Fix / Top-Load Washer (with agitator) / Not spinning

Washer not spinning?

A faulty lid lock assembly fails to confirm the lid is secured, and the control board refuses to engage the spin cycle as a safety measure.

• Lid Lock Assembly

  Easy DIY Part: $20–$45

• Shift Actuator

  Moderate DIY Part: $25–$55

  A failed shift actuator cannot move the drive system from agitate mode into spin mode, so the basket never reaches spin speed.

• Motor Assembly

  Hard DIY Part: $80–$160

  A burned-out or failed drive motor cannot produce the torque needed to bring the spin basket to operating speed.

• Drive Hub Disc

  Moderate DIY Part: $8–$20

  A stripped or cracked drive hub disc slips under the spin basket, disconnecting motor torque from the basket during spin.

• Run Capacitor

  Moderate DIY Part: $10–$30

  A failed run capacitor prevents the motor from developing sufficient starting torque to accelerate into spin speed.
