Possible causes: Motor is bad (can you hear the motor run?) Belt the from the motor to pulley/drum is worn or broke Bad timer or control unit
There could be several reasons why your Maytag washing machine is not spinning. This could be due to a broken belt, a fault in the motor, a clogged drain pump, or an issue with the lid switch. It's best to consult a professional technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
I buy a new one
i know, but i wont tell you
If your washing machine does not spin, it could be several factors. Some older machines are belt driven, and it might be the belt that broke. More modern machines have transmissions in them that control the central agitator and the spinning of the drum. It could be possible that the transmission has died, or there is usually a plastic coupling-motor flange in the transmission that might have broken or worn out. If you hear a humming, or start to smell a burning odor, stop the washer and have it looked at by a service tech. Chances are if you can hear something, it is worth fixing. However, transmissions are not worth the price of replacing them.
May be a wigwag problem - one of the coils went bad. Not joking - google it- I had this problem.
To stop your washing machine from moving, make sure it is level on the ground and all feet are properly adjusted. You can also place a rubber anti-vibration mat under the machine to reduce movement and noise. Additionally, avoid overloading the machine or using an unbalanced load during washing cycles.
It could be the transmission or the belt. Many washing machines, while having different manufacturers, work on the same principle. For example, I owned a Kenmore machine for many years, and when I had the spin problem, I first checked the transmission. Perhaps the machine's transmission is kaput (broken), or maybe a belt is busted. Try looking at these two things first. Also, make sure that your washing machine is plugged in. You probably need a pump and motor kit
make sure your drain hose is not covering the whole circumference of your drain pipe or you wont get good ventalation. Option 2 vent pipe in wall could be slightly plugged.
The wig-wag or spin actuator or belt is faulty. -Simple problem for someone experienced in washing machines.
the the cover off of your distrubutor cap.. look and see if the screw is in the post of the spinning disc.. or see if it turns freely.. 3 dollar fix if so..
The issue could be with the timer mechanism or a faulty switch that controls the cycle. It's best to disconnect power to the machine and have a professional technician inspect and repair it to ensure safety and proper functioning.
The year and model # of washer would have been helpful !- Without knowing that, first check the belt at bottom, it may be slack or broken. If no belt check the 'flip-flop' solenoid unit (This is two solenoids mounted on a movable frame)
