Why Will My Washer Not Spin?
A washer that will not spin often has not drained, has not locked, or is unbalanced. Those three checks come before motor or belt parts. A drain pump blocked by a small item, a lid that does not latch, or one heavy blanket can each stop a spin cycle.
Drain first
If water stays in the drum, the washer will not spin. Check the drain hose for kinks and the pump filter for debris where your model allows access.
Lock and balance
Front-load doors and top-load lids must latch. A single heavy item can also stop spin, so redistribute the load and try again.
Belt and motor next
If drain, lock, and balance are clear, belt, motor, or control parts are next. Those need a technician and a meter, not guesswork.
Cost fear, answered straight
Social posts about washer repairs often ask the same thing: how much, because money is tight. We diagnose first and give an upfront price, so you can decide before any work starts.
