SOURCE: does not spin

The close pin most likely broke the switch. Unplug the washer, remove the screws that hold the top and flip it back and remove the cabinet. with the cabinet off it is easy to replace the lid switch. Cost should be $20. to $30.
God Bless and Happy New Year.

SOURCE: drum off balance

It's either a bad suspension spring or you have a crack in the tub support.

SOURCE: washer sounds like off balance during spin

old duets have nut on rear pulley that becomes loose. remove rear panel and tighten nut. check while spinning by hand if pop is felt. if it rotates smoothly then you may need new shocks on tub

My whirlpool duet washer hammers very loud when it spins. The outside of the machine doesn't seem to vibrate much but it is very loud.

That is a common occurrence with dryers such as this one. Even though it sounds bad, it is harmless. If it really bothers, you can re-balance the load and it should reduce the vibration.

Why does my washer gets off balance during the spin cycle and how to repair it

A QUICK FIX IS TO OPEN THE DOOR TO STOP WASHER, THEN RE-DISTRIBUTE THE LOAD SO IT BALANCES OUT IN THE SPIN CYCLE. OR, REMOVE SOME OF THE CLOTHES, IT COULD HAVE TO MANY IN IT.

My Maytag washer keeps stopping during its cycle and if I lift the lit it will restart but once it starts spinning it stops. Its weird cuz somedays i can run 3 or 4 loads with out a problem and other...

On older Maytag washers the lid switch doubled as the off balance switch. If the tub wobbled too much it would trip the lid switch and this will not reset until you open the door. The idea is that when you open the door you will adjust the load so that it is not off balance anymore. I don't know if you have one of the models I am referring to or not but if so this is your problem.

Very noisy when on spin. The machine seem to be balanced however the noise on spn is like a jet taking off. it gets louder as the spinning speed increases.

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

Spin cycle

it sounds like there is either an obstruction in the pump, or the load is getting off balance during the spin cycle. two things to try, fill the washer with no cloths in it, when it starts to agitate, stop the cycle and put it in drain/spin cycle. the water should be out in under a minute. its hard to see because the door locks, but you can hear a difference in the pump when its out, or after 60 seconds, press cancel and open the lid to check. if the waters out in that time, the pumps ok. then run it through the spin diagnostic with a load of cloths. make sure the cloths are wet, and a normal load you wash. this will check to see if the load is getting off balance, and shutting down during the spin cycle. let me know if you still have the problem. good luck, shane
