Hello there:
i will have to do this in two posts ok so here is the first part
Many
washers use a small, relatively inexpensive
motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of
the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time,
the coupler wears out and fails. you need to completely
replace it.
Belts
Many
washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly
worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer.
(Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics
not found in automotive belts.)
Clutch
may use a clutch for agitating the
clothes. As the clutch wears out, If the clutch is worn, you need to replace it.
Drive motor
Many brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in
one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a
motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the
other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.
Drive pulleys
The motor or transmission drive pulley may be worn and unable to turn the drive belt. If so, replace the pulley.
Transmission
The transmission could have either of these problems:
transmission with an
electro-mechanical shifter. If the shifter becomes even partially
defective, the unit may not agitate properly or at all.
The transmission may have a worn or broken gear, or some other internal problem.
The
inside of the agitator--where the transmission shaft attaches--can
become worn, and strip out the spline that allows the agitator to
properly grip the shaft. properly. If this
happens, you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission
spline.

During moving my washer was flipped upside down to be carried up steps. it worked just fine when we loaded it in the truck before moving. now it will not spin and the rubber gasket around the door is twisted. The belt is intact and the washer runs and drains but does not spin. What could it be?
Hi,
