Kenmore 29162 Top-Load Washer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Washer not spinning or spinning slowly
- Thumping or banging while the agitator moves
- Cycle stopping with the lid unlatched
- Water not reaching the level you selected
The Kenmore 29162 is a top-load washer with 4.4 cu ft of capacity and a Triple Action agitator wash system, offered in white. It has multiple water-level and cycle settings and needs hot and cold hookups, a drain and a level floor.
The brand name on the lid does not tell us who assembled this washer. Its data plate prefix does, and our parts and tests follow it. Model and serial are copied from the plate before we order.
On a top-load washer with an agitator, we check the lid switch first, then the drive: the belt or coupling, the motor and the transmission. Thumping during agitation sends us to the suspension and the load balance. If the fill is off, we test the water valves and the level control. The price is written before work starts. We warrant our workmanship for 30 days.

Error codes this model can show
Why does my washer stop with the lid closed?
The lid switch may not register the lid, or the control may think the lid is open. We test the switch and its wiring, and check that the lid and striker line up when closed.
What makes an agitator washer thump?
An unbalanced load, worn suspension or a loose drive part can thump. We check the tub's movement, the leveling and the drive, then explain whether it is an adjustment or a part.
Why would a washer spin slowly?
A worn belt or coupling, a weak motor or a drain that does not empty can slow the spin. We test the drive and the pump so we replace the part that is actually limiting speed.
