Mine drains and pump kicks on. But it doesn’t spin. But if the doors not closed all the way it won’t start at all. Is there a different sensor in this that would cause this problem? Because seem like the door switch works.
I’d say either the motor brushes are worn out or the motor controller is toast👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance it was the wax motor. Got new one in today replaced it and it works now. Thanks for a great video
Thank you. My 15 year old washer started doing this the other day. Was all set to go buy a new one... wife showed me your video. Decided to drop $30 in parts and 30 minutes of time and now washer works fine. Thanks dude, you saved me some bucks.
Excellent , thank you😊
Great video. Thank you for going the extra mile describing an easy fix.
Thanks Marcia😊
Thank you!! I ordered the $15 part but was bracing myself for the possibility of having to pay for a repair or buying a new washing machine. The part came, it was super easy to install, and most importantly the machine works again!!!
Thank you so much! It took me less than 10 minutes to change the door switch by myself. So easy! You saved me from having to call a repairman.
Nice job Rose,
I’m proud of you😊
Thanks so much for putting this up - it has saved me some money (and I am guessing, it has saved a lot of people money too). Thank You! 👍🏽
Thank you very much for your video. Replacing the door switch fixed my problem. My washer wasn't draining and wouldn't enter the final spin. Unfortunately, most of the videos out there suggest cleaning out the coin catcher, so that's what I did first. Wasn't easy... spent a lot of time pulling the machine apart, only to find that my coin catcher wasn't clogged up. Your expertise and video solved my problem and I am very grateful. You saved me a lot of time and money, therefore I sent you a donation out of gratitude. Thanks again!
Awesome, thanks so much Ryan😊😊😊
What the hell did people do before RUclips? I’ve learned to shave, tie a tie change a tire and my taillight as well as cook some pretty bomb ass meals on RUclips and now I just learned how to fix my washing machine!
Very cool👍
I’ve also learned a lot from RUclips like fixing my car
ABSOLUTELY
We got ripped off
Lol. RUclips; the bomb!
Thanks so much for sharing- bought the part and solved the spinning problem!!!!🌈
which part
Thank you so much, was able to fix our washer after watching your video. 👍🏼
Thanks so much Herbert😊👍
Fixed. You’re tops. Thanks
Your video described the problem with my washer. I followed your instructions and now my washer spins again! Streight forward and easy fix! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Ross😊
Mine stopped today .....watched your video, remembered I bought a new switch a couple years ago for a different problem .....just popped it in working great .....thanks! I noticed you didn't show replacing the spring, cause you need 2 people or 4 hands ....lol ...I never replaced it from a couple years ago ......Maybe do another video on just replacing the spring
Thank you so much for posting. I ordered the part and fixed it within 20 minutes. Step by step instructions were awesome!!!
That is Awesome, thanks for your feedback😊👍
What is the part name and model
I think you are about to be THE MAN. What you’ve described is the issue that I’m having with my washer. I just ordered the wax motor from Amazon. Should be here tomorrow.. Thank you very much.
Thanks Dave😊👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance hello good job😊
This just saved me a whole lot of money. Thanks for this! 👍🏽🤗
That’s what I like to hear👍
Wow! Thank you so much! That is it!
So glad it helped👍
thank you very much for post this video
Thanks so much. Had the exact issue. This saved us expensive repair or replacement of our 12 yr old.
Awesome, thank you😊👍
Love these videos. Such a good way to reduce waste.
Thanks so much Dean👍😊
I can’t thank you enough, our family is on very low budget now and I was soo stressed because our machine wasn’t spinning and I changed the locker now and ITS Working yay 🎉🎉 it was very difficult to not be able to was with 3 kids! Thank you endlessly ❤
That is Awesome 😊😊😊
Thank you for the video.
Thank you! What a relief to know what to do without paying a repair man or through if away my washer! Lol
Thanks Benjamin😊👍

Excellent 👍😊
dis you get it fix it?
@@ramiroochoa2009 eso mismo tenia el mio cambie el swith de la puerta y trabaja bien... thanks for the video just save my day..
Thank you so much for the video! I was about to lose my mind!
Thnx !!!
Thanks for this! I didn't think it was the issue as the door actually locked properly and everything seemed to function as expected except it wouldn't do the fast spin. As a hail Mary I ordered the door lock mechanism and replaced it as per your instruction and it worked!! I couldn't believe it! I spent $30 instead of $1000 on a new washer. Thanks again!
That’s what I like to hear😊😊😊
Scott the Fixit Guy you are awesome. I was on the path to pushing my Samsung Front Loader off the back of a trailer at high speed after it left me in a very tight spot with a load of wet clothes and wouldn't spin. I have also been through the Samsung Spider Arm replacement repair and I'm sure you know what a fun task that is. Anyway, your video did the job. Thanks so much for the time you took to disassemble and explain the door lock and wax motor assembly. Thanks also for displaying motor only replacement. You did a better job than AvE on that wax motor tutorial. New Sub here.
😂😂😂 Not the high speed trailer stunt!
Thank you
Very helpful my nephew was shopping for a new one till we saw this. We're going to try it
Fantastic! Good luck😊
Thank you for the guide,
You are very welcome ❤️😊
Good job ,my brother
Worked! Saved me a ton
Awesome,
Thanks Victor😊
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 👍
Just wanted to say thank you, had no spin & followed your instructions, £20 later we have spin once more.
Thank you for your instructions. Now my washing machine is working.
Félicitations de présenter tout ces informations, bravo
Merci Beucoup
Brilliant! Simply brilliant!
Thank you Julie
Hey Thanks Man! Your clear instructions with that soothing voice and then later cross-legged while explaining that damn switch made me relax, lowered my stress level with my problemed washer. ;-) Again Thank you !
I’m so glad it worked 👍😊
Thanks mate 👍🏿
You’re welcome😊
Thanks
Thanks!
Nice job😊
So I have a front-loading Kenmore washer, and the controller board does this resistance test on those door latch contacts. My wax motor worked fine, the fix for me was prying open the door latch switch as you did, and then polishing up those little switch contacts carefully with some fine steel wool. There was a bit of oxidation on the contacts. This got them shiny again. Once the contacts were clean, I reassembled and reinstalled the switch, and the final spin worked again. Just thought I would share this and maybe save people a few bucks before they replace the door switch assembly or the motor.
That could be good tip, Ill try it . Because the infuriating door lock seems to keep me locked out like the worriers intended, so does that mean the wax motor is working ?
thx so much
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks for this video and suggestion as it shows a very different reason for not entering the high speed spin cycle. I have a Frigidaire front loader and the door does lock, it just wasn’t spin fast. The machine is over 10 years old on a vacation home so it has not had much use. Can i just short the wires together or something to bypass the lock sensor???
Thanks for the video. I was a little skeptical that this would fix my spinning problem since the door lock light was on, but it worked!
Thank you Roy,
Many times the light that shows the door is locked will be on even though the circuit that shows that it’s closed has not been activated.
My tube wont rotate at all manually door open
Well done
Thank you
wooooooooow nice i love u your class very nice...... iam from india kerala ,,iam working in dubai i dont know engilsh but i undstant thanksssss
Thanks so much😊
Thank you sir
My machine Bosch and tt doesn't spin dry it just kept turning round! Thank you so much! I will replay it again to see that wire that goes inside round the rubber built. I have learnt how to clean the filter. Now I need to learn to change the switch! You are a life saver!
Yours probably needs new carbon brushes. Pretty easy to do👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance hi there I have a front loading bush washing machine which is barely a year old it washes but when it's time to spin the drum just keeps going round like its trying to spin but wont,I have to turn washer off then rinse clothes by hand.
Any ideas what the problem might be??
Worked, fixed it, thank you very much!
Thanks Kyle😊
Thanks man ! Easy with your help. By the way, Nice dog :)
Thanks so much😊
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance hi , what if the lid works but it wont agitate and spin after the pump working it just won't agitate and i can hear a scratching noise in the motor it trying to agitate but it won't , after awhile it showed an LE Error
Great video. Just got the lid lock. Gonna tackle it now. Female not afraid.
Nice job Marcia😊
Our Whirlpool front load washing machine wouldn't cycle through and sometimes wouldn't even spin. It would cycle on Delicates or Heavy but not on Normal. And on Delicate or Heavy the clothes were still soaking wet. I ordered a door lock switch and it still didn't change. My washer pump filter is only accessible through the back so I removed it and it was caked solid with hair, etc. After cleaning it, it worked better than before. I should have listened to the old saying "don't re-wire the house before you try changing the light bulb" !!
That’s a great saying Mike😂😂
God bless tou
Nice
Thank you
I just subscribed immediately
Thanks so much😊😊
Sorry for my language but getting that boot back over the ridge is a right bastard... thats where im at right now...
Thanks Login,
Can you send me a video of that: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
So, I have the EXACT same washer. Clothes are wet and NO spinning action at all. It DOES "CLICK" and lock and start the cycle; it drains fine during the cycle: In your opinion, could it STILL be the door lock causing the no spin even though it clicks and locks at the beginning?
***update*** Did the switch. VERY easy. Did not solve my particular problem, however.
***update to the update*** I just wasn't patient enough during the testing. Ran a cycle and it worked! Thanks for posting! Very clear directions and an easy fix!
Can you send me an email at scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com so I can give you more detail on the fix?
Thank you so much for the video. I was wondering if my washer does everything when you start it like you said but you can hear the door lock does that mean that you should still replace this part? You can hear the drain motor when you start it and it sounds like the door locks but still no spin. Please help. Thank you
*Update*
So I just took it outside and it was full of water. The drain was clogged. Like you said it was full of water!! I unclogged the drain and now it’s working fine. Thank you so much for your video. I can’t believe that’s all it was.
Nicely done😊
Scoot,
First hanks for all the info you put out there I'm sure you have been a blessing to many.
I just wanted to know your thoughts if this would work for an Frigidaire affinity washer that throws an E59 code.
The washer fills but no agitation or spin very slow draining Cln cycle will not run
Thanks for any thoughts.
Hi Mac,
This should help:
www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/fafw3801lw3-frigidaire-affinity-he-washer-e59-code.68290/
Thankyou sir. Side note. Use spacers to extend the stroke.
Good idea👍
Does this same fix work for LG front load washers that won’t spin fast with heavy load?
The washing machine was washing as usual but started to not do the final spin, out of the blue, instead, it would spin back and forth slowly, and the timer was stuck on 6 minutes for 30+ minutes.
I didn't get to replace the wax motor, but I cleaned its contacts, the the contacts on the prongs below and all contacts - plug and lock assembly. And the washer is now doing the final high speed spin.
Wow,
Nicely done😊😊😊
This is happening to my washer.. how did you clean it?
@@KaoStarrBellydance an old rag, some water and detergent and then you just kinda polish those metal contacts.
Any advice/tips for getting the ‘boot’ back after changing the door lock?
I would put liquid soap on the wire spring clamp and maybe get another set of hands to help.
Fixed Frigidaire Affinity 7000. Would agitate, drain, but no spin. After watching video, took like 5 minutes, and I am not much of a handyman
Nice job Daniel👍
We have a Haier washer/dryer combo hdw1600bw. (I understand that GE supplies the parts?) The PCB and door lock are new. Despite the fact that the test modes run without reporting any issues, the drum does not turn. When I run the spin cycle, it reports error 7. What might cause the brain to think that the drum is turning during testing, but recognize it is not turning in a cycle? Do you think the issue is the motor?
i love your tool box. Can you tell me where to buy one, please. Thank you
Here you are👍 www.b-w-international.com/products/tool-cases/
Help! I have a Candy GrandVita 1400. I think it’s the same problem except one of the brackets in the drum Is loose...looks like the screws have fallen through the holes. But it’s the same issue regarding the spin....should I be looking at a different fixture or go With the instructions on this video?
Excellent video, thank you! I have a front-loading Maytag MHWC7500YW0, which goes properly through all cycles, but goes only into slow spin, never fast, then quits, the load drained but still wet. Is it still the latch, different from the one shown in the video, the motor, or the motor controller? Thanks!
I’d say motor controller 👍
Thank you for the video! Our Whirlpool Duet Sport stopped spinning today-- the drain works and then it makes a high pitched spinning sound that gets really fast, but the drum is not moving whatsoever. Do you think this could be the same type of repair? Thank you!
Hi Katy,
I bet the belt came off.
Can you remove the back cover and check?
Please let me know what you find?
Actually, ignore that, I figured it out--- it was pieces of the shredded belt hanging down. I thought they were electrical wires. Got a new belt ordered, thank you again, you saved me so much time and headache!!!
Great video. Just one problem. What diagnostics did you perform to determine that it was the door lock was the source of the problem??
Hi Gerry,
I took a little bit of a gamble but around 85% of the time it’s the door lock that malfunctions and prevents the front loader from going to spin.
I assumed as well, I came in to look for same issue, which everyone says expensive 'drain pump.' Yet, I got a few more loads by manipulating that door lock sensor. I may disassemble first and try replacing just the motor. Very good review!
Did this happen to actually be your problem? I ask because we just replaced our drain pump and now the machine isn’t spinning.
Hi i wondering where they you buy it?
Thanks for posting the video. How do you know the lid lock was the issue and not something else such as the belt or carbon brushes?
LG's are direct drive, no belts.
@@TippyPuddles I went through the repair and replaced the part. No change. Still no spin. Any ideas what else it could be?
Why would the door lock be the culprit? If the lock didn’t work how would washer. the even start?
@@ATP360 Best question here! You discover it's not spinning at the end of a wash -- and it could only wash it the door lock was working! So we need to be told that the lock breaks down during a wash cycle, not when the machine is not in use. If it broke down when the machine was not in use we wouldn't be able to use the machine at all! Obviously. Does that happen?
I like your tool case is it a raaco or BW I got two Parat cases made in Germany 👍
It’s a B&W International. It’s really strong👍
Hahaha easy to fix with the right part number and the part available, anyway not what I was expecting to see but I get it, it could be worse. My issue could be
Thanks for making this video.
I replaced the switch with the oem replacement part, but unfortunately didn't fix the problem. The washer still fills and drains, and spins slowly, but it does not complete the final full speed spin. When I run a rinse/drain cycle, it get's stuck at 1 minute and never finishes.
I don't think it's the belt because I can't hear anything during the final spin cycle, but do you think it could be the motor controller? I wasn't sure because the machine does spin, it just doesn't do the full speed spin.
Mine is doing this. What ended up being the issue?
@@kyliescookingandcrafts8737 i replaced the motor control board and that fixed it... I think I busted something when I did an extra heavy load of towels
Thanks for your video. It is very useful. Could you pls help us with an idea. We have Hoover VHD148A and it stopped spinning. The display is working. When we press “start” water is taking the powder from the dispenser, filling the washing machine and when it is time to spin there is just a click sound and that’s it. We can turn the drum manually, we checked the belt and it is on its place. Thanks a lot
I think on your Hoover you just need to replace the motor brushes 👍
Thank you 🙏 i will check
I open my blomberg door lock, I saw the Bi-metal contact and a coil relay. it always show "door not lock" on the screen. then I put some solder on the contact to raise it up a little bit to have more contact. it works, but i get a problem, the machine is not filling water and not spining, also can not pause. it start filling little bit water and sound's a agitates for 3 minutes then drain out. I just wonder if something to do with the door contact again because i have open it. there is 4 wire switch 28053110 blomberg door lock, two go to the coil, other two is the door lock.
Can’t find an online source for the wax motor...

Thanks for the info. I tried this but didn't solve the problem: it will rotate slowly but won't spin. Any tips on what my next step should be? Thanks again!
Time to change the motor controller👍
I had the same issue, replacing the drain pump fixed it
Where do I buy one of these doorlocks or waxmotor?
Hello. Your video made the replacement of the door lock look easy. So I ordered one, installed it, and it worked fine for the first wash. Second wash, it didn't do the high speed spin so we re-ran the clothes in just a spin cycle. That worked. Third wash, tried the second step of spin only and it didn't go to high speed spin. Is there another issue going on? Seems odd that it worked fine once.
Nice Ray,
Can you redo the 3 wire connections to your door switch?
You might need a new motor controller 👍
What’s your model number?
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Thanks for responding. Turns out it was a faulty drain motor that had to be replaced. I needed a service call.
How to repair lid switch on a roper washing machine
My piston is not near as long as the one you show. I'm guessing its worn down! thus why its not spinning. Part is ordered. Thank you so much for video!!
Excellent,
Please let us know how it goes👍
Really good video mate!! My washing machine made a really load bang noise while running and now won't spin freely but does turn back and forth slightly while pushing with my hands. Do you think it's the wax motor or something else? I was leaning towards the belt...
Can you take a video of you turning the spin basket by hand and send it to me at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Email sent mate. Cheers
So, the door lock is some ancient design, prone for failures. Keeps washer sellers and repair guys busy.
I replaced the door latch, cleaned out the drain and checked the belt (which seems fine) and my washer still isn’t entering the high speed spin. The only washer repairman in my area can’t come out for months. Any tips?
The lid lock mechanism in our Whirlpool Duet washer has only two electrical connectors not three and neither of the connectors connects to the replacement wax motor is there another location or another wire harness I should attempt to locate?
I think your model just uses the 2 connectors instead of 3.
My washer is making a rapid firing noise from the very start like it’s in fast spin mode. However it’s agitating as it should but no water pushing through the detergent cup holder and still making that loud noise
I have a Sears kenmore elite HE5t I had an F17 code the outer spring was off the door boot seal. Put the spring back on and then had a F25 code after husband completed a short cycle. 2 days later I removed the top, back and front lower panels. Checked the drain to make sure it was not plugged. Attempted a history overview test program. I hear the door lock, the machine fills both cold and hot, the drum rotates, drains however C:08 drum did not rotate counterclockwise from 35 to 90 rpm within 15 sec. The machine did not complete C:09 drum rotates counterclockwise at max speeds. I checked the tachometer resistance it was 115. Any thoughts? I was going to purchase a new doorlock at Dey appliance tomorrow but my gut tells me it might be a new motor and or Motor Control Unit.
Thanks for your advise.
Nice job Ann,,
I would replace the motor control unit.
My front loading Blomberg won't start agitating once the water starts coming into the drum. It won't spin at all if i set the program to spin only. The door does lock when i turn on the machine and won't open until i cancel the program. Does this mean that a broken lock is not the problem and something else is causing it not to spin? Thanks so much for your help.
I wonder if the motor brushes are worn out?
I have a Kenmore elite does not spin but it was saying f06 any advice thanks
Hi Nancy, most likely it needs a new motor control unit👍
Maytag was the first to use wax motors 40 or so years ago
Great info.👍
I have a front loading Whirlpool clothes washer it is around 15 years old the wax motor in that looks to be the white one does the red one work just as well or do I need to track a white one down any information would be most appreciative thank you
Red is great . It’s the updated version .
Question... when I turn the washer on it sounds like the water is going in then draining. That's all it does. Is this the part I need??
Did you manage to fix it with that part? Cuz that's what mine is doing.
Ours is doing the same how do we fix it ?
Guys that's simple you gotta clean out the filter it's clogged
Where is the fillter@@Reff370
Is your washer filling then draining only? Or is it also not spinning?
Hi sir my washer machine has problems with spine .when I put on the spine it show 15 minutes but the time goes stock on the 9 minutes and not going faster spine. It just move the clothes but not spine fast . Do you think it has this part problem as well? Thanks
Could be that it needs a new door lock which is the cheapest solution or it may need a new motor controller which is much more expensive.
Maytag 2000 series front loader has a error code F1E2 and doesn't spin. MCU and motor is $230.00. I don't want to spend that much on a 7yr old washer. You think door lock may fix the issue??
Every cycle works exception of final spin. Changed the wax motor twice (red) changed out from white one, still same problem. Any thoughts why? Would I need a new door/ latch mechanism (with 3 connectors)? I cleaned out boot to the drain pump (there was no plastic cup trap) found two quarters bottom of boot and made sure the entire drain hose was clear. Still didn't help with my problem?
Time for a new motor controller.
Quick and Easy 5 minute Appliance Fixes I appreciate your reply because not many RUclips postings do so. I did purchased a new door switch but still had the same issue. I was thinking control board..there was no burn marks and I did blow away any dust on it. From the motor I removed the belt, placed on spin cycle to hear noises to suggest a bad motor...it sounded okay. I lubricated it. What did sound bad was the drain pump..vibration noise I secured the pump as best I could. Kept the new door latch in...all cycles including final speed spin works. I may need in the future a drain pump since the removal of the quarters showed up a bit bent and scratched up. Maybe the new door switch with combination of other tasks mentioned did the trick.
My Neptune washer show is door locked and I heard clicked. Can it still be the lock problem? How to be sure? It keep pump water out in spin cycle but not go to high speed spin. No error code show.
