That isn't a complete model number. I found three models at Sears Parts Direct that started with110.2234* . Click on the Models tab at https://www.searspartsdirect.com/search?q=110.2234 . The three machines use the same parts. The parts diagram for the Kenmore 110.22342511 top load washer here: https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/3219xhjolw-000582/kenmore-11022342511-washer-parts . The upper agitator is given a different number on the basket diagram for some of the models. However, the current replacement is part W10836692. This is back-ordered at Sears Parts Direct. It's listed as in stock at https://www.maytagreplacementparts.com/PartDetail/Upper-Agitator/W10836692/4363274 and https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-agitator-w10836692-ap5988691.html . Kenmore manuals almost never list the full model number. They make one for several models in a line or multiple lines. In this case, the manual covers two series: 110.2234xxxx and 110.2244xxxx washers. 110 means that the machines were made by Whirlpool with the Kenmore nameplate. Manuals Lib has a copy of this manual here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1327493/Kenmore-110-2234-Series.html . In the future, you can usually find the model number in one of several places on the washer. Check for the label on the back of the control panel, on the back in the upper left corner. or inside the washer on the frame under the lid for a top-load machine. There are a few other spots where the label could be but those are the most common. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

I remember the machine being featured on a tv game show causing much merriment when demonstrated by Bruce Forsyth with the aid of a contestant. I believe the machine was intended to "punish" fat cells, loosening them and making it easier for them to disappear with the aid of diet and exercise. The belt should be well within the capability of any competent handyman to fabricate from a variety of materials; nylon webbing such as seatbelts are made from, Balata belting (rubber and canvas) or thick leather... I think the jury is still out about the possible beneficial effects on circulation of wobble machines, massagers and whole body vibrations. There is reckoned to be some advantage to electrical muscle stimulation for lower leg circulation but I think a large pinch of salt should be taken with most claims. Appropriate diet and appropriate exercise is the key to many ailments, with medical supervision also if appropriate - a brisk walk to the greengrocers for fruit and vegetables to sustain you for cycling or swimming will probably do more for a person's circulation than any (dubious) machine...

use a ruler

you didn't say how old it is, - but likely the cost effective solution (if it is more than 5 years old) is : buy a new washer.

If it spins all other loads out properly, then the pillow is the problem

Contact sears customer service with your warranty info to resolve this issue. If unit is no longer under warranty then that is a different story. Check youir manual for warranty details.

Try www.searspartsdirect.com, they have diagrams as well as manuals and parts. There is also a wiring diagram in the cabinet of the washer or in the top panel control area.

Some machines used a variable speed slow down process to avoid clothing damage, this removes the items from the outside of the drum where if the clothing was left for a length of time after the cycle has finished it could damage the fibres, this way the clothing is also easier to remove from the machine and promotes airflow over the items

F2 mean that you have a drainage problem and could be that the pump is clogged. I believe the pump can be accessed from the front of the washer. Also make sure electrical connections are secure. Make sure no hoses are clogged or kinked anywhere.

your pump may be clogged or there is a clog between the tub and ejection hoses.

Or the washer is one piece and it lifts entirely as a shell off the base.

Or your water level switch need replacing based on your information.

Look on the side with the burners for a connector with two wires coming out and going to control unit.

Might be the hose from tub to pump or pump to outside. Check each by raising the unit and do a spin cycle.

have a second person help u do this test....one holds the door button in and turns the drum in the direction it goes while the second person hits the start button...if u can manually turn drum and it takes off and goes,its prolly a bad motor,start windings are not engaging or the motor switch is stuck....only other cause would be the timer/control board,that needs a vom to ck for power for the start...good luck!!!
