My Controls appear to work normally, but drum doesn’t rotate. On initial Diagnostic test, when I press power btn, I get the Code 08, I’ve tested the Thermal Fuse, it’s OK.
I’m suspicious of Broken Belt switch, as it doesn’t click when I depress lever.
If the Code 08 doesn’t mean anything, I plan to continue with motor control test.
Thanks, Bill

It does sound like you may be on the right track with the broken belt switch. That particular Kenmore was produced by Whirlpool. Under that manufacture an “8E” Error indicates a failure in the motor relay circuit which would include that belt switch. As a rule of thumb you should be able to hear that switch “Click” while being engaged. You should be able to a simple continuity test across the switch too. Good luck on the repair!
