The moter to spin the drum does not turn on. The

Sure sounds like your timer has bit the dust. I'm not sure if the timer is still available. You have a great washer there. Good luck.

Randall, the high speed spin failure can be caused by a number of issues. I would suggest starting the machine without any clothes in it. Once it has filled, make sure the door lock light is on and that the door is, in fact, locked. If the light is not on, or if the door is not actually locked, either the door lock assembly or the control panel is at fault.

If the light is on and the door is locked, stop the wash cycle and start a drain and spin cycle to see if all of the water is pumped out of the drum. All water should be pumped out within 10-15 seconds. If excess water is in the drum, the high speed spin will not start.

put it on the spin cycle and open the filter if it's the belt you will surely hear the motor spinning if not then it's not the belt

Hi Mandy,

The fact that the light bulb is out *and* the drum continues to spin when the door is opened - all point to a faulty door switch.

This switch tells the machine the "status" of the door position. When the door is open, it turns on the light *and* stops / prevents the drum from starting. When closed, the light is shut off *and* the drum is permitted to spin. You should have the switch serviced as if a wire came loose it adds a potential shock hazard - in addition to the safety issue of placing hands into a spinning drum.

You likely have a broken or slipped drive belt or broken spring on the belt take up arm on the drum. Appliance Parts.com has a lot of DIY instructions on how to get at the belt and make repairs.

there are two potential problems. firstis te belt to the drum drive pully from th moter. this is the easiest. take off the back panel an seeif the belt is intact. if so run through a cycle and see if the motor spins or triesto spin. if not this is most likely thesuspect. one plug three screws and about100 dollarsfixes te motor. hope this helps.

you will nead someone to help you to know if you have a bad moter.first you nead to open the door,with your right hand you nead to push in on the door switch and hold it in.next you nead to have someone puah in on the start switch,at the sam time ,you nead to take your left hand and turn the inner drum clockwise, if it starts than you have a bad moter.

you will nead a nother person to help you see if you have a bad moter.first you nead to open the door and with one hand you nead to push in and holddoor switch, now have someone push in on the start switch and at the same time you nead to take your other hand and turn the dryer drum clockwise,if dryer start's than you have a bad moter.

replace the moter control and moter comes in a kit also highly recomend you replace the machine control at the same time because a bad moter control has and will burn up the new machine control the second you power it up

pull machine out and make sure u remover the plug completley it is still live with the plug in and switched off throught the netural feed

at the back take off the botom white pannel made of plastic look in side pull the belt off the moter

there should be 2 10mm bolts remove these and tap the moter and it should slide out
remove the earth wire and the moter harness plug and pull the moter out it will go you might have to turn it this way and that once out there is two screws holding each brush remove and put in the new breushes replace the moter

to put the belt on there is two screws on the lid one each side behind a oval blanking cover these are hex head screws

once off put the belt on the moter pully first then on the drum pully and gide it on by hand turn the drum and the belt will spring on open the door and spin the drum by hand to make sure the belt is on correctley replace lid and back turn on power an try if this does not work the moter has gone try ebay i did for my hotpoint cheaper than trade on there
