I have a Whirlpool washer that is iritating me. It won't spin any more. It was gradually losing it's spin, and we had to do small loads in order to get it to spin. But now it has stopped completely. Interestingly it does drain and does agitate. Any help?

To get complete info on this direct drive washer, go to my sticky above "replacing direct drive washer brake shoes", you will need to purchase a spanner wrench to fix this if your brake shoes are bad.

Joe, I have to disagree. This forum is about giving advice and info for all who respond, even if they have no mechanical/electrical experience. They can develope skills with the help of this forum. To tell a person they should call someone else may be an insult to the person, and is contrary to the "American" way. We are a can do country and should not give up in dispair.
If we continue to give this negative advice, this fine parts site will loose parts sales.
Only exceptions would be repairs requiring a liscence and ones that require exceptional skills and experience.

Thank you for your response. That is your realization that lacking certain skills, you opt to take this route. For others, with more knowledge and experience, would resent being told they where incapable of doing this job.
