Does the motor run when spin is selected? If the motor runs, Check the DRIVE COUPLING!!!!:)

The motor runs great. Where would the drive coupler be located? :confused:

It is located between the Motor and the Transmission, If you lay the washer back so you can look under it, Its 2 white plastic pieces with a black rubber between them.:)

Check the drive block as described in one of our previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...ir/373-not-spinning.html.

Here are the break down diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL LA5550XTW0 | AppliancePartsPros.com

As I stated the coupling (Drive Block) is good. If the motor and pump is working on spin in all three locations it's not the timer? Could it be in the transmisson? :rolleyes:

Coupling and drive block are absolutely different parts. Can you refer to the diagram numbers which part did you call "coupling"?

Does the washer drain? If it does then open and close the lid while it's draining. Post the results.
