My washer is top lip, now the washer stop spinning. How to fix it please?
'top lip'? you mean a top load?
If it washes okay and the motor runs, it is likely the capacitor on the motor that does spin has failed,
Or the motor control board has failed.
Or the timer controller / main board has failed.

Capacity of a may tag front load model #MHW6000AW0
I don't have real-time access to specific product information, including Maytag front load washing machines. However, I can provide you with some general information. The capacity of a washing machine is typically measured in cubic feet or kilograms and refers to the amount of laundry it can hold in a single load.
I want to bypass lid lock
It would be innapropriate to recomend the removal of a safety device.
I would repair it, not remove it.
Why does my water won't stop filling?
A few possible causes:
Blocked Water Level Switch: Most top-loading washing machines utilize a pressure switch to tell the water when to shut off during a wash or rinse cycle. If the tube becomes blocked with minerals from hard water or if the switch itself goes bad, the water will never shut off.
Bad Water Valve: Valves at the points where the hot and cold water hoses enter your washing machine control the flow of water into the machine. If these valves become stuck open, or if their seals become lost or compromised, the water will continue to flow into the machine.
Faulty Controls: The controls might fail to acknowledge the input from the pressure switch and never advance from one cycle to another. In some cases, this is a voltage problem, while in other cases the controls themselves are bad and would need to be replaced.
If you've already cleaned and cut the ends of the tube going to the level sensor and the issue persists, it might be best to consult with a professional appliance repair service. They can help diagnose and fix the problem accurately. Please remember to turn off the water supply and unplug the machine before attempting any repairs.
Whirlpool heavy duty commercial washer # cae2743800 will not start after coins inserted and start button held
Check the Coin Mechanism:
Ensure that the coin mechanism is functioning correctly. Sometimes, coins may get stuck or not register properly. Verify that the coin slots are clear and that the mechanism is engaging properly.
If there's an issue with the coin mechanism, it could prevent the washer from starting. You might need to clean or repair it.
Inspect the Wiring:
There should be a harness with two wires that go into the coin mechanism box. Check if these wires are intact and properly connected. If you find any damage or loose connections, consider repairing or replacing the wiring.
Bypass the Coin Mechanism:
If you suspect that the coin mechanism is causing the problem, you can bypass it temporarily.
Cut the wires going into the coin mechanism and insert a push button switch in the line. This will allow you to manually start the washer without relying on the coin mechanism.
If you're unsure how to do this, consider contacting a local repair shop for assistance.
Check for Other Issues:
Inspect other components such as the lid switch, control board, and start button. Any malfunction in these parts could prevent the washer from starting.
Make sure the washer is plugged in and that there are no tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses.

Hisense top loader WTCT802 8kg washing machine,
This could be down to a number of reasons. The most common of which is a displaced or faulty spin switch. This switch tell the machine that the lid is closed (or that the top is on a front loader). I know this may sound silly, but if you have a spin speed selector, double check to see that it's not been set to "0".
If neither of those work/fit the problem, and also if it is showing any error codes, eg. F01/F02/UNB, please let me know
Wascomat W655 motor not engaging and final spin pops breaker.
It sounds like you've already tried several troubleshooting steps, but let's see if we can narrow down the issue with your Wascomat W655 commercial washer. Here are some additional things to consider:
Motor Capacitor: The motor capacitor plays a crucial role in starting the motor. If it's faulty, the motor might not engage properly. Consider checking or replacing the motor capacitor.
Motor Wiring: Inspect the wiring connections to the motor. Loose or damaged wires can prevent the motor from functioning correctly. Ensure all connections are secure and free from damage.
Motor Brushes: The motor brushes wear out over time. If they're worn down, the motor won't engage. Check the brushes and replace them if necessary.
Belt Tension: If your washer has a belt-driven motor, ensure that the belt is properly tensioned. A loose or damaged belt can cause motor issues.
Drain Pump: Although you mentioned that the drain pump seems to be working fine, it's still worth verifying. Sometimes a malfunctioning drain pump can affect other components.
Mechanical Obstructions: Inspect the drum and surrounding components for any obstructions. Something lodged in the drum or motor assembly could prevent movement.
High-Speed Spin: Since the issue occurs during the high-speed spin, focus on components related to this phase. It could be related to the motor, belt, or even the drum balance.
A professional technician could perform more advanced diagnostics.
If you haven't already, you might find it helpful to consult the diagrams and manuals specific to the Wascomat W655 washer. Alliance Laundry Systems provides replacement parts and repair resources.

GE WASHER MODEL GFWH1200HOWW RUNNING EXTRAAA LONG ON WASH CYCLES??
Hello Heather
Good to see you again.
Also check the small strainers on the water connectors. They can block up with limescale and debris. While the connectors are off, turn on the water into a bucket or a sink. You should have a VERY powerful jet of water. Anything that will reduce flow will lengthen the fill time and therefore to total wash time due to fill and rinses. When it pumps out, also check you have good flow in the drain hose and items can jam in the ridges and catch lint enough to block them almost completely.
One clever thing to do is whilst the water inlet connectors are off, unlock the drain hose, unhook the part that makes the hook, put the round connector in the hose and wrap a tea towel around it. Get someone to turn the water on full bore whilst you are gripping the two hoses together. Run it for a full minute. Water will be flushed into the machine through the pump in reverse. Put everything back and run a rinse and spin with nothing in it, look at all the black lint that is pumped out! I did that once at work and found an apple stalk that had lodged across the ridges of the drain hose which had 90% blocked the pipe.

Nikai 6 Kg washing machine head spinning but sticking.
Put a gallon of nearly boiling water in it for 30 minutes and then do a wash with nothing in it. That should dissolve the washing powder debris. Then stop using powder and switch to HE liquid detergent.
If that doesn't fully fix it, try a proper descaling solution like CLR or Lime Away.
Kenmore washer 110.20022013 stops after wash cycle
Usually it's the lid switch..When you open the lip look straight down usually..When you close the lid it inserts a small plastic piece that goes into the hole telling the washer the lids down..If it broke it will make the washer stop mid cycle..You can stick a wooden (only made of wood) into the hole and sometimes it will start to work..Then you know that's the problem and just get your model number of the washer and replace it..Hope this helps
