My washer wont spin, it will turn slowly as if it is going to spin but not full speed. it is approx 2/3 yrs old. I changed the carbon bushes( although they still looked new) this didnt make any difference. i have checked the pump and filter, all looked o.k have you any suggestions please before I have to get a repair man out. It is a whirlpool awo/d6728
🙁Re: Whirlpool washer wont spin
Did it not spin on more than one occasion? Was the load of clothes large, med, small, single large item?
There is an out of balance circuit built in to the pcb which will stop the machine from spinning if the load is either out of balance or, as is more common, when you`ve washed, say, a pair of jeans, or single big towel, or even 2 big towels- it will just try to spin (distribution speed)but never gets spinning.If so that would be the normal state of affairs. But
possible that if it mucks up regardless of load size being “normal” ie your usual mixture of clobber, that the pcb is up the creek, though i`d be surprised if it was but any disaster is conceivable these days even at a mere 2 years.
As you have checked that it pumps out ok I can`t think what else it could be other than an iffy pressure switch which is not a common problem as far as I know and you also get other symptoms too like over filling caused by a blockage…..though at 2-3 years old, unlikely.
Can`t be more specific but at least it is a pointer.
Let us know what happens.
Best of luck with your machine.
