Hello there:
The
drive motor may be defective. Many washer brands use a reversing motor.
For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and
draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one
direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you
need to replace the entire motor.
The
transmission may not be shifting properly. Older washers produced by
Whirlpool and Kenmore have a transmission with an electro-mechanical shifter. If
the shifter becomes even partially defective, the unit may drain the
water but not spin. This is a complex system, if your washer has a
shifter problem, you may want to hire a qualified appliance repair
technician to repair it.
The
spin bearing or basket drive may be worn or seized. These components
allow the inner tub to spin freely inside the outer tub. When this is
the problem, you usually hear a loud sound during the spin cycle. Call a
qualified appliance repair technician.
