I had posted here a problem I was having with my Kenmore washer(model
82370820). After running through the suggestions I finally got it fixed. It was bunching and more or less knotting the clothes around the agitator causing the load to become unbalanced. The agitate plunger on the wigwag was bent. Replaced it and now it works. But I have another question. I wanted to check the solenoids on the wigwag so I pulled it off the machine and checked each one across the terminals for continuity. No continuity on either solenoid, so I thought that each solenoid was bad. Got a wigwag kit, got it home and checked it for continuity--no continuity, but I figured I was chiecking it wrong and put it on anyway along with replacing both plungers and everthing works just fine. How does one check a solenoid to see if it is bad? What is the easiest way to cut those hardened pins holding the plunger(yoke) to the cam bar?Richard
