Understanding the Problem
Model number 110.49962603 looks like a Kenmore/Whirlpool-series top-load washer. These machines commonly develop the same set of symptoms after years of use: failure to drain or spin, loud or grinding noises, leaking, or failure to fill/finish cycles. Symptoms usually point to a handful of replaceable components (lid switch, drain pump, motor coupling/drive, inlet valve) or to routine service items (hoses and suspension). Because parts and exact diagnostics vary by production run, start with a visual check and a basic electrical test. Inspect hoses and clamps for obstructions or damage, remove and check the pump for debris, and listen during a spin cycle to isolate where noise or slipping comes from. If the washer shows error codes or can be put into diagnostic/service mode, that will greatly narrow down the faulty component before buying parts.
Common Symptoms
Won't drain or spin, fills but doesn't agitate, loud grinding or thumping during spin, intermittent or no power to controls, water leaks under the machine.
Common Causes
- Failed or clogged drain pump (trapped coins, lint or foreign objects)
- Faulty lid switch or door lock preventing the motor from starting
- Worn motor coupling/drive components, belts, or transmission issues

Helpful Repair Tip

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I run diagnostics or read error codes on this washer?
Entry to diagnostic/service mode and error-code behavior varies across Kenmore/Whirlpool production runs. The fastest reliable method is to locate and read the washer's tech sheet (usually taped to the back of the cabinet or inside the control console). The tech sheet lists the procedure to enter diagnostics and the meaning of codes. If you can't find the sheet, look for a sequence of buttons to press on the console or consult the service manual for your exact model number. Running diagnostics will typically exercise the water valves, drain pump, motor and display error codes that point to the failed subsystem.
Can I replace these parts myself or should I call a technician?
Many common repairs (drain pump replacement, lid switch, inlet valve, agitator dogs, motor coupling) are DIY-friendly if you have basic tools, mechanical aptitude and follow safety steps: unplug the washer, shut off water, take photos during disassembly, and keep fasteners organized. Use a multimeter to confirm electrical faults before buying parts. However, if the fault is with the transmission, motor, or involves complex wiring or water damage, or if you’re uncomfortable working on appliances, call a certified technician — those repairs are more difficult and sometimes require special tools or lifting assistance.
