Washing Machine Broken - Will Not Spin - Kenmore Whirlpool Roper

There are two main reasons your washing machine will turn on but will not spin or agitate.

Scenario 1: If the washer sits idle when it should be spinning and there is no sound, its likely a broken lid switch. The lid switch is a safety switch that prevents the washing machine from working if the lid is open. When it breaks, it already thinks the lid is open. You can bypass the lid switch using a temporary bypass(video here: ) or you can replace the lid switch which I demonstrate in this video.

Scenario 2: Your washing machine sounds like it is trying to spin but nothing is happening. This issue is likely a broken motor coupling. This part sits between the motor and transmission. This videos shows step by step how to take apart your washing machine to remove and replace this part.
