No spin,orlitespintry these:bare in mind that many times there is no spin it can be due to a clogged water pump so check it for debris and or broken propeller.

Other items to checkUsing a multi meter check for continuity the door switch, which when bad may not allow agitation or spin.Bare in mindthelid switchassembly can fail either mechanically or electrically.
Check the clutch,motor coupler, brake assembly,transmission,and mode shifter or actuator. one way to check for slipping is to get under the machine after a spin cycle ( this is if u get alilspin but not much leaving clothes still wet) mix in a spray bottle alilwater and some dish detergent, then spray it on the clutch assembly ( the metal round pc. Connected to thetranny) if it sizzles and steams up then u know its bad and slipping. Another way to check clutch if u get no spin at all? Is to take it out and useurhand to try and turn the inner spring assembly pushing it around the inside? If its very easy, it BAD should be hard to push by hand.

Or try the hand test:

If no hammering sound has ever been heard out of this machine, one of the unofficial tests we professionalappliantologistswill do in the field is called the Hand Test. WARNING:This test is not sanctioned by Whirlpool Corporation; it involves bypassing safety equipment and then putting your hand on and near rotating machinery which could result in injury, dismemberment, disfigurement, disembowelment, mangling, hideous screaming, and a ****** *****. Proceed at your own risk! Have a nice day.

- put the timer on a spin cycle and open the lid- grab the inner basket with maybe 30% to 40% of your hand strength with your left hand- turn on the machine and bypass the lid switch by depressing the lid switch with a key until the machine begins to spin- if the clutch is engaging properly, the basket should immediately begin to spin and slip through your hand- if it takes very little force to stop the tub from spinning, the clutch needs to be replaced.

Next check the motor coupler which engages the tub andtrannyto the motor. ( if its bad u usually get no wash or spin or very little of either)

Nextif belt drivencheck for a loose, worn or broken belt.And on some models there is no clutch but rather what is called asplutch. And a MODE shifter. These can go bad and effect the spin cycle.

On some front load models u may need to check the STATOR assembly.
The stator is essentially one half of a motor, it interacts with the tub by creating a strong electro-magnet. If the stator burns out the washer won't spin or agitate. Check the stator for continuity. This part is often misdiagnosed.
Sometimes a no spin machine can be due to a pluggedwaterpumphose or obstructed water pump propeller. Check these by eye and hand.And in some models check with a meter for continuity and voltage.

LID SWITCH TEST-next step is toremove the cabinetand jumper thelid switchharness (tan to gray). Put the unit in spin and watch the shiny metal clutch disc that is on top of the transmission where the shaft comes out. If the machine starts and runs in spin, check to see if the disc is spinning. If it is, then the problem isnot in thegearcase- look for trouble in theclutch,basket driveor thetub drive block

If, on the other hand, the disc is NOT spinning, check for a problem withthe motor drive coupleror one of its retainers. This washer doesn't have a belt. Instead, the motor is directly coupled to thegearcaseby a drive coupler; that's why it's called adirect drive washer.

SOURCE: top rack not cleaning, possibly spinner not spinning?

Try twirling the spinner by hand to see if it is binding. If it looks ok then there could be something plugging the water passage to the spinner. If you have access to a water hose you could run water into that verticle passage pipe and see if there is an obstruction. If so it can be taken apart for cleaning.

It appears your pump has failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

My ps3 disc dose not spin and i dont know why becase i dont want to replace a part like the laser or spiner and only replace one part and need the other, is there a way to test what specific part is broken

We work everyday with ps3 bluray, the reason it wont spin is because your bluray lense is not detecting a DVD as for that it thinks there nothing so there no reason to move the spinner. i would recommend you to buy a a full deck with spinner and lens on ebay.

Thanks

We are unable to start the washing machine...!!the spinner is not spinning...!!

There could be a few things wrong with the washer. If it is a year or two old, your driver belt may be worn out. That would cause it not to run. Your transmission may not be working. Sometimes on older washers, the cluth can wear out and cause it not to spin. You also have a spin bearing and a basket drive that make the washer spin. This could be broke. If nothing is coming on and you don't hear nothing, your motor is not working. Check your drive belt first. This is the most likely cause for your problem. Thanks for using FixYa.

I put the game in but the disk does not spin

try cleaning the spinner and laser and make sure the spinner and game make contact to where they spin. it might be that your tray is kind of crooked and it misses the spinner to where the game wont spin.

The spinner below the top rack is not spinning. Any ideas?

if there is no enough pressure in the water arm dont spin so we should check the inlet filter clean it and also check the valves in the main waterline.

Kenmore agitates doenst spin

You will have to look at the inside of the washer when in spin cycle to see what is going on. Is the spinner motor not engaging the drum? Is the spinner working at all? It sounds like the spinner isn't being moved against the drum before the spin cycle starts. Most washers use a seperate spinner motor, which is lifted off the drum by a relay and / or solenoid and if one or more of those is malfunctioning, it will cause your described problem.
