Your main switch needs replaced. The motor that drives the switch operates because it goes through the other cycles, so the switch must be bad. murf427
it is not supposed to pump water unless it is in the spin cycle. On most topload washers the motor turns one way for the agitate cycle and then the motor reverses during the spin/rinse cycle which in turn reverses the pump and causes it to pump the water out.
Hi just read your posting.Now from the information on your posting the machine is noisy on spin and your motor is cutting out after a short spin.Is this correct?Now does the motor cut out during a wash cycle?If the motor only cuts out during the spin cycle , and with your machine being noisy on spin,I think the fault will be your bearings are corroded.With the bearings being corroded it puts more load on the motor causing the inbuilt thermal overload in the motor to activate and turning the motor off to save it from burning out.Please reply with additional information on, if it cuts out on wash and I am sure I can help you further.
This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.
If the machine starts, fills and goes through its' agitate cycle fine, the problem is likely not in the motor or transmission.
This type of washer uses a reversible motor. When turning one way, the machine agitates the clothes.
When the timer gets to the spin cycle, the motor reverses, drives the pump (directly from the motor) for a period of time and then goes into spin cycle.
This appears then that is is either the connection to the motor itself or the timer.
The timer is driven by a separate motor on the control panel so if the contacts for the spin cycle are worn, the timer will move but the motor won't turn on.
you can check two things,. One is, is the belt broken or stretched, the other is the motor, is the motor turning if the motor is turning then replace the belt. If the motor is not turning replace the motor.
