Agitates but does not spin at all (does drain)

Check the lid switch assembly: If the lid switch assembly is defective, the washer will not spin. To test the lid switch for continuity, use a multimeter. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it. Inspect the drive belt: If the drive belt is broken or loose, the washer will not spin. Inspect the drive belt for signs of wear or damage. If the belt is damaged, replace it. Examine the motor coupling: The motor coupling connects the motor to the transmission. If it is broken, the washer will not spin. Inspect the motor coupling for signs of wear or damage. If it is damaged, replace it. Check the clutch assembly: The clutch assembly engages and disengages the transmission with the tub during the spin cycle. If it is worn or damaged, it may prevent the washer from spinning. Inspect the clutch assembly for signs of wear or damage and replace it if necessary. If these troubleshooting steps do not lead to resolution, you may have to resort to a professional repair service.

I have a Magic Chef portable washer model # MCSTCw16W2 that has recently stopped pumping. Will pump water one cycle and not the next. Can hear the pump 'click' on then slight hum but no action.

You have a fault with the pump if there is nothing jamming it then the pump needs replace

Where is the lid switch located on a magic chef mini washing machine?

If it’s not visible, it’s probably hinge activated.

Magic Chef Washer shut off and won't turn back on. The load may have been too heavy for it. Not sure how to fix it. I turned the breaker on and off, unplugged and replugged it back in.

Unplug your machine again. Remove items from washer ringing out items as you do so. I am thinking that your machine has jammed up at the bottom of agitator, and nothing can move because of this. Now if you don't have an agitator then you may have a reset button somewhere on machine. Good Luck Friend.

Magic Chef 2.1 cu. ft top load Portable washer Model # MCSTCW21W2 won't drain or spin.

Washer will not drain: Thedrain water pumpis the main part in your washing machine that pumps out the water. If this is defective or has failed in any way, this will be the reason why your washer will not drain the water. Before you order a new drain pump, make sure tocheck the pump to be sure a small object like clothing or similar has not lodged itself insideof it causing the NO DRAIN issue and even a no spin issue?. If the drain pump is not clogged, you can test it with a multimeter and remove and replace if needed. Read more:http://removeandreplace.com/2014/10/30/fix-washing-machine-that-wont-drain-washer-not-draining-water/#ixzz3X2LbXMWJ The washing machinedrain hoseis where the water flows through to get the water out.If this drain hose is blocked, kinked, bent, or clogged, the washer will NOT be able to remove the waterfrom the tub. Check the drain hose to be sure it allows the water to flow freely. You can take the drain hose off and run water through it in your sink to be sure it is not blocked. If there is water STILL in the washer when you remove the drain hose, grab a bucket as the water will exit from where you disconnected it Thewater pump belt(to drain out the water) may have broke or become frayed or loose.If this belt breaks then it is unable to drain and remove the water from your washer. Inspect the belt to see if this is causing theNO DRAINissue and remove and replace if needed. If thelid switchis not working as required it will cause your washer to not drain (and many other problems).This may be unlikely as a bad lid switch will usually cause your washer to alsonot agitate or spin.However on some models this can vary. The best thing to do if you have a suspected bad lid switch is to test it. It can fail electrically and or mechanically. If mechanical failure is the issue, you should be able to see if it is cracked, broken, or not in place to make contact with the lid. To test it electrically, use a multimeter set on Ohms and test it for continuityMy advice is free cuz God is good! WASHER WILL NOT RINSE: If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle, the most likely cause is the water valve. What happens is the water valve will stop letting cold water into the washer; therefore, once the washer gets to rinse it will either stop or not do anything during the whole rinse cycle. This is because when you selected your water temperature, you may have selected warm/cold or hot/cold. The hot water came in and you didn't notice any problems. When it got to rinse, the cold water the cold water won't come in. Therefore, the washer does nothing. The item to check would be your water inlet valve. Check it for continuity with a multi meter it should show Ohms or a closed circuit. To test it when water is overflowing unplug the unit and see if it still overflows or continues to fill. If it stops when unplugged. Then it is not a water inlet problem but an electrical signal problem going to ur water inlet valve. Possibly from the panel or board. You can also do a live volt test to see if it is getting the full 120 current, but be sure to unplug unit before testing as this is a live test. Another test u can do to check the water inlet valve, first cut the water off and remove the hoses off the back of the washer. Then one at a time point the hoses inside the washer tub and turn the water back on. If you don't have good water pressure, turn the water back off and remove the strainer that should be in one end of the hose. Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed.

Inspect the strainer to see if it is stopped up, clean it and reinstall it. Now repeat this test. If you have good water pressure now, reinstall hose and your problem is fixed. If you still don't have good water pressure, the problem is in your house plumbing and you need to call a plumber. If you had good water pressure the first time you performed the test, the water valve is bad and needs replacing. If you still don't have good water pressure, the problem is in your house plumbing and you need to call a plumber. If you had good water pressure the first time you performed the test, the water valve is bad and needs replacing. TIMER If your washer doesn't go through the washer rinse cycle the timer may be the problem. Sometimes the timer gets stuck in the middle of the cycle or won't turn at all. If the washer runs, but the timer doesn't turn, the timer is bad and needs replacing. Do you have anti-flood hoses leading to the machine. If you do there is probably a loose tube in the back causing a small leak. When the hoses detect that water is still flowing after a certain amount of time due to the leak it shuts down and causes the machine to turn off during the rinse/spin cycle By the way my advice is free cuz God is good!
