My washing machine will not drain or spin, agitates fine.

Hi, so recently my washing machine stopped draining and spinning. I know the motor works fine, as it agitates fine, also the lid switch works fine. When it hits the spin/drain cycle it will just click.

It's a belt driven setup, belt checks out fine, I'm leaning towards a pump, as it will gravity drain when unplugged, but I'm not sure how to test it, and I don't want to just start throwing parts at it.

Thanks in advance!

I need help!! I have a Haier Rwt350aw (top loader, belt driven) It agitates and drains (most of time) and spins sometimes. At first, it was making a weird noise. I ended up changing the drain pump (propeller came loose) It drained and worked for a tiny bit an then would stop at the spin cycle (no spinning) and stay there. I change the computer (for lack of a better word) and still nothing. The motor works fine. I'm starting to think it may be the clutch (i can usually fix things but this has thrown me for a loop) I leave it uplugged and it will work sometimes once i plug it back in. I've spent a bit of money on this machine and it still doesnt work. AHHHH!!!!

I have a GE washer, top load. has always worked great (almost 20 years) and looks brand new. Last week started making a very weird noise during rinse. Noise stopped during spin and wash was fine. Yesterday, PROBLEM. It filled up and agitated fine. But would not drain or spin. When I moved dial to the rinse cycle, it agitated some more (but still with wash water). I couldn't do anything with it, messing with dial and stuff so I had to shut it off. My clothes are still in there and so is all the water! No draining at all!

First empty it with what even you can check the pump if not clogged and check the clucth! I am sure by now you most have done something but let us know what was the problem!

The common issue with won't spin and won't drain is the lid switch. That's what I would go for first.

Here's the service manual on your machine: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/895199/...

Most Frequent Causes for Washer won't drain

Cause 1

Drain Pump

Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.

Cause 2

Clogged Pump or Hose

Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions.

Cause 3

Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not drain. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Cause 2

Motor Coupling

The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

Cause 3

Drive Belt

Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.

take out the pump and unsnap one side to open up then make sure the small pump propeller did not come off the motor spindle ...if so reattach with a small amount of super clue( use gel type)...wait for it to dry...check that it spins without coming off then resnap back together and put pump back on unit...should drain just fine...:)

Very useful answer ! In my case it was only the lid switch. It was still working but for some reason the pin on the lid needs to go deeper to activate it ?!? I could ear the click of the switch by inserting a screw driver deeper in the switch hole while closing the lid did not. Fixing a small piece of hard plastic tubing on the lid pin to make it longer fixed it (at least for now...).

Just for me to know, if I still have some issues with the switch, can I just bypass it by making a direct connection between the 2 wires on the switch in the meantime I replace it or does the switch has a specific resistor or something else in it to prevent this ?

An other question I had while troubleshooting my machine: what would you recommend to empty the water from the washer if a more major repair is needed ? Thanks !

Had the same issue on my GE washer/dryer stack-able. Water would not drain. LID would lock on the Rinse option, so that took the lid switch out of the equation. Got the washer to “Agitate” on Heavy cycle so that took the motor out of the equation. Must be the Drain Pump. Remove the panel right below the switches, I had to use a square bit. There should be a service guide in there on how to remove the bottom panel to expose the motor and water pump. Once you do that, run the drain hose out through the front of the unit to drain water into buckets, if you’re on balcony like me, even better. Some might have to pan the water out of the unit manually. Once you get most of the water out, remove the bolts holding the pump down. Grab a big bowl and remove the hose clamp from the water pump with channel locks. The rest of the water will drain out of the washer at this time. Disassemble the pump; 4 screws to disassemble my pump Remove debris and inspect pump assembly for damage. Usually none. Reassemble. Make sure to replace any zip ties you destroyed in the process, they’re there for a reason.
