Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive train. Read the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section. Replace the applicable component.Īlternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. If the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®), or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Check to be sure the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too wet at the end of a cycle. When that happens, you need to replace it completely. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. This plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other.
Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small, relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. If it isn't spinning-and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®-you may have a broken coupler.If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine.Let the machine run for a minute, and then open the lid and notice whether the tub is spinning: To test the motor coupler, re-start the washer in its spin cycle. When the clothes are wet at the end of a cycle, check these: Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub-you may notice that your washer has water in it when you haven't used it for a few days. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity is turned off to it. Water-inlet valve Water-inlet valves eventually fail.

Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician. Alternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs.
