    If you hearing a buzzing noise it will be a faulty relay (for the water valves) its (12v.DC 10amp Black ones) on the board, I know its happen to me also what I found is the main board in the back had some solder dry joints on it to. Hope will help you all..Michael

Sounds like something is stuck in the drain pump.  If nothing is stuck in the pump replace the pump.  It won't spin until it drains, so fixing the drain problem will fix the spin.  You can get at the drain pump by taking off the bottom panel.

    This was helpful. Is there a way to remove the drain plug on the bottom without water pouring all over my floor?

I have a similar problem in that my spin cycle makes noise and yet doesn't move. Finally after a few more minutes it does spin but very slowly, even though I have the spin cycle on HIGH! Now What?

Kenmore 110-25862400 top load washer motor makes noise and won't spin

Fiirst started with a buzzing noise, then next load wouldn't spin proper, then not at all, unplugged washer to reset, tried a small load and it won't run water now,after running 10 to 15 minut

Take the power plug off the wall. Be prepared for a lot of water before attempting the following. It doesn't spin because the unit is not draining water. It will not spin with water in it - must drain first. Check drain hose for kink,check exit pipe for blockage. Remove the front access panel, bottom front; if you find a pipe there with a cap -this is for draining water. Could be your "coin trap assembly" is blocked, therefore not allowing all the water to pump out. Remove the clamp that connects the trap assembly to the pump and clean it out.
If helped, pl say so.

MY WASHER WILL NOT SPIN. iT MAKES A LOUD BUZZING

Sounds like a broken motor coupler for sure, the motor shaft will still spin the drain pump, but drive between the motor and transmission is lost. Part# 285753A. Have fun. If you need breakdown info let me know.

Buzzing - will not spin or drain water

This noise is probably the pump trying to start but will most likely be obstructed.Drain the machine manually by lowering the drain hose into a bucket or bowl and then remove blockage.
