Whirlpool washer humming!

Blocked filter/pump probably,,,won't spin unless water been emptied out

The limit switch that detects that the lid is closed is probably defective. You've already probably experienced how the agitator would stop if the lid was opened when the machine was working properly--same thing.

Hi,

If you are neither spinning nor agitating and you can hear the motor running (humming or buzzing) the the problem is with the coupling. See the first link below to repair.

If the motor does not run, only fills, no drain, no buzz no hum then the problem is most likely with the lid switch, see the second link.There is video near the bottom of that page showing how to replace it. Let me know if this helps.

Coupling

Lid Switch

bad points in timer or bad motor take the motor out and to a used washer shop and see if they will test it for you for a small fee if it tests ok get a timer

this sound i think come from motor so since there is no rotation the belt need to fit again or replaced by agood one,

Lid switch. Push down on lid.

i would make sure the water valves are turned on, the first thing the washer wants to do is fill. the humming noise is probably the inlet valves opening.

No belt on your machine. Sounds like motor coupler that joins motor and transmission is broken. Very inexpensive part but a few steps involved in getting machine disassembled Look up YouTube video on replacing motor coupler on Whirlpool washer.

check to see if the water is turned on? do you hear a light buzzing or humm noise?
