Washer does not spin. I heard a loud sound and found out it was my washer. I do hear clicking from the lid. What else could it be? Am I able to replace the part myself?
Thanks Julie

Hi Julie

If you are handy with basic tools, and have someone to help out you can probably repair the machine yourself. You will have to decide if it is something you want to do and is worth doing, but we need to try to solve the problem first.

We need to have a little more info.

Does the machine drain, and if you start it up from the beginning does it fill and agitate?

Can you hear the motor running when it is trying to spin?

Let us know and we will see if we cannot narrow down the problem.

The most common problem I have found with them washers is a motor coupling issue ... You will need to unclip the motor and inspect the motor coupling for worn rubber and broken tabs.

As far as I Know, it fills up with water, I don't know if it agitates but I do hear the motor run when I try the spin cycle. I would assume we can rule out the lid switch? because I do hear a click when I open/close lid. I am pretty handy and do a lot of my own repairs, but I never tackled a washer and dryer. Thank you.

If you can determine if it agitates and drains we can give you some suggestions.

Right on Gabe!
The problem was a worn rubber that broke all three tabs. I found out that the reason these break is washing heavy duty rugs, blankets..... but in my case a very old machine (since 1991) but still working like new. Took 30 minutes to repair.Thanks again for your help. Julie
