I have a 70 Series Heavy Duty Kenmore Washer (Model #: 110.92274100). No matter what load selection I put the switch in, it only agitates in the Heavy Duty mode. So Normal wash = Heavy Duty agitate, Perm Press = Heavy Duty agitate, etc ... Any ideas? Do motors have a transmission gear for gentle, normal, and heavy duty agitating?
Yours is a 2 speed motor. Does it spin in 2 different speeds. If so, then it most likely is designed with only to agitate in 1 speed. If it only spins in one speed, then your motor is defective
SOURCE: No agitation in the delicate and regular modes.
does you washer have a delicate, or normal speed adjustment switch, if it does make sure its not between setting or it will sound like a machine gun......you may need to replace that switch
SOURCE: Kenmore 90 Series only agitates on heavy-duty cycle
It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.
For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...
FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.
PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.
If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.
If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

• blueextc3221, thank you, are you saying the timer/main controller/CCU reference means timer in my case, due to my washer only has a timer and a switch, per the schematic? • Duane Grant, thank you, I checked, it was not between settings. But your confident it is in the switch selector mechanism?
