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?

My front loader washer gets stuck on its last spin and wont drain properly. I am trying to wash a comforter and blanket. This is the 1st time its happened. Thank you

You may to mention the brand and model of machine. Mine is an Lg, I just shut off machine. Turn it back on and then press the no spin and start, this drains the washer. You may have too much clothes in the machine.

Washer won't drain or spin

top loader ??? or front loader??? if top loader you have broken your lid switch, will fill, agitate, but when it comes to drain/spin for safety reasons if the unit doent recognize the lid closed it will not advance...if yo have a front loader then i would suspect that something has gotten into the pump assy and preventing drainiing of water therefore will not spin

Washer will fill, drain, and run a complete cycle but will not agitate or spin

sounds like the motor control board is bad. you could test the motor to see if it ohms out ok, the diagram has the readings. The diagram should be on the side panel (inside the cabinet) on the lt side in a brown envelope.
