Most likely the washing machine is stuck in Hold mode. Check if you have the spin speed knob at the correct setting.

Same problem (but without any smell). You should try to reset the two computer boards in the washer. You do this by 1) unplugging machine and wait for 30 secs; 2) plug in machine; and 3) open and fully close the lid at least 5 times. This resets computer boards, which can get messed up by power surges, etc.

SOURCE: washing machine won't rinse or spin

sounds as if you have a faulty lid switch, for safety reasons if the machine doesnt think the lid is closed it willnot spin/drain the waer out.

SOURCE: Replace Timer Assembly on GE WJRR1470E1WW Washing Machine

Servicing the Timer
Most washing machine timers are digital or mechanical. The timer controls most of the operations of the washer: water level, tub filling and emptying, length of cycles, and cycle setting sequences. For this reason, any repairs to the timer should be made by a professional service person. However, there are a couple of checks you can make when you suspect the timer is faulty -- you may be able to install a new timer yourself.

Step 1: Unplug the washer. To access the timer, remove the control knobs and the panel that covers the controls. This may be a front panel, or access may be through a panel at the back of the unit. Carefully examine the wires that connect the timer to the other parts of the washer. If the wires are loose or disconnected, try pushing them into position; they usually fit into their terminals like plugs. Use long-nosed pliers to avoid breaking the wire connections -- never pull a wire by hand.

Step 2: To test the timer, use a VOM set to the RX1 scale. Disconnect the power leads to the timer and clip one probe of the VOM to each lead. The VOM should read zero if the timer is working. Since the timer is a multiple switch, turn it through its cycle and test each pair of terminals in turn. The meter should read zero at all of these points. If one or more readings are above zero, the timer is faulty and should be replaced.

Step 3: To replace the timer, unscrew and disconnect the old one. Install a new timer made specifically for the washing machine. If there are many wires on the timer, have a helper hold the new timer next to the old one as you work. Disconnect the old wires one at a time, connecting each corresponding new wire as you work, to make sure the connections are properly made. Or, draw a diagram showing the connections before removing the old timer. After all the wires are connected, check the connections again for correctness and screw the timer assembly into place.

In the next section, we will examine two of the most crucial elements of a washing machine -- the water inlet valves and the agitator.

My Electrolux EWF 1074 wont spin I have voltage at the motor but no go

If you have been able to check the motor with an external supply and found that it was working , then perhaps the control board has to be checked. Please test the motor, if it runs freely perhaps the drive is stuck , check the spindle assembly , could be jammed or the bearings could be faulty

Elecrolux EWF 1020

If it gets louder the faster it spins its more than likely the drum bearings, if its a constant noise starting when the machine is emptying it could be the pump or something stuck in the pump,If so check in the filter for hair clips etc.

Electrolux washer playing up!

Remove the top panel, there should only be 2 or 3 screws on the back of the panel, then slide the top panel back about 1/4 inch and it should lift off. Look to see if the belt has come off. Post your results back.

Electrolux EWF 1495, Starts but dosent wash. Drum turns about twice then stops for a couple of minutes, turns then stops. It then indicates cycle ended but didnt rinse, spin or drain or spin. These can be...

OK, first remove the rear access panel. You will see a drain boot going from the tub to the pump. You will need to remove that boot and inside is a filter that you need to clean out. Reassemble and run a load and let me know what happens.
