Problem

Washer Not Spinning

Quick answer

A washer that won't spin often has an unbalanced load, a failed lid switch or door lock, a worn drive belt, a bad motor coupler or a drain problem preventing the spin cycle. Redistribute the load and retry; if it still won't spin, the lock, belt or control needs service.

Common causes

  • Unbalanced load
  • Lid switch or door lock
  • Drive belt
  • Motor coupler
  • Drain blockage

Should you call a technician?
