Washer does not wash or spin

When the washer goes into spin or cycle you hear a low hum and then it sounds like a breaker opening up and panel lights go out.

    my washer will not drain/spin. the drum does turn, but the pump blade
    will not rotate and washer just times out and shuts off. I let it sit
    for a week - power off (but still plugged in) and the pump was burning
    hot to the touch. Checked with volt meter, pump is getting proper
    voltage, but will not rotate. Standpipe is good, filter cleaned out.
    Dismantled as much of pump as possible and inspected for blockage
    inside the pump - but it's clean. Washer is 2 years old. Should I just
    replace the pump or get repairman out to check electrical?

    Thank you for your help!

Humming could mean a stalled motor. These machines also have a coupling between motor and gearbox which can fail. However, the pump is attached to the motor, so if it's not pumping it probably means the motor isn't spinning. Check motor and/or gearbox.....Nomess

Will not spin
The humming sound is most likely the pump running. Try this: Open the front panel by using a putty knife to push in the clips (2) at the seam where the front panel meets the washers top. With the washer in the spin cycle (you hear just the humming) pull the little hose off the left side of the outer tub, near the bottom. The washer will most likely begin to spin immedeately. If it does, this would indicate that the hose and the nipple it connects to need to be cleaned out. Gunk builds up there some times and then the air cannot escape back out, so the washer thinks it is still full of water, and thus will not spin. After cleaning those out, replace the hose with the tub empty of water. If the washer did not spin after pulling the hose, check the lid switch.

My washer/dryer doesnt spin after going through the wash cycle, during the supposed spin cycle you could hear a humming sound and when it stops there is water in the drum and you can open the door. Is this...
If you can hear a rumbling sound from the drum, then I would say that the main drum bearings have failed.
This is a major repair job, and not one I would recommmend you undertake yourself. as it involves a complete strip down of washer, and the cost is cosiderable.
Probably better to purchase a new washer.
Good luck.

Washing machine will not enter spin cycle. When turned to spin there is a humming noise but no movement. Checked drain lines and they are not plugged.
the washer goes in one direction for wash and the other way for spin.sound's like you have a bad motor.

Whirlpool ultimate care II will not spin
You said,washer is full of water and will not spin. You hear the lid switch clicking. When you start it on spin cycle and hear a hum, the tub moves a couple of inches and then stops...shortly after it shuts off.


Some reasons this may happen
Washer won’t drain or spinn
1. Is the drain hose clogged, or the end of the drain hose
more than 72 inches (183 cm) above the floor?
2. Is the lid open? ............Also the lid switch can be faulty!!
The lid must be closed during operation.
3. Is there excessive sudsing?
Always measure detergent. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
4 If you have very soft water, you might need to use less
detergent.

Sounds to me like the lid switch can be faulty!!Then it acts like the lid is open.

Wash goes silent at the rinse and spin cycle
if the wash water isn't draining you have a bad lid switch back out the two screws at the bottom of the control panel in the back pull the control panel forward tilt it back on its hinges on the body of the washer you will see a connector with three wires grey green purple make sure the knob is in disconnect the connector and put a jumper wire from gray to purple where it goes to the control panel pull out the knob and see what happens

Whirlpool LGR7648KQ1 top loader washer
Hi It appears that- You have a clogged water pump inlet filter. Normally located at the bottom of the machine there should be a 1"-2" disk that you need to rotate half turn to release. Be aware that a large quantity of water is likely to drain when you open it. Good luck
