On my top-loading, GE, WCSR2080B2WW, the tub does not spin on the spin cycle. It seems to agitate fine. When I inspect the drive system as the washer is going, the retainer clip spins, and I can see that the shaft that goes through the clutch is spinning, but the belt and clutch body themselves do not spin. I’ve replaced the V-belt, but the didn’t fix the issue. I took the belt off and with the spin cycle activated, the clutch body was spinning just fine. Am I looking at replacing the clutch, or might it be something else? Thanks!
I think the clutch assembly is the problem, but it is an expensive part. If you buy it from this site and it does not fix the problem you can return it.
Thanks for the reply sidfink! By looking at the clutch, is there a way to tell if it’s bad? Also, my wife said that she smelled a slight burning smell when she ran the washer once or twice since it’s been down (and about 4-5 cycles in the dryer!lol). I’ve heard that that is a tell tale sign that the pads in the clutch are worn down. Is this correct?
Not sure if there is a definitive test but if the motor is turning and the transmission pulley is free then it would seem the clutch is the likely suspect.
