The washer that came with my condo new, is showing its age, but money is tight. A new combo washer dryer is $2,000. Can’t afford it.

When it starts each agitation cycle, it clicks on and off rapidly for 5 seconds, then it’s fine. It is getting worse. I’ve seen that this can be motor or the close door sensor, but my close door sensor hasn’t functioned since I bought the condo 5 years ago.

Recommendations are greatly appreciated! The dryer also squeaks terribly when it starts, until it gets warmed up. These two things together make me worried I should just replace it… which I can’t afford to do.
 
Unfortunately, this is a Canadian Kenmore, and we have no tech data info on it here in the USA.

Maybe another Canadian tech or member that's had this happen to them can assist you, if not, its best to have a local tech come out.
