Although all brands are different in design, the basic concept is the same. When a machine won't spin, there are several things to consider:

• Is the belt broken? Loose?


• Does the lid switch click when closing?


• Does the spin solenoid engage?


• Drive coupling worn out? (on some newer Whirlpool & Kenmore)


• Current to motor? (Use voltmeter to check)

Need a good meter to check all of this?

As you can see, there are many things that can cause the same problem. Be sure to eliminate each one before assuming one particular part is bad.
