Washer not spinning, only agitates FIX

In this video I show you how I fixed my new washer for free, and how to check yours at home. This was a simple fix that seems to be very common, as far as I know this works on Hotpoint and GE washers. If you need the belt that is another video but still very easy.

I normally don't leave comments, but this was a god send on fathers day. It saved me a long day of appliance repair/shopping. Thanks!

[@francenesoap9125]

OMG!! I have this exact same washer and with the exact same problem. Thanks to you a million times for posting this informative video. I was about to call a repair man and buy an expensive part. It WORKS!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@IntoItIntuit]

Leaving a like for the “that’s what she said.” 🤣😂 I’ll try this tomorrow for my GE. Thanks!

[@roberthughes8472]

I can’t believe that worked! Not all heroes wear capes. You are the man!!

[@d.lew2-debbie]

Life saver! Was just about to spend my new stimulus money on a new washer..... You saved the day! It worked!!!

[@derekc962]

This is amazing. Had the same issue on my Speed Queen. I did this and it worked. My machine is only 4 years old. I was about to go buy a new LG machine. Thank you so much.

[@trustnbelev5090]

This really works! My washer was no longer spinning. I was looking at calling a repairman which would have cost $119 diagnostic fee for just coming out or buying a new washer. I was dealing with this no spinning for months. I tried this without taking off the cover and it worked. I did the entire process the 1st time and her the spinner trying to agitate. So, I did the process again. I saw more movement with the spinner. So, the 3rd time, it worked and it spun at full speed. This entire process took less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much for loading this video. Save me $$$$.

[@PeterSunwoo-ll6fd]

I can't believe it, but it actually worked!!!!!!!!! I did it as my last ditch effort, not actually thinking it was going to work. I wish I recorded my reaction when this hack fixed my washing machine!!!

[@djensky4742]

I appreciate the time you took to make this. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!! Thanks...

[@MrDanTheMan0719]

Thanks brother for the information about this washer. I had the same problem where it agitated the water but would not spin dry. This saved me a service call!

[@OofAvocado]

i’m about to try this on my whirlpool washer. it’s doing the exact same thing. agitating but not spinning, i’ve been having to wring them out by hand feeling like i’m in the pioneer days. there are 5 of us and i’m already broke broke so begging the universe to let this be it! -i tried it and it didn’t work, but i twisted the drum around and now it’s spinning 😊

[@heathhummel7246]

Dude! Your video saved me a new dryer! I was about to give up after checking belt, clutch, capacitor, etc. All I needed was to reset the motor! Who would have thunk it! Now my dryer is back to spinning!

[@monkleyt]

Thank you for uploading this video. It had exactly the piece of information needed to fix this problem.

[@rickashayrabbit1]

Thanks so much for this video. It saved me tons of time and frustration. Also, a service call charging $125 or more was saved.

[@morgansaxby4161]

I know this was posted 3 years ago but IT WORKED AND THANK YOU

[@ericsmall9848]

This did work! Had to wait about 3 minutes after the reset for it to start draining. Then it wouldn't spin, so rebalanced load and now it's spinning away! Thank you so much for this great tip!

[@SAI-cv6ct]

How did you rebalence load

[@jackson92186]

Best video ever. I have watched a number of videos on this problem. All of them led me to believe that fixing this problem was likely out of my skill set and would involve buying a part (consider who's hosting video...an appliance part company?). This is the only video I saw that suggested a reset. It worked! Also very entertaining! Thank you!

[@matta3222]

This freaking worked

[@davidholstman8052]

I came back here to tell you that it worked on our Sharp washer/dryer. I’m glad I tried this first. Thank you so much.

[@Bubblescutiepatootie]

did you press the start before you do the open and close of the washing machine cover?

[@eggggman]

That totally worked for my 6 year old GE washer. Thank you a million times over

[@jim34w3]

Wow, can't believe it worked. Awesome. Thanks for posting video.

[@Coondog74]

I didn’t believe it but I tried it and it worked! At least ran one load, hopefully it keeps working! Thanks man! God Bless!

[@sabrinalabord2084]

What a blessing you are! 🙌🏽 Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!! It worked on my Hotpoint. 👌🏽👌🏽

[@ivanaguilar4378]

Yes this works I didn't believe it. Our washer was not working great since we bought it. My wife told me we could only run light loads. Did what you said unfreaking believable !!! It work as women, its 7 years old and running better than new. Ever since there was an unbalance it has been running slow. You're the MAN!!!! The repairman wanted 1500.00 for a repair

[@Nikki.White.934]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I seriously could cry. I'm so happy. This worked when I needed it to work the most! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@jose810725]

you sir are a true man of genius tonight in the high desert of california i will lift my beer and toast mr. j robling because this worked on my maytag legacy series washer thats at least 15 years old. i dodged a bullet here thank you and cheers!!

[@ctbooths12]

Thank you for uploading. I wish I had watched this before I took the washer apart. Now there is a bag of spare screws I'm going to just put inside the washer in case I need them later.

I have an old 2 belt Maytag washer. Is the machine supposed to agitate in rinse mode? Thanks

[@Xavierstrainsandmotors]

and your video when you pull down to the front panel can you show how to pull down the outer driver drum please on the GE washer??

[@isetfriendsonfire]

Thank you

[@wendelldarcain5750]

Thank so much

[@lashlarue7924]

Had a similar problem but on older model, and my solution was different; the transmission was simply bound up. The fix was just massaging all the various bits and pieces, tapping everything with a hammer, prying up and down on the pulley, checking belts, checking bottom key bits, then manipulating the entire transmission with a set of channel locks. Then it only wanted to spin after I filled the tub back up with water halfway (riddle me that, I have no idea). It's working again now, fingers crossed...

[@kezzaward5104]

Omg thank you thank you thank you 🙏

[@KCKEEN]

Thanx I was in total panic mode. Ours is fairly new and if she came home and I had to tell her this news..lol. It would not have been pretty!

It’s crazy that this just fixed my Maytag. Thank you!!!! I was about to spend $2000 to get a whole new set.

[@gonzosc1]

well I have a double break down here. washer was working fine last week. went to do a load today and I adjusted the water level, the damn knob was really hard to turn. yep it snapped off in my hand. tried to turn it with needle nose and thats a no go. machine is stuck in the lowest water mode, so I did a small load and wouldn't you know it.... the damn thing would not spin now either. just ordered the new water level switch and I will try this spin fix when I get it washing again next week.

[@waltercastro2015]

Did it didn't work but did see the belt almost ripping out. Randomly spins whenever she wants to. Is the motor is bad? Well first i gotta change the belt obviously but the rest the timer makes click commanding to cycle and won't cycle. Lol 😆 now i even set on start to fill the water now doesn't 😑

Does it have to be set on anything like spin or such when you do the lift lid 6 times?

Mine was set to off. not sure if it matters but it worked for me

Thank you!! It is spinning!! I owe you dinner.

[@THEHUSTLER84]

Bro I could hug you man…. I was losing my mind.

[@ericmartin9569]

Mine will spin once it finishes the rinse cycle and starts to pour water out but then stops spinning and makes a noise until it finishes. If I put it on spin cycle only it will spin clothes without a problem. Why is it doing that? There's no water inside left but the clothes feel wet, no soaked but not like it does after a normal spinning cycle.

I had already tried the reset, that didn't help my fast spin problem, it spins just not fast..

"I know, it's way too big, that's what she said." - worth watching this video just to hear that.

I did all of that and in my case it might be the lid switch, but not completely sure

[@rickrockin155]

In my case it was a broken tub strap , not a lid switch
