My belt drive Whirlpool washer will not spin. The motor makes a sound like it is spinning, but it is not. It did spin when it was empty as I was draining it before taking the drum out. I took out the drum and checked for stuck socks and tightened the belt. Most of the time the drum feels locked up when I try to turn it by hand. It seems to agitate and pump just fine. My research all points to a motor coupler, but I think that applies to the direct drive models. Can you give me some clues as to the cause of this in a belt drive model. Thanks.

The first thing I would do is check for continuity the spin solenoid and the spin plunger on the wig-wag (#9 on the break down diagram). Also check the wires. Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool washer Model LA7800XPW1Gene.

Thank you Gene. One of the spin solenoids tested bad and I have a new wig-wag on order. I feel sure my problem is solved. Thanks again! Betty
