Overloading your Kenmore front load washing machine can cause increased wear on the Belt drive. Over time, the belt may wear out and break.
Not all.
In a top loading machine, remove the front panel. It's easier if the machine is tilted back a little. Under the bottom of the machine, there are two belts, the pump belt and the drive belt. The drive belt is the belt located underneath the pump belt. In a front loading machine, the back panel of the machine must be removed. The belt is located right behind the drum.

It could be the transmission or the belt. Many washing machines, while having different manufacturers, work on the same principle. For example, I owned a Kenmore machine for many years, and when I had the spin problem, I first checked the transmission. Perhaps the machine's transmission is kaput (broken), or maybe a belt is busted. Try looking at these two things first. Also, make sure that your washing machine is plugged in. You probably need a pump and motor kit
If the drive motor is working the most likely cause is a worn or broken belt.
