I don't know about the Kenmore 70 specifically, but mine used to get stuck and I had to reach in the back and move those two levers that let the washer shift from one mode to another. They are fairly large and slide horizontally.
If they are stuck you may have to push or pull fairly hard.My Kenmore 70 series washer seems to be stuck in wash mode.... it wont rinse, drain, or spin. Help!?
It could be your dial switch, or it could be your washer's transmission, which switches it from one setting to another, to be sure you need to get someone to check it out. Don't try to switch the settings manually you could really make matters worse, you should call a washer repairman, if it's still under warranty it won't cost to get it fixed.
More than likely your lid switch is broken. It is the most common problem. There is a safety feature built in that will not allow the unit to go into the rinse/spin without the lid being shut. If the lid switch is broken the unit does not know the lid is shut. go to www.searspartsdirect.com look up the lid switch part number and call round to your local appliance parts store. Should not cost more than about 40 bucks. Easy Easy fix.
I'm a little confused. What happens if you simply start the wash cycle? Does it seem to work normally but just not advance to rinse, spin, etc. If so, it could simply be a clogged drain hose or filter at the end of it.
If the tub doesn't empty completely after the wash cycle before it ';times out'; it may not allow the rinse cycle to begin, etc.
The other answers sound very good but, I look for the simple things first.
Alle the previous ideas are good when you figure out whats wrong and or need a part i suggest www.appliancepartssolutions.com
