Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning

Whirlpool Washer Not Spinning - Easy Fix

Whirlpool washer not spinning and the easy way to fix it. If you have a Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, or Roper washer that looks similar to what you see in this video, there is an easy fix to a no spin problem. Usually if the washer is filling, agitating, and draining but not spinning, the culprit is the shift actuator which switches the washer from agitating to final spin. In this video I show you how to replace the shift actuator to get your washing machine up and running again! Here are the parts I ordered on Amazon for this fix. I also ordered a clutch kit just in case but never ended up using it:

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have a Whirlpool washer which is three and a half years old. During a wash cycle, it stopped spinning and made the loudest, horrible, grinding noise I have ever heard. It was out of warranty so Whirlpool, of course, wouldn't offer any help or advice. Oh, they did offer 10% off if I bought another one! Fat chance of ever buying a Whirlpool again. I have called a serviceman so I'm hoping he can repair it. Thank you again.

WOW .. interesting to see what goes on with such new fangled clothes washer. I bought my latest clothes washer in Oct 2002 and it is still good; I did have to replace lid switch a few years ago with help of youtube and the blessing of being able to find the needed part. I so appreciate you Jay, and others like you who help people by sharing How To Repair videos on just everything. TY

I just bought my whirl pool washer, the 2 in 1. It washes but doesn’t drain the water completely and leaves my cloths wet after the cycle finishes, but if I switch it to drain and spin it completes the cycle and leaves them dry. What could be the problem ?

We have a washing machine about 2 years ago it was flooded so we just stored it, tried it today it still works. Its also a whirlpool. Is it safe to use? Don't really know much about em but I could open the inside

@dankelley9361 9 ай бұрын

Thanks Jay, loves your videos! How can you find different recalibration mode setting for different manufacturers? It seems nowadays manufacturers hide all these setting & informations to keep do it yourselfers away from fixing various appliance problems.

@WordofAdviceTV 9 ай бұрын

You're welcome! I agree, it does seem like they purposely hide it away. Most of the time the "secret service manual" will be hidden either in the back of the washer, behind the back cover panel or it will be taped on the inside of the washer in the front corner. You would need to disassemble and lift the top to get to it.

Does the calibration step apply to older models. Mine doesn't have any kind of lights

@WordofAdviceTV 7 ай бұрын

It varies from model to model but if yours does not have any lights there are probably no recalibration procedures besides just unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in.

@JJL-1962 4 ай бұрын

I have the same washer but a different problem. The drum does spin but tends to bang the sides of the washer. Even if the load is perfectly balanced is still bangs. Even when empty there appears to be too much play with the drum. You can easily push it from side to side. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Recalibration sequence: 1) Set back where it was turn on and wait at least 30sec 2) Twist dial counterclockwise one full rotation back to normal 3) Turn three clicks the right 4) Turn one click to left 5) Turn one click back the right *All must be complete within 3 sec. LIGHTS FLASHING WILL INDICATE CALIBRATION UNDERWAY

What if it doesn't drain? It gets to the point where it should drain and stops there. I can force it to drain by setting it on Drain and Spin and restarting. But it still doesn't spin. Again I set it to Drain and Spin and restart again and it spins out. Is it still the same part?

@@WordofAdviceTV of course my issue doesn’t seem to be anything stripped out. Ive taken out and cleaned plate. The gears dont seem to damaged and the actuator feels to be good (the machine is only a couple years old). However, it sounds as if the noise is coming from electric motor. It spins, but makes a god-offal noise and tub doesnt spin… 🤔
