Try Maytag or Whirlpool

Possibly the lid switch. It won't spin if it doesn't know the lid is closed. Some washers won't agitate with the lid open either, so let it fill until it starts agitating, then lift the lid. If the washer stops you know you've got a good lid switch. If it keeps going you know you need to test the lid switch. Just hearing if it clicks or not is not always a sign it's good. Some Maytag/ Admiral washer lid switches have more than one contact that must close to spin.
It could also be a problem with the timer. Put it in the spin cycle where you know it should be spinning. Make sure the lid is closed. Grab the timer knob and try wiggling the timer shaft up and down and around without turning the knob. If it starts and stops you've got a bad timer. You may still have a bad timer if nothing happens, but you'd have to check it with a meter.

called a repair person.

Try holding the start button in for 5 seconds, this will reset the circuit board. It worked for me.

Possibly the powder. Try filling the machine first with water and power, mix well and then add the clothes? Putting powder onto dry clothes in the machine may be causing localised bleaching.

Kink in the cold water pipe or the cold water tap on the connector is not fully open see if the lever is in line with the pipe not sticking out sideways,

yes you need to source new shock absorber arms and fit them i would replace both usually quite cheep

Just enough water to cover the clothes. As the clothes get wet, they will settle. The least amount of water needed to do the job will also save the amount of expensive laundry detergent. So regardless of the wash size setting, watch it and go to the next part of the cycle manually to avoid more water, and hence, more detergent needed. Only put enough detergent to make the water slippery, and no more. You can tell this by simply feeling the water and rubbing your thumb and fingers together.

Ours did this and it was because the bearings had busted. I called a local repair guy and he told me over the phone just by listening to the sound. Maybe you could do the same. I do know this, if it is your bearings, buy a new washer. It's not worth the repair...trust me.

Hi

First make sure that nothing is blocking the drain pump assembly located inside the bottom of the unit, after this test the lid switch assembly, you jump it to test it. If the lid switch is also fine then the control board should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.
