MY TOP LOADER WHIRLPOOL WASHER FILLS WITH WATER BUT WILL NOT SPIN OR DRAIN. I CAN NOT GET THE TUB TO EVEN MOVE BY HAND. ALSO IT MAKES A NOISE WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MOVING.

basket drive and clutch is needed

but the springs can be week or broken

It is normal to have residual water in the drain lines and pump following a wash cycle. This is the low point of the drain cycle and gravity will ALWAYS cause some water to be there. As long as the water is not visible in the spin basket, you have nothing to worry about.

Some model washers also have a balance ring around the perimeter on top of the wash tub that is filled with fluid. This acts as a stabilizer to help keep the washer balanced during the spin cycle. If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this is helpful to you.

if it's running (making noise) but not moving it's the coupling between the motor and trans$13.00 part if it is just sitting there quiet it's probly the lid switch is broken this only applies to top loaders

sounds like you have a broken lid switch on the washer, maybe someone slammed the door or placed or stood on top of the washer, a broken lid switch won't allow washer to go into spin mode is a safety device so if is on spin cycle an someone sticks their hand it the machine stops an not breaks your hand.

broken lid swtich

good luck leave some feedback thanks!

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.

SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN COUPLER, YOU WILL FIND THIS BETWEEN MOTOR & TRANSMISSION.

HI thanks for your question. the part that failed is called the motor coupling. it s located on the motor and the transmission. if you need help to replace come on back. but that's the part you need to change. thanks

check the dogs in the agitater

The transmission might have locked up causing the motor to overheat.
