Michael,

yes, the Model 110 is the same as the series 80 I detailed in the repair.

good luck.

Brian Gill -

THANKS Brian Gill…

How hard is it to remove and replace the clutch?

MICHAEL LANGFORD - Responder

Brian…this did not fix my problem. I’m afraid its a transmission and that is to much money to do a repair on a 29 year old washer. Thanks for you good instructions and photos though.

Thank you Brian for authoring this guide. All I can say is “ I did it!!!” The ratcheting dogs cost me $7.00 , It took a bit of travel to pick them up, a visit to the neighbor to borrow the socket wrench. 7/16 was the exact size socket. I had a Kenmore 110 model ( although the Name of the washer says Kenmore 60 : why do they make life complicated??) I just needed to lift the top part of the agitator. With much gratitude and satisfaction, Louis
