Hi,

I have a Kenmore Washer Series 80 model #110.23832100. I just dropped the Transmission/Motor Assembly to change the plastic coupler which had broken. I had watched several tutorial videos prior to attempting the repair. In each of these videos they showed the removal of only one wiring harness to the motor before you could pull the motor from the Washer. The problem I have encountered is that upon reassembly I suddenly have a single white wire which appears to be separate from the harness. I think it's a neutral wire which is obviously critical to powering the motor. Trouble is....I can't see where it goes!!!??? I don't believe that it is a wire that popped out of the harness. I counted wires in the harness and terminals in the block and they match at 9. So I think this wire came off without me even seeing it. Hopefully someone can clue me in. Because I'm stumped. I'm normally pretty decent at doping this stuff out, but this one has me scratching my head. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. The Timer seems to not be working at all now and it did prior to my working on the unit.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Eric! That's great. Glad someone knows where it goes. LOL

Couple of questions if I may:

1.) I see the terminal for the Thermal Overload Switch is on the motor housing itself. Do you know if this is something I can see and get to (on my model Washer) without tearing it completely apart again? I looked and wasn't sure what/where I was looking for.

2.) With this wire disconnected, I'm guessing it renders the Timer inoperable? In essence the wire being unplugged makes the Timer Control "see" that there's an overload condition existing? Is this correct? And by reconnecting it to the Overload Switch the Timer will again begin to function?

3.) The pic shows what looks like 2 of these. It's likely that I only have one?

Sorry for all the questions. I like to educate myself before I dig back in though. Very much appreciated!!!
