Washer will no longer spin. Any ideas as to what the problem might be. It is a Estate, HD, 8 cycle, 4 speed.

- Yes sir, I believe it still agitates, but when the dial goes to the spin cycle, it does not spin. The motor does run, even sounds like it is spinning. I opened the lid, which shuts it off, then push in the lid switch to bypass it so I can look - no spin action taking place! The washer is about 6 years old, but it is just used for my wife & I, so hasn't had a lot of excessive use as the kids are long gone! I thank you for your thoughts.
Hi, I have to ask a couple of questions to pin point this for you. Does the washer agitate?
When the washer is in the spin cycle, Does the motor run at all? The most common problem with the spin cycle is either the lid switch or the coupler. This is why I am asking the questions.
Please let me know so I can assist you.

- Ok, We are narrowing it down. If the washer washes/agitates but doesn't spin, the basket drive assembly must be bad. While holding the lid switch down, try turning the tub with your hand and see if it will start to turn.
Please make syre it agitates too. If neither agitation or spin work, it could be a coupler. We hope it is the coupler.
Please let me know.

My washing machine works fine til it gets to the spin cycle, then it starts to make a buzzing noise and water won't spin out. though we did get it to finally spin the water out once but it kept buzzing the entire time
