Washing Machine Doesn't Spin |
If the washer seems to complete all of its cycles but doesn’t spin:
1) Be sure the load of clothes is not lopsided. If the tub becomes unbalanced, it may spin erratically or not at all. Sometimes you can just open the lid and reposition the clothes. This automatically resets an off-balance shut-off switch. Just close the lid and retry. 2) Check the lid switch and the tab on the lid that strikes it. If the plastic tab is broken, the washer may halt during the spin cycle. If the switch doesn’t click when you press and release it, it’s probably broken. If you’re experienced at home repair, you can remove the switch, test it, and replace it if needed; otherwise, call an appliance repairperson. 3) The belt may be loose, worn, or broken. If you’re fairly handy, tighten or replace the belt; otherwise call an appliance repairperson.
4) There may be a problem with the controls; if this is the case, call an appliance repairperson.
