Lid Switch Assembly
If the washer won't spin the lid switch
assembly might be defective. This is a very common problem. The lid
switch assembly can fail either mechanically or electrically. Test any
electrical switches with an Ohm meter for continuity. The switches
should have continuity according to their design.
Motor Coupling
If the washer won't spin the motor coupling
might have failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer
transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is overloaded in
order to protect both the motor and transmission. Another common problem
is the lid switch.
Drive Belt
If the washer won't spin, check the drive
belt. If the belt is broken or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the
washer won't spin properly.
Door Lock Motor and Switch Assembly
If the washer spin the door lock assembly
should be checked. The door lock can fail either mechanically or
electrically. Test any switches on the door lock with an Ohm meter. The
switches should have continuity according to their design.
Motor Control Board
If the washer won't spin the motor control
board might be defective. The motor control board provides power to the
motor as well as direction and force. If the motor control board is
defective the washer may not work at all or function properly.
Drive Block
If the washer won't spin the drive block
might be worn out or may have come loose. Underneath the agitator the
drive block connects the inner tub (the one that spins around) to the
transmission. If the drive block wears out the transmission shaft will
still spin but the tub may not - or it may spin slowly. This also
usually causes a lot of noise. The drive block is relatively easy to
replace.
Clutch Assembly
If the washer won't spin, the clutch assembly
might be worn out. The clutch assembly makes the connection between the
transmission and the inner tub. It is designed to allow the tub to get
up to the proper spin speed gradually. As the clutch wears out it may
prevent the tub from spinning. The clutch is not repairable, if it is
loud or not working properly it will need to be replaced.
Clutch Band kit
If the washer won't spin, the clutch band kit
might be worn out. The clutch makes the connection between the
transmission and the inner tub. It is designed to allow the tub to get
up to the proper spin speed gradually. As the clutch wears out it may
prevent the tub from spinning. If the washer won't spin, this clutch
band kit may need to be replaced.
Drive Motor
If the washer won't spin the drive motor
might be defective. This is not common. Check all of the other related
parts to this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is
visibly burned out or physically damaged It will have to be replaced.
Tub Bearing
If the washer won't spin the tub bearing
might have seized. This is a common problem and relatively easy to
replace.
Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
If the washer won't spin the tub seal and
bearing might have seized. This is a common problem and relatively easy
to replace.
Bearing
If the washer won't spin the bearing might
have seized. This is not common. The bearing doesn't require any normal
maintenance. They generally go bad when the tub seal fails and allows
water to leak past into the bearing.
Basket Drive
If the washer won't spin the basket drive
clutch might be worn out. The basket drive sits on top of the
transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the basket drive wears
out the tub won't spin.
Basket Drive Hub Kit
If the washer won't spin the basket drive hub
might be worn out. The hub is a set of plastic gears underneath the
agitator. The basket drive hub kit is easy to replace with standard hand
tools.
Transmission
If the washer won't spin the transmission
might be worn out or defective. There are numerous more likely causes
when a washer won't spin, which should be checked first.
