If that is the old belt driven modle I would check the lid switch. If it is bad then no power will get to the wig-wag and the transmission will not be shifted. If the switch is fine check for corrosion on the shift pins or an open wigwag coil. The wig wag has 4 wires. 2 white wires that are common AND 2 other wires for wash and spin. A neat trick is to swap the 2 control wires and see if it washes in spin and spins in wash. That way you can determine if the wig wag coil is bad.
If the washer is a newer model without a belt I would say your lid switch is bad.

Kenmore 80 series will spin when draining, but not agitate or spin during spin cycle.

Hello. I'm a little confused at the description of the problem. You indicated it, "will not agitate during wash cycle or spin during the spin cycle." But later in your description you indicated, "It will however, drain and spin after wash cycle and during the rinse cycle." I'm not sure if you description was an error but it sounds like you will need to replace the coupling which is part number 285753A.

Sometimes the switch goes out (that little thing you held your finger on to keep it running). That's ~$20 to fix. If the washer runs, fills with water and won't spin once it reaches the spin cycle you probably need a new motor.

First thought is that the cycles are off.we have the same problem with ours right now. That slow spin speed concerns me. The motor could be going bad. If this washer is 10-12 years old, you may want to look at replacing it. Does the machine ever start agitating before it finishes filling. If so, the cycle mechanism is going bad. This has a whole host of potential problems. Ave a rep look at it. He can narrow it down quickly.

Whirpool lsq9244eqo fills and drains but does not spin or agitate

It sounds like the agitator gripping teeth are worn out. To check this, take the agitator cap off with a strong knife or flat-head screw driver, pull the cap off and check the plastice teeth and four plastic hooks that grab the teeth. If they are worn out, then you will have to replace the agitator. To replace it, you will see a nut that is between the circlular teeth. Unscrew the nut and pull the agitator up hard.
