I have a Kenmore direct drive washing machine model #110.28922790 bought
around 88-89.

When the washer is agitating there is a steady loud clicking noise coming
from the front of the motor. I can also see a spark behind the plate of the
drive motor switch that sparks in unison with the loud click. All the other
cycles are working fine.

I'm guessing the switch is going bad but wanted to verify with someone else.

What do you think?

Thanks,

David
