    Default Gas Washing Machine

    Model Number: 110.26752500
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: 6-10 years

    I have a gas washing machine that is not spinning well (model #110.26752500). The clothes are still very wet when the cycle is completed. It happens on all wash cycles. I noticed that the left rear corner of the cover has to be pressed down to catch. Help!!! I am being overloaded with wet laundry. THANK YOU!!

    There is no such thing as a Gas washing machine, why on earth do you believe its gas? Is there a gas line going to it? Or gas line going to your dryer?

    Can you explain this further:

    I don't understand what you mean by that.
