Maytag Washer LAT9356AAE won't spin.

If the washer doesn't operate or make any noise when set on any cycle, or if it stops suddenly when it should continue onto the next cycle, it may not be receiving electrical power or, if the motor stopped mid-cycle, the machine's overload protector may have tripped. In this case, take out some of the articles to reduce the load and let the protector reset itself, then restart. Otherwise:

1) Be sure it is plugged in and turned on. If necessary, check the receptacle it's plugged into for power, using a working lamp, appliance, or voltage tester. Be sure the washer lid is closed completely.

2) If the receptacle seems dead, check the circuit breaker or fuse that serves that circuit.
3) Unplug the washer and check the power cord. If necessary, replace the cord.

4) Open the lid and check the lid switch and the tab on the lid that it pushes against. Press and release the switch: if it doesn't click when you do this, it's probably broken. If you're experienced at home repair, you can remove the switch, test it, and replace it if needed; otherwise, call an appliance repair service person.

5) If the washer still doesn't work, the controls may be faulty. Call a service person.

Good Luck

If this is a machine that is controlled by the belt, maybe the water pump has something lodged in it not allowing all the pulleys to turn. remove the belt underneath the machine and check the freedom of the pulleys.

Hello - I am have the same problem with my washing machine. It does not spin and there is a burning smell. I read another website and they mentioned that it could be many things quite comlicated, like the coupler could be broken, or the tranny could have gone bust, or the motor. Just get of your machine and get a new one!
