How to Fix a Washing Machine That Does Not Spin (Fast and Easy)

Рет қаралды 3,828,207

Washer won't spin? Is you Kenmore or Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning or does it make a loud noise when you turn it on? This is commonly caused by the failure of a $2 plastic coupler and the fix is easy. It will take you 10min and you only need a wrench and screw driver.

I have that EXACT MODEL Washing Machine! I bought the coupler, took it apart and noticed that my Coupler WAS NOT DAMAGED. I changed it anyway. Then upon re-assembly I found the REAL PROBLEM: One of my Pump Retaining Brackets was Rusted and Brittle causing the Pump to dislodge from the Motor during the Spin Cycle which made the washer make that "same sound" when it's not turning. I'm getting another Pump Retainer Bracket tomorrow and my issue will be resolved. Thanks Chris for pointing me in the right direction!!!

Though I can't believe I never stumbled across this one with the washer repair. I have a front loader now, but I remember working kenmore machines with my dad back in the day and changing these couplers. Wish we thought of a jack stand used a cinder block. Lol Still watched regardless of what's being fixed. I remember when the videos were labeled for difficulty and other changes. I'm glad you keep your older content, it's nice to go back and watch from time to time.

You rock, bro. I've been fixing stuff at home for a long time now, most repairs have been relatively easy but I'll tell ya - it often takes longer to find a video that is clear, fast and minus all the blah, blah, blah than it does to do the actual repair! You provide perfectly clear, easy to follow, easy to see directions with no ten minute intro featuring your dog. Not that I have a problem with people's dogs - I'm just here to learn something! The Repair Clinic video for this same fix instructs people to remove the case! Oh, my god, why? That's a huge waste of time. Also no need to detach the wiring harness, which they also advise, though at least that only adds a few seconds. I found it best for me to lay the washer down on its back. The rest was no sweat. I paid 8 bucks for the part, obviously up in price from 8 years ago. For people never doing it before, don't expect 10 minutes to fix, though. Took me an hour, but that includes cleaning the underside, gathering tools, setting up a light, disconnecting hoses, putting it all back. I call that a win. 8 bucks, one hour - thanks, man. I'll be checking your vids first in the future!

The farther back you can lay over the machine, the easier it will be w/o having to remove the cabinet. Beyond 45º worked well. The weight of the motor will assist in re-seating the motor to the transmission. I used a dab of dishwashing liquid on the plastic tabs of the coupler to make it easier to slide the motor onto the seated coupler in the transmission. A rubber mallet is a must. Not quite the "5-minute job" Chris billed it to be, but still HUGE cudos to him for providing this video and enabling me to avaoid a call to the Maytag [in this case, Kenmore] repair man! Thanks, Chris!

Hey there Chris. Just completed the identical repair to my washing machine. Identical machine btw. Mine was a $20 fix though. Ended up going to an appliance sales/service store to buy the part. Maybe could have found it cheaper somewhere else but had to get it done pronto. Thanx for the very good graphics and explanatory steps. From tip up of machine to lowering back down to test, 27 minutes. That doesn't include my driving to pick up the part, LOL. That took 11 minutes.

I have an older whirlpool top load washer from the early 90's that recently stopped working. It filled and drained the drum like normal but neither the agitator nor the drum would spin. The clothes basically just sat in still water for 15 minutes. Thankfully my washer design is almost exactly like the Kenmore in this video, so every step that Chris does matches with my washer too. I checked under the washer and found lots of shredded plastic and broken prongs from the old coupler. I knew immediately that I had the same issue from the video. Every step was the same as Chris described, except the coupler I used was really hard to get on the motor and transmission shafts. that caused a 15 minute job to turn into 2 hours. I had to use a hammer to get them on, and it still took well over an hour to get them both on. After that everything else just fell into place. I'm so thankful for this video, this video and an $8 coupler saved me from having to spend several hundreds of dollars to replace my washer. It works just like before! I'm glad there's a channel likes Chris' that encourages regular people to perform their own repairs.

I’m stuck at home with pneumonia and my washing machine won’t spin. I watched your video and ordered the part from Amazon. Even though I’m dazed and short of breath from the pneumonia, I was able to prop the machine up, pull the motor off, and successfully change out the part. I still feel like crap, but at least I don’t have to smell bad, too. Your video is the best. Thank you very much!

Like another comment I saw, I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works out of town 4 days a week so I try to figure things out so he doesn’t have to when he is home. I just want to thank you for this video with which I was able to quickly figure out what part needed to be ordered. This is the highlight of the internet…don’t have to call Dad, don’t have to burden my husband, and don’t have to pay lots of money to a repair person. Thanks again!

I was able to fix my washing machine thanks to your video (03/04/2023). I have never even heard of this part (and my uncle used to be a repair man for all appliances. RIP). My washing machine was 30 years old, but for mine, the plastic arms had broken like the video shows, but also my black rubber piece was totally worn out and actually it had big worn out gaps where these arms go into; so it was a double failure of that part. Thanks for doing so well on explaining this process. THANK YOU!
