I can hear it running but it is not spinning at all! I know if I lift the top it will stop spinning, but this is not the problem. It is not spinning with the top down. The clothes are dripping wet! HELP!
Open the lid and take the top off the wringer by holding the bottom and spin the top like your taking a nut off .inside is a clutch that just pops out it is caused by overloading the machine
SOURCE: dripping wet clothes
will be an UNBalanced load, maybe there was not enough clothes in the load so in that case the drum would not be able to distribute the load evenly so gave up on the spin, hence wet stuff!
SOURCE: whirlpool washing - clothes are still dripping wet at end of wash
Hello, sounds like you have a problem with your clutch assembly, tilt the machine back and access it from underneath..if you see oil at the base next to the motor this means your transmission is going bad and the oil has got into the clutch assembly..If this is the case you may as well go buy a new washer now since it is really expensive to replace the clutch and transmission. If however you don't see any evidence of oil underneath your going to need to replace the clutch assembly. If you have mechanical experiance by all means try yourself...if no experiance get a tech in to do it :) thanks for using fixya! Mike
