My washer won't SPIN!
Although all brands are different in design, the basic concept is the same. When a machine won't spin, there are several things to consider:
-
Is the belt broken? Loose?
-
Does the lid switch click when closing?
(see video below) -
Does the spin solenoid engage?
(1984 and before) -
Drive coupling worn out? (on some newer Whirlpool & Kenmore top loaders)
-
Clutch worn out?
-
Current to motor? (Use voltmeter to check)
