    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Does it agitate?  If so it could be the mounting block.Part number: AP6008836

Part number: AP6008836

You can remove the washer case and observe the action of the clutch and brake.  It is possible you have a problem with one of them.  Remove the case and jump the lid switch and put the washer in spin to see what is actually going on.

Get eyes on the drive train. Could be the brake or the clutch. Could also be a bad coupling. Could also br the drive block i linked to.  You really need to open it up and get a look.

Or the neck of the spin tub is rusted out and it is making contact with the outer washtub... a sock between the tubs can also act this way. I agree that the cabinet needs to come off so you can see if the clutch housing is rotating...

Lid switch?

if it agitates motor coupling ok. 

Not necessarily true.  I've seen a cracked coupling work when it agitates but slip and not have enough grip to spin.  Rare but could happen.  He says it sounds like it wants to spin but won't for some reason, hence I don't think lid switch.I Still say you need to get eyes on the drive train to really get to the problem.

Fair enough, but I'd still test lid switch first. It's on top and easy to access.
