Washer Wont Spin Can You Help?

Answer Question

  • The
    motor coupler may be broken. Many Whirlpool®-manufactured washers use a
    small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. 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.The clutch
    may be worn. If your washer is a GE, it may use a clutch to come up to
    the proper spin speed. As the clutch wears out, it may prevent the unit
    from spinning well or at all. If the clutch is worn, you need to
    replace it. For this job, you probably want to hire a qualified
    appliance repair technician.
  • The
    spin bearing or basket drive may be worn or seized. These components
    allow the inner tub to spin freely inside the outer tub. When this is
    the problem, you usually hear a loud sound during the spin cycle. Call
    a qualified appliance repair technician.
  • A belt
    may be broken. Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt
    is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt
    from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with
    special characteristics not found in automotive belts.)
