Is it humming like a stuck motor or rattling, like a loose fan. If it's rattling, the fan could eith be loose on the motor or, the center hub could have broken loose.

  • David Shaub Aug 10, 2009

    Check the breakers and look for a reset. It sounds like the motor is only getting 1/2 the voltage it needs. If that isn't the problem, you need a new motor. Get the information from the motor tag and find one online for price comparisons. Some dealers will nail you with triple parts cost, just because it's hot.

Washer won't go into spin cycle, stops after final rinse. When I try drain &rinse it still will not spin.

If the unit does not spin correctly, this is usually an indication that the unit can also not drain. The unit will not spin if it senses a blockage or issue with the drain lines and/or pump. Try to check the drain lines in the back of the unit for any issue, and then see if you have an access panel to get to the coin trap or drain pump itself. Often socks and debris will clog up in this area and cause your problems.

My outside unit fan doesn't spin. i hear a clicking noise and a humming but the fan won't spin. i've tried to spin the fan and it spins freely by hand.

You may need a new start capacitor or fan motor.I would have the capacitor checked by a electrician and changed if needed. Good luck and thank you.
