It sound like the belt broke, If you can turn over the washer and see if it did take to old belt and replace it with the same one, new of corse, it is not hard to do. be careful to unplug the washer first and get a person that has the strength to turn it over for you, I hope this helps and God bless you.
Remove the cap off the agitator, flip back the top of the console, remove any nuts keeping the tub in the console. There will be a clutch ring that needs to be replaced.

Review the archives on this (do "search"). This subject has come up numerous times and that is probably why no one has replied, and also you may also be able to narrow down more specific info to your problem... from the many posts.
I have a Whirlpool washer that does not spin out at times. The water drains and it will go through the cycle, but the tub will not spin and it smells hot. If I turn the agitator and turn it back to the spin cycle it usually works? Any clue as to what may be causing the problem?

I have a stack washer that works and does everything, but it doesn't work on the spin cycle. What can I do? The washer is a Frigidaire brand.

I have an older top load washing machine. I agitates, fills, and drains, but it won't spin. It sounds like it is spinning, but it doesn't.

We had this problem with an old land lords washing machine. It sounds like the transmission has seized up. They tend to do that more on the spin cycle than any other cycle. It's an expensive fix & doesn't last long and the transmissions are rebuilt. The repair man told us it was best to buy a new one because it is so expensive. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I hope this helps & good luck.
I need help on finding what's going on with my washer. It won't spin and I am not sure where I can find the info on fixing it myself.

My top loading washer won't spin and is making a really loud popping sound, like some thing's slipping. What could this be?

The part he replaced commonly wears out (my machine is 10 years old) and is an easy fix for someone who knows what he is doing. This guy knew exactly what to bring as I described the problem over the phone, had specialized tools for the job that he had made himself, and knew how to get into the machine with no fuss or mess or moving things around. It was a joy to watch him work, and well worth the money for the peace of mind in having it done right. (02/08/2010)

My washing machine spin cycle won't work, unless I get it going by helping it spin. Then it will slowly build up to top speed, but won't get started on its own.

If you can't find the answer to your problem, search out more websites by using the Google search engine. If you find it impossible to repair it yourself, and if the washer isn't too old, call in a repairman. (03/03/2010)

My washing machine is not spinning. The belt is good, the motor is running, and it sounds like it's running, but is not spinning.

My Maytag washer is washing fine, agitating and all. When it goes to the spin cycle, it drains but the basket doesn't spin. Is this an easy fix?

My washing machine just makes a noise like it's trying to spin, but it doesn't. Is this fixable or should I just buy a new washing machine?
