Washer Won’t Spin or Agitate Troubleshooting

Washer Won’t Spin or Agitate?

Don’t panic — this is one of the most common washer issues, and it’s usually simple to fix.

When your top-load washer fills with water but won’t spin or agitate, it’s typically due to a problem with the drive system — like a worn motor coupler, faulty lid switch, or stripped agitator dogs. These parts can be replaced easily with basic hand tools.

Before replacing any parts, unplug your washer and enter your appliance’s model number in the search box above to view all compatible components and diagrams.

Common Causes

  • Broken or worn motor coupling between motor and transmission
  • Faulty lid switch not engaging the safety circuit
  • Worn agitator dogs causing free-spinning agitator
  • Drive belt loose, broken, or off pulley
  • Drain obstruction or imbalance sensor issue

How to Diagnose It

  • If you hear the motor running but the basket doesn’t move, the motor coupling may be worn out.
  • If nothing happens at all, test the lid switch with a multimeter for continuity.
  • If the agitator spins freely in both directions, replace the agitator dogs kit.

Quick DIY Steps

  1. Unplug the washer and pull it away from the wall.
  2. Remove the control console and release the cabinet clips.
  3. Access the motor area underneath and inspect the coupling or belt for damage.
  4. Replace any broken components and reassemble the unit.
  5. Run a short cycle to test the repair before resuming normal use.

Tools you may need: 1/4" nut driver, flat-blade screwdriver, pliers, and gloves.
