Update: ran the machine with the door open, and the drum rotates a few times in one direction, then changes direction, and repeats this a couple of times before bypassing the spin cycle alltogether. Maybe it is something to do with the initertia ballance switch, but i hear it it hard to get to on the stacked units. any ideas?

Hello all,

We have stacked Maytag washer/dryer unit at our dormitory facility, and the washer is not spinning out the water. It's a real mystery at this point.

Here's what we checked so far, based on info from previous posts.
The door-lock light goes on during the rinse and spin cycles, and I have checked the circuit board and R11 looks fine, and no other components on the board looked burned out.

I vac-ed out all the dust and checked a lot of the connectors, which also look fine to me.

I also checked the switch on the very bottom of the washer, and it does cut the circuit when the button is depressed.

I reached back and checked the belt which feels tight and in tact.

However it also seems like the water is not draining properly, so I disconnected the drain hose and used a wet vac to vac out the water, which was a lot left over at the end of the cycle. Even still, the following cycle still not spin and it seems like water is left in the washer because I hear it when I rotate the drum.

Any help you can provide will be much appreciated! Thank you and hope you're having a great day.
