washing machine will not spin and the belt is not off?

PLEASE HELP.

MY WASHING MACHINE IS NOT SPINNING.

I CHECKED THE BELT AND ITS PROPERLY SEATED.

----------

OK.

Get the motor checked.Its either getting weak or the motor coupler is cracked.If the motor isn't running, the lid switch may be defective. If so, the washing machine can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.The other possibility is the transmission may not be shifting properly. If the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may drain the water but not spin.

water runs in but the tumbler does not spins?

PLEASE HELP.

MY WASHING MACHINE IS NOT SPINNING.yOU CAN SEE WATER DRAINING,BUT TUMBLER WILL NOT SPIN?

-----------

OK.

This is common problem faced by many other users too.

The lid switch may be defective. If it is, the washing machine doesn't spin. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it. The motor coupler may be broken.It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. You may need to replace it.If the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may drain the water but not spin.This are possibilities to be checked.

No spin problem on washing machine?

WHY MY WASHING MACHINE WILL NOT SPIN?

ITS NOT GOING TO SPIN CYCLE?

This advice is for Whirlpool manufactured direct-drive TOP LOADING washers with a no-spin problem.

This includes Kenmore, Roper, Estate, and certain Kitchenaid, Kelvinator and Maytag models.

WHY THIS NO SPIN PROBLEM OCCURS ?
The most common source of a no spin problem can either be attributed to a broken motor coupling, or a lid switch malfunction.

BASIC HOUSEHOLD TOOLS LIKE SCREWDRIVER, PLIERS, PRIER, AND PUTTY KNIFE ETC ETC ARE REQUIRED. -----

ALWAYS KEEP MARKER AND HANDY-CAM READY, WHILE PERFORMING THESE JOBS.

MARKER COMES IN USE TO MARK THE POSITION OR PARTICULAR WIRE OR SCREW AND HANDY CAM COMES IN USE FOR GETTING THE EXACT PICTURE OF PART,WHEN IT WAS ASSEMBLED, SO WHILE DIS-ASSEMBLY, YOU CAN JUST VIEW THE PICTURE/PHOTO AND THAT HELPS YOU A LOT.

MOTOR COUPLING:

If the washer will fill and drain, but won't agitate or spin, you may have a broken motor coupling. The noise of the motor engaging, lack of agitation and ability to still drain are the usual symptoms. This is a common fail item with this model washer through normal wear and tear. Newer versions of the coupler are more resilient and resist breaking. The following link explains how to replace one:

http://schematicsdiagram.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-replace-motor-coupling-on.html

The motor coupling is located between the drive motor and the transmission and takes the place of a drive belt. This configuration is known as a "direct-drive" system. They do wear out and can break. The replacement part number is included in the link I provided and is an improved upgraded coupling that is more resilient. It should last longer. If you have questions, or require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

A replacement coupler can be purchased for about $10 - $15. The part number is included in the link provided above.

LID SWITCH:

If the washer fills and doesn't do anything, or stops right after the wash cycle and won't advance to the rinse cycle, this is commonly caused by a lid switch malfunction. The washer usually will NOT drain either. The lid switch is usually mounted under the washer top casing, on the right hand side on most top load models. It is activated by a plastic piece on the lid (called a "Lid Strike") through a small hole on the rim of the wash tub opening. In many cases the lid strike breaks off the lid, or the lid switch becomes loose and no longer makes contact. Inspect the lid to make sure the lid strike is still intact, and then inspect the mounting screws (adjacent to the small opening on the wash tub rim) and make sure they are snug. If you determine the switch to be defective, the following link explains how to replace one:

http://schematicsdiagram.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-replace-lid-switch-on-washing.html

On some models, the lid switch is located under the top casing by one of the lid hinges. You will know if you if you have this type of switch, because It does not have a lid strike and the small hole on the right hand side of the wash tub will not be present. This switch is actuated (toggled) by a rod on the lid hinge. With this type of switch, if you locate it and it can be toggled by hand, you may only need to adjust the actuator by bending it slightly. The average price for a replacement lid switch is $20 - $30.

Take note of your symptoms:

1. Washer fills, may or may not agitate, will not advance to the rinse cycle, and will NOT drain - LID SWITCH.

2. Washer fills, does NOT agitate or spin, but WILL drain - MOTOR COUPLING.
