If your washer won’t spin or leaves clothes soaking wet, it’s usually an unbalanced load, a drain problem, a worn lid lock or door latch, or a failed belt or motor coupler. The washer won’t spin until it drains and the lid locks, so start there.
Check these first
- Balance the load: a single heavy item stops the spin — redistribute
- Drainage: it won’t spin until it drains; check the pump and hose
- Lid lock / door latch: a worn lock prevents spin for safety
- Level: an unlevel washer can abort the spin
The likely parts
If it drains and latches but still won’t spin, the drive belt, motor coupler, or clutch has usually failed. On top-loaders the lid switch and actuator are common; on front-loaders the door lock and belt.
