Water does not drain, strange noise while in spin cycle

Washer agitates fine, but when it comes to the spin cycle the water does not drain, and there is a clicking/slight grinding noise. When you turn off the machine while spinning, there is a loud whirring noise(like something is spinning inside extremely fast) We checked to see if anything was caught inside, but nothing there.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like something is stuck in your drain system. Most likely just in front or even in the pump

Not getting any water?

very strange problem.. there is a unit within the washer that does not allow it to start agitating untill the water is at the level desired. its very clever name is water level indicator valve the valve must be jammed closed there fore the washer thinks the barrel is full of water and goes strait into wash cycle. i would say replace the w/l/i and youl be fine

good luck

Problem with a indest wil143s

it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

Washer will fill with water but the agitator won't spin.

No agitation or spin in any cycle? If so and the machine will drain check the coupler.

Broken Washer

it could be the direct drive coupling that connects the motor to the transmission. fill it up with water and see if it will agitate, if it will NOT agitate then it is a good chance that this is the problem. 0404472.jpg

worse case scenario is the transmission is bad, but this is unlikely.

Kenmore stack washer and dryer

gabehart....sounds like belt is slipping. Replace it. The water pump is on a separate smaller motor so is not affected by the agitator/spin motor.
