Washer will fill and pump but will not spin

Go to parts-select. I repaired my machine myself this way!

your drain pump is no good it will not go to next cycle

you missed off a motor wire or pulled off a plug from the programer?

sounds to me like you have a bad transmission
what happens when you take the agetator off
does it still make the noise or does it go away?
if it goes away when you take the agetator off then you have a bad agetator

See if this post http://www.fixya.com/support/t4626959-lid_locked_not_open will help you open the machine.

Any indication of power to the machine? What is your model number?

take the belt off and let me know if you still smell burning
next with the belt off turn each pulley under the washer there are 3
the big one in the middle...in one direction makes the unit agetate in the other releases the break and the basket turns.. does this happen?
next the pulley to the right is your pump how is that does it sound strange when you turn it?
next spin your motor pulley does it spin freely?
let me know what you find

I have a whirpool model:lsq9200lq3, and recently it has stopped working. when ever you turn it on, its fine and the water fills up normally and right before it gets to the spinning cycle the machine makes a grinding noise like if something is stopping the motor from spinning, and it dosent spin inside the washer. if anybody has any suggestion It would be great thank you.

COULD BE PUMP MOTOR OR COULD BE A BLOCKED FLUFF TRAP OR PIPE

no that is a shipping pin when they pulled the strap those pins fall into those little cups instead of onto the floor. so it does not spin. does it agetate? if the answer is yes you probaly have a good drive coupler. Possible suspects would be a bad transmission if it is stuck in nuetral drain, clutch if you can push start the basket in spin cycle you have a bad clutch, bad drive block you need to take the agetator off and check to see if the drive block is not raised from the basket drive basket drive has 2 ears that fit into the drive block.

So while you are holding the agetator is it ripping your hands? or is the agetator just sitting there? If the agetator is just sitting there you probably have bad agetator dogs. I would remove the fabric softner or cap whichever you have. under the cap you will see grooves in the agetator down low. When you manually turn the agetator you should see 4 tear drops that grab the grooves if you do not see this you have bad dogs. Very simple. This usually is the cause for the grinding noise that you are hearing. Please let me know if this works for you //eg
