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!
A clunking noise in a Whirlpool washer can be caused by a variety of issues such as a broken drive belt, worn drum bearings, or a loose drum pulley. If the washer is not spinning all the way out, it could be due to an unbalanced load, a malfunctioning motor, or a faulty control board. It is recommended to have a professional technician diagnose and repair the specific issue.
When you shorten the string while a washer is whirling, the velocity of the washer will increase. This is because the radius of the circle that the washer is moving in becomes smaller, which results in a shorter distance for the washer to travel in the same amount of time, increasing its velocity.
There could be several reasons why a washer may not spin clothes dry. Some potential causes include a broken drive belt, a malfunctioning motor, a clogged drain pump, or issues with the door latch or lid switch. It's best to consult a professional technician to diagnose and address the specific problem with the washer.
To prevent your washer agitator from banging loudly during the spin cycle, try to balance the load inside the machine by redistributing the clothes. Make sure the washer is level on the ground to avoid any vibrations. Additionally, you can check that the agitator isn't loose or damaged, as this could also cause the noise.
If your washer won't spin, it could be due to a broken drive belt, a faulty motor, a clogged drain pump, or a malfunctioning lid switch. Check these components to troubleshoot the issue and determine the necessary repair.

The spin cycle on your Whirlpool washer may not be working due to issues with the lid switch, drive belt, or motor. It is recommended to check these components for any damage or malfunction and consult a professional for further assistance if needed.
Yes, a Whirlpool washer can still spin even if it is not hooked up to water. The spin cycle is primarily a mechanical function that doesn't require water to operate. However, some models may prevent the spin cycle from starting if they detect that the door is not properly closed or if other safety mechanisms are triggered. Always consult the user manual for specific model information.

The motor control unit (MCU) on a Whirlpool Duet automatic washer is typically located at the bottom of the machine, near the back. To access it, you usually need to remove the rear panel of the washer. The MCU is responsible for controlling the motor's functions, such as spin and agitation. Always ensure the washer is unplugged before attempting any repairs or inspections.
The motor runs in one direction to agitate, in the opposite direction to spin. If the reversing switch is bad, the brake will not release, the tub won't spin, and you may smell the belt getting hot due to slippage.

If a Maytag washer fills with water but does not agitate it could a problem with the switch in the lid. There is a switch that locks the lid down during agitation and spinning. The magnet could be defective.
