My hotpoint washer wont agitate spin or drain. it makes a clunking noise when you try to change the cycles manually

SOURCE: washer will not spin

normally i would suggest changing motor carbons for hotpoint washers, but my experience is that the WMA motor armature is weaker than the carbons, normally if there is no connection fault a replacement motor is the answer 9 times out of 10, not a job for the amature

SOURCE: fills washes rinses but wont spin properly or empty out

its likely the pump is blocked (hence the humming) with a coin or some foreign object. To check, lower the outlet hose to ground level to allow the water to empty. Tip machine back & lean against a wall, remove the pump & remove object if there is one! Reassemble & try machine again

it will be to do with the pressure switch it may be faulty, but more often than not there is a blockage in the pressure chamber which is located at the bottom of the outer drum, check the chamber and the tube that goes up to the pressure switch to see if they are blocked if they are clear of obstruction then test the pressure switch,to do this unclip the pressure switch from the side of the machine but dont take the wires off once off pull the tube off that goes down to the pressure chamber once off blow in to the nossle on the pressure switch, you should hear it click and then when you release it should click again, if it doet click twice then that is your problem, hope that helps.

SOURCE: Agitator Not Working

My Hotpoint VBXR1090B top loading washing machine quit spinning during the rinse cycle and also quit agitating. The water filled up and drained just fine --no leaks.
Here's how I fixed it in 5-minutes.
Tools: 

1. Putty knife
2. Nut driver - I used a multi-purpose screwdriver without any heads attached.

1. Unplug washer from the electrical outlet for safety
2. Release two spring clips holding the front panel on: Insert a putty knife 5" in from the side between the top and the front panel. Pull the front panel forwards.
3. Unscrew 2 screws holding the top down.
4. Lift top - it's somewhat hinged in the rear with three tabs inserted in control panel.
5. The little red tab at the end of the lid switch should be between the lip of the opening and the top; not sitting on top of the lip as mine was.  It's thin enough steel to push it with your bare hands.
6. Make sure when the lid closes it actually causes the switch to turn on. You should hear a click.
7. Put everthing back together. Plug washer back in. Put your tools away.
8. Voilà. Done. Easy.  Even a woman or a ****** could do it.

Try unplugging the unit and plug it back in. This may reset the controls.
