Hello. You've got an intermittent problem. In order to troubleshoot this, you will have to read the last stored error code--there are very many codes. In order to read the code, with the washer off, push the start/pause and cancel buttons simultaneously. As long as you hold the buttons, the last stored code will be displayed. The door lock, wash ,rinse, and final spin lights will flash. You will have to either give the error code on this site or look it up--use the model number and error code on a search engine. This problem is hard to diagnose when not onsite--yes, I'm a tech. My gut is telling me the problem is with the motor control board located inside the unit at the bottom on the left side if you face the unit from the rear. But it could also be with the main board--the error code(s) will tell the tale. Things to initially check: (1) drain pump--it won't spin if it can't drain properly. (2) door switch, if it's loose or worn, it might be breaking contact and causing cycle stoppage. (3) does the basket spin very freely with nothing in it?(If a small article of clothing has gotten in-between the basket and tub it can cause a bind). Also, if there is a roaring sound like a train or a jet aircraft taking off during the spin cycle, that is indicative of a bearing failure--a VERY major, costly repair. If you are unsure or hesitant about troubleshooting, definitely call for service--I have worked on a lot of these washers--not that they're bad at all, just complex. I hope I helped you!

GE washer won't spin

Sounds like it needs a new motor. Electric motors can develop bad spots on their coils. What happens is they begin to work intermittently or only when hit. This is the same problem with a cars starter motor. Probably a pretty easy fix, just unplug the power to the washer for safety and pull it out and get a part number off the motor assembly then order up a new motor. If you have a multimeter and are comfortable working around live AC voltage to can see if power is being sent to the motor at the power connector.

Washer Spin Cycle doesn't work - sometimes

Hello T Wright - Based on the symptoms you are describing, it sounds like more than likely the unit is sensing an out of balance load, which could be too light or to heavy of a load, and the unit will not advance to high speed spin. However, often when a unit does not spin, it is because the unit cannot properly drain and dispose of the water and detergent solution. Does the unit make a humming noise? If so, the drainage hose/pump may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. If not, the washer may possibly be experiencing an issue with the door lock assembly, faulty pump, timer or control board not communicating correctly. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly diagnose and repair the unit.

Wet Clothes and some sandy crud left at spin cycle end

Make sure you plugged the wires back in that you unplugged to take the case off. The plug located under the panel. This is you lid switch and if it's unplugged it will not spin clothes out. If it is plugged in, you might want to go back and take the pump off. Once you have, check inside the drain tube that connects from the pump to the tub. Make sure there is nothing inside it. Sometimes lint will build up inside it, clogging it.

Whirlpool Washing Machine Quitting during rinse cycle

I would say that based on your problem description that the lid /door switch has a loose or faulty contact .. If you open and close it a few times..it starts to spin and yet when you open it.. it doesn't always stop the spinning.. It is either the switch or the actuator that bumps that switch.. That is where I would begin diagnosing the problem... Hope that helps..

Spins when it feels like it

Popcorn, sounds like you are having trouble with the lid switch. The plastic housing in which the screws hold the switch to the cabinet may have cracked, or came loose. If the lid switch is not making correct contact the result is no spin, no drain. The switch actuator on the lid itself may need adjustment. The lid switch is mounted to the cabinet on the back right side under the consol. The lid switch part number is 8054980. But check the actuator first. Catriver..post back.
