Washing Machine Won't Spin

[ChumpChange]

Had this issue a few years back. Agitator Dogs. $5 part and about ten minutes and it was back as new. Watched a YouTube video to fix it.

Thanks, I'll check them. They are easy to get to on top. I had this happen on last washer.

Youtube is a GREAT resource, like Mateo stated, when it comes to the DISassembly... I have been patching up my washer for sooooooo long now... It is WAY past nine lives, Im just getting tired of looking at it so I promised to buy a new set when either the dryer or washer breaks the next time...

I'm surprised that it wasn't the switch on the lid like GN7 said, thats a pretty common one...

I haven't found anything on the washer that is actually hard to repair and have done a transmission, motor, pump, coupler, door switch and the water level switch on this old set that I'm nursing along... PITA getting them OUT and disposed of and the new units in place or these would have been LONG gone...

Thanks, if it turns out to be transmission I'll probably just head to Costco. I have replaced a switch on dryer door once. Your right, they aren't ratchet science.

If you take out a contract on all your appliances you will be as good as gold. I have never had any luck with the lid switch, everyone else does. I only had luck with the defrost timer once on my fridge. Other than that it was always back to the appliance store.

Now THAT is serious... You can take your dirty clothes down to the creek and beat them on a rock/wash them... But warm beer??? BLECH!!!!!

The last time mine wouldnt spin it was the small plastic/rubber/plastic "lovejoy" coupling that came apart... It's a blur now but I know that was the broken part... Seems like it would wash/agitate but not spin/extract...

Yea, the video I watched was making the same noise mine has and they replaced the flex coupling. Looks easy to fix.

some small spring clips are all that holds the MFing motor to the frame BUT if you dont get the plastic halves all the way onto the motor shaft you wont ever get the spring clips to latch... I was shy by about 1/16" of having the plastic part all the way on the motor shaft and it wouldn't latch back together, I used a deep socket as a drift to tap it the rest of the way on so that I didn't crack the little drive dogs on the coupler... It's coming back to me now...

Also, if the coupler halves arent all the way in place it will load the armature to the opposite end of the motor housing/bearings and it will drag, make sure it spins freely by and after you get it back together and your golden...
