I have a Whirlpool top load washer that i am trying to trouble shoot. The washer is going through the washing cycle fine...but when the spinning cycle comes, it some time spins and some time it does not. Note that i can hear the motor spinning....it is the tub that does not spin. I lifted the washer to see if the coupler is bad...but the couple is in healthy condition.....the switch seem to be making the click sound as well....but this intermittent problem of tub not spinning is little confusing...again..the motor underneath does spin when the spin cycle is running....only the tub does not....
any clues and tips are greatly appreciated.....thx a million in advance...
Hi there, seems to be an issue in the gear case or(transmission box). i may be defective. Here is the part number. 3360630 i would replace this. it will start to spin the tub after this replacement.
If the motor is running and the tub is not spinning you must remove the motor and inspect the drive coupling.
One of the 2 plastic pieces could be stripped or cracked.
If the drive coupling is intact, proceed to the clutch on top of the transmission.
Replace the clutch linings.

Whirlpool Ultimate Care II In the wash cycle my clothes stay still. You can hear the motor working but there is no swooshing and clothes getting cleaning. They just sit in the water.
