Washer will not spin but makes noise and smells funny
Does the washer agitate while in wash cycle? Does it move at all? It may be that the motor that drives the spin and wash cycle is not working. If it smells funny, it usually means that you have bearings gone bad or a belt, if it is belt drive, broken. You can replace these parts. All the parts involved with spinning can be replaced. The parts are available from the maker. It may be a spin clutch, agitator gear, pulley, or a transfer case..

You have a broke motor coupling broken between the motor and transmission the part is not expencive but a little hard to explain how to put it in.
SOURCE: Spin cylcle not working. Makes a funny sound and does not spin
There is a part called the Wig Wag. It is 2 solenoids on a metal bar about 6 inches long. It has a hole in the center of the bar and 3 electrical wires go up through the center. One is a common wire and the other two go to each selenoid. One selenoide when activated causes the WIG WAG to shift the Transmission into WASH MODE or SPIN MODE. They are powered by 115 VOLTS AC and is enough to KILL YOU.
What you will find is the 3 wires are held together by a few wraps of electrical tape. Because the WIG WAG moves while the machine is running, the wires are all the time FLEXING. Eventually a wire will break and in this case it was the SPIN Wire to the SPIN solenoid.
Replacing all 3 wires is the best fix. Splicing near the wig wag could cause the wires to break again, They could then pinch or touch the moving metal parts and if the washer is NOT properly GROUNDED someone could get ELECTROCUTED and KILLED.
USE CAUTION doing this repair. The replacemet wire needs to be FINE Grain Flexable wire. If you use something like Lamp Cord that is not designed to be flexed hundreds of times will soon break.
Check with Sears Parts and ask for a Wig Wag Wire Harness.
You can lay the machine on it's back and see this problem. Caution plugging it in on it;s back, something could break.
The Wig Wag can take your fingers off..... CAREFUL !!!!
Do this repair at your own risk. It is dangerous.
At least you will know what to tell the Repairman.

i would change the coupler between the motor and transmission.... whirlpoolpartssurplus.com
SOURCE: washer makes alot of noise
If the sound your hearing is a " roar " , then its the spin bearings bad and the smell could be the motor , working harder due to the bearing . Eventually , this bearing will wear enough , you'll start seeing water on the floor , gradually more and more . I would suggest you start looking for another washer , due to the cost of replacing the bearings and seal kit .
SOURCE: washer will not agiatate, makes funny noise, will not spin
transmission sounds like its gone bad, will it spin, if it does it mite be ur timer
does not Pump or Spin
because it is stretched. It is probably slipping on the beater bar. This is causing the smell (burning rubber). I don't believe it is your motor. :-)172 views
