No agitation or spin? try these:
Motor Coupling If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor coupling might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is overloaded in order to protect both the motor and
Drive Belt If the washer won't spin or agitate, check the drive belt. If the belt is broken or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the washer won't spin or agitate properly.
Drive Motor If the washer won't spin or agitate the drive motor might be defective. This is not common. Check all of the other related parts to this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is visibly burned out or physically damaged, replace it.
Stator Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the stator assembly might be burned out. The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed.
Transmission or clutch assembly not engaging due to going out or slipping.
Door or Lid Latch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the lid switch assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly If the washer won't spin or agitate the door lock assembly should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The switches should have continuity according to their design.
Motor Control Board If the washer won't spin or agitate the motor control board might be defective. The motor control board provides power to the motor as well as direction and force. If the motor control board is defective the washer may not work at all or function properly.
CHECK THE CAM DOGS INSIDE THE AGITATOR, AS THEY WILL HINDER THE AGITATION PROCESS.
SOURCE: will not agitate or spin,makes loud noise during those cycles
Sounds like coupling gears between transmission and motor... they did away with the belt and went direct drive with coupling gears. It can pump water out but nothing else. water pump is mounted to front of motor is why it will pump water out.
SOURCE: Washer doesn't agitate
sounds like your washer went mellow on you(doesn't get agitated, right)?
ok. enough humor.
sounds like there's a problem with the motor/belt/control board in that order
SOURCE: Washer fills, drains, & final spin
I had the same problem and ended up replacing the control board which solved it. Contact Westland Sales at 800-356-0766 ext. 5 for tech support.
SOURCE: Basin will not fill with water during rinse cycle but will agitate and spin.
most new washers have cold water only rinse and spray rinse ck cold water coming into machine during wash if no cold comes in suspect cold side of fill vale not opening ..could be wiring issue or a bad valve
SOURCE: ROPER 4 CYCLE 2 SPEED DOES NOT AGITATE OR SPIN
Disconnect power should be a motor coupling broken you take off the cabinet, two phillips head screws left console bottom on back and right console bottom left on back and pull toward you and rollback the console two funny looking brass colored springs insert screwdriver into spring and push back toward back of washer and it will jump out. disconnect the lid swithch and lean cabinet out and looking down inside at front bottom slide out 2 inches to remove cabinet. then two black clips that hold pump on and then two screws and same except larger clips that hold motor on remove wiring harness and lift motor out and youwill see coupling either broken there or on transmission replace with part number 285852A from 1-877-262-1479 to put back on use hammer and 3/8 or 7/16 socket and extension and hit litely untillyou push metal center onto motor shaft then repeat for transmission side put rubber coupling on transmission side and line up motor and doall in reverse to put back together. tip on cabinet clips set in place and push down with heel of hand to snap into place
