As a Whirlpool service technician to answer your question one would need to know the age of your washer, as design has changed over the years. It could be a simple as you are not closing the lid to as complex as a bad wire.

There is an arm that rocks back & forth called the "wig-wag". It has 2 solenoids with plungers on it. These plungers operate the transmission of your washer. There is a pin that goes through the plunger foot that has a tendency to break. If it breaks, your washes will fill & drain but won't agitate or spin. I have found that replacing the pin with a cotter pin from a hardware store costs about 15 cents & about 1/2 an hour tops!

How do you repair a direct drive top load whirlpool washer that won't spin?

Since direct drive motor is a more complex part of a washing machine, it is better to let it be handled by an expert. Its mechanisms are unlike that of a belt-driven washer. You should have it checked by a repair man. Most direct drive washers have longer warranty on the motor. Check your model of washer and find out if it has a longer warranty.
