Most of the time if the water has not drained out completely from the tub the signal to the processor says do not spin. So that drain pump problem would have to be checked. On occasion the motor capacitor also goes faulty which can also not allow a spin condtition. The door limit switch can also be a problem but testing equipment is needed to source the problem.

My kenmore ad 80 series washing machine won't spin

The lid switch is probably out. Bypass it and see if she magically comes to life. Their are 3 wires to the lid switch 2 of which are live wires. Jumper them 2 live wires and see if she runs in spin.

Wm2455hw will not spin

Make sure door mechanism is working at fine. So next is to check whether the motor tumbles both directions.
The spin bearing might be a problem, but normally you'd hear a problem here first. Have you heard any freight trains passing through the house in the spin cycle?
One thing to check for this problem is the spin speed switch. If the spin speed switch is bad then the control won't know how fast to spin, and so it will just not spin at all.
The drain pump must be draining all the water out. If the water doesn't drain out then the pressure switch won't read empty and that might prevent a spin cycle.
I hope this helps.
Please reply with additional details for further assistance.
