Causes
Explanation
Motor Coupling
If the washer won't spin the motor coupling might have
failed. The motor coupling connects the motor to the
washer transmission. It is designed to fail if the washer is
overloaded in order to protect both the motor and
transmission.
Drive Belt（V-BELT）
If the washer won't spin, check the drive belt. If the belt is
broken or if it isn't tight on the pulleys the washer won't
spin properly.
Clutch
The clutch assembly makes the connection between the
transmission and the inner tub. As the clutch wears out it
may prevent the tub from spinning. The clutch is not
repairable, if it is loud or not working properly it will need
to be replaced.
Motor capacitor
The assembly of electric capacitor is mainly used to start
motor and control the motor rotation direction. If the
motor capacitor is defective the washer may not work at
all or function properly.
Drive Motor
This is not common. Check all of the other related parts to
this symptom before replacing the motor. If the motor is
visibly burned out or physically damaged it will have to be
replaced.
Main Control
Board(PCB)
If the washer won't spin the PCB also might be defective.
The motor control board provides power to the motor as
well as direction and force. If the motor control board is
defective the washer may not work at all or function
properly.
