How to reset a Kenmore 1102011200A washer?
Resetting the Kenmore 1102011200A washer is usually a simple power reset: unplug the washer (or switch off the breaker) for about 1 minute, then restore power and try a cycle again. If the washer is coin-operated, the meter case timer clutch can also prevent a “start” until it’s set correctly; use the 1102011200A owner's manual for the exact access and adjustment steps.
Quick reset steps (most common)
- Press OFF/STOP (or turn the timer to OFF) to end the current cycle.
- Unplug the washer for 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in.
- Set the timer to a normal wash cycle and pull/push the start control (as your model uses).
- Run a short test with the tub empty to confirm agitation, drain, and spin.
If it still will not start (coin-operated checks)
This model’s manual notes the washer may start operating before the coin slide is used due to factory testing, and the timer clutch position can affect starting. If the washer will not start after the coin slide is operated, the timer clutch adjustment is the next place to check.
- Disconnect power before opening any panels.
- Remove the meter case access panel.
- Locate the timer clutch adjustment screw.
- If the washer does not start after the coin slide is pushed fully in and out, turn the clutch adjustment screw clockwise (right).
- Reinstall panels before restoring power.
What “reset” fixes vs. what it does not
| Symptom | A reset often helps | Likely needs troubleshooting/parts |
|---|---|---|
| Stuck mid-cycle or unresponsive controls | Yes | Sometimes |
| Will not fill or fills slowly | Sometimes | Often (water supply or inlet valve) |
| Will not drain | Sometimes | Often (pump or drain restriction) |
| Will not agitate/spin | Sometimes | Often (drive components) |
Why it matters
A proper reset clears a stalled cycle and restores normal operation without replacing parts. If the washer still will not start, checking the timer clutch and basic functions (fill, drain, spin) helps pinpoint whether the issue is control-related or a mechanical problem.

What is the capacity of the Kenmore washer 1102011200A?
The exact wash basket capacity for Kenmore washer model 1102011200A is listed in the product specifications for your unit; the most reliable source is the 1102011200A owner's manual. If you do not see capacity stated, use the loading guidance below to match your washer’s tub size and avoid overfilling.
Where to find the official capacity
Check these spots in order; they are the most dependable for this model:
- The specifications section of the 1102011200A owner's manual
- The model and serial tag (commonly located under the lid on this style of Kenmore top-load washer)
- Any original purchase paperwork or commercial laundry documentation (if coin-operated)
Practical loading guide (works even if you do not know cu. ft.)
Use these fill levels to prevent poor cleaning, out-of-balance spinning, and drain issues:
- Small load: tub about 1/3 full
- Medium load: tub about 1/2 full
- Large load: tub about 3/4 full (items loose, not packed)
- Keep bulky items (towels, jeans) mixed and evenly distributed
| Load size | Target tub fill | What you should see |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 1/3 | Clothes move freely during agitation |
| Medium | 1/2 | No tight “rope” of laundry around the agitator |
| Large | 3/4 | Top layer stays below the tub rim and circulates |
Why it matters
Capacity is about usable tub volume; loading to the right level protects wash performance and reduces strain on the drive and drain system.
If overloading leads to symptoms (no spin, weak agitation, slow drain), common wear items on this Kenmore platform include:
- Coupling 285753A (motor runs but washer will not agitate or spin)
- Washer drain pump WP3363394 (slow or no draining)
- Clutch 285785 (basket struggles to reach full spin speed)

What size is the Kenmore 1102011200A washer?
The Kenmore 1102011200A washer is a full-size, top-load washer; the exact cabinet dimensions and any listed tub capacity are provided in the 1102011200A owner's manual. Use those specs to confirm fit in your laundry space and to plan proper drain and water hookups.
What “size” usually means
When customers ask for washer size, we typically confirm:
- Cabinet dimensions (width, height, depth)
- Capacity (tub volume, often shown in cubic feet)
- Clearances (space for hoses, lid opening, airflow, vibration)
- Utility requirements (standpipe height, water pressure)
Installation specs that affect real-world fit
Even when the cabinet fits, installation requirements can determine whether the washer runs correctly. For model 1102011200A, the manual calls out these key drain and supply specs:
- Standpipe height: 39 to 96 in. from the bottom of the washer
- Standpipe inside diameter: 2 in. minimum
- Drain carry-away capacity: 17 gal/min minimum
- Hot water supply temperature: 120°F (49°C)
- Water pressure: 10 to 190 psi (with 20 to 196 psi noted for best performance)
Quick checklist before you measure your space
- Measure the opening width and depth at the narrowest point
- Allow room behind the washer for fill hoses and the drain hose
- Confirm your standpipe meets the height and diameter requirements
- Verify water pressure is within the recommended range
| What you need | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Exact cabinet dimensions | 1102011200A owner's manual | Confirms the washer fits the space you have |
| Drain setup requirements | Manual installation section | Prevents siphoning, slow draining, and overflow |
| Water supply requirements | Manual installation section | Helps avoid fill problems and long cycle times |
Why it matters
A washer can physically fit but still perform poorly if the standpipe height, drain capacity, or water pressure is out of spec; those issues commonly lead to draining problems, leaks, or excessive movement during spin.
