect power. Test components like the lid switch (should be open when lid is up, closed when down) and water valves (typical resistance 500-1500 Ω).
Systematic approach to diagnose common failures.
| Symptom | Test Procedure | Likely Faulty Component |
|---|---|---|
| Washer does not start/power | Check power at outlet. Test lid switch for continuity when closed. | Power cord, lid switch, timer |
| No water fill | Listen for hum at inlet valves. Test for 120V at valve terminals during fill cycle. Check screens for clog. | Water inlet valve, timer contacts, water pressure |
| Will not drain/spin | Check for voltage at drain pump. Listen for pump hum. Manually check pump impeller for obstruction. | Drain pump, lid switch, timer, drain hose clog |
| Excessive noise/vibration | Check for loose shipping bolts (rear). Verify washer is level. Inspect drive pulley, motor mounts, and suspension rods. | Unlevel installation, worn snubber ring, loose/damaged components |
| Agitator does not move | Remove agitator and check for stripped splines. Check motor operation and clutch engagement. | Stripped agitator, worn drive block, failed clutch |
This model uses a series of flashing lights or specific cycle interruptions to indicate faults.
Note: Always clear error conditions and perform a diagnostic test cycle after repairs.
