This really works! My washer was no longer spinning. I was looking at calling a repairman which would have cost $119 diagnostic fee for just coming out or buying a new washer. I was dealing with this no spinning for months. I tried this without taking off the cover and it worked. I did the entire process the 1st time and her the spinner trying to agitate. So, I did the process again. I saw more movement with the spinner. So, the 3rd time, it worked and it spun at full speed. This entire process took less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much for loading this video. Save me $$$$.
I can't believe it, but it actually worked!!!!!!!!! I did it as my last ditch effort, not actually thinking it was going to work. I wish I recorded my reaction when this hack fixed my washing machine!!!
Dude! Your video saved me a new dryer! I was about to give up after checking belt, clutch, capacitor, etc. All I needed was to reset the motor! Who would have thunk it! Now my dryer is back to spinning!
OMG!! I have this exact same washer and with the exact same problem. Thanks to you a million times for posting this informative video. I was about to call a repair man and buy an expensive part. It WORKS!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
This is amazing. Had the same issue on my Speed Queen. I did this and it worked. My machine is only 4 years old. I was about to go buy a new LG machine. Thank you so much.
Hey J Robling, Noah here from Texas. words cannot express how grateful I am with your video. You have just saved us so much time and money. After watching your video, i did what you said .... AND IT WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO
This did work! Had to wait about 3 minutes after the reset for it to start draining. Then it wouldn't spin, so rebalanced load and now it's spinning away! Thank you so much for this great tip!
i’m about to try this on my whirlpool washer. it’s doing the exact same thing. agitating but not spinning, i’ve been having to wring them out by hand feeling like i’m in the pioneer days. there are 5 of us and i’m already broke broke so begging the universe to let this be it! -i tried it and it didn’t work, but i twisted the drum around and now it’s spinning 😊
Yes this works I didn't believe it. Our washer was not working great since we bought it. My wife told me we could only run light loads. Did what you said unfreaking believable !!! It work as women, its 7 years old and running better than new. Ever since there was an unbalance it has been running slow. You're the MAN!!!! The repairman wanted 1500.00 for a repair
Best video ever. I have watched a number of videos on this problem. All of them led me to believe that fixing this problem was likely out of my skill set and would involve buying a part (consider who's hosting video...an appliance part company?). This is the only video I saw that suggested a reset. It worked! Also very entertaining! Thank you!
Thanks brother for the information about this washer. I had the same problem where it agitated the water but would not spin dry. This saved me a service call!
you sir are a true man of genius tonight in the high desert of california i will lift my beer and toast mr. j robling because this worked on my maytag legacy series washer thats at least 15 years old. i dodged a bullet here thank you and cheers!!
I have a hot point. My washer stopped spinning as well. I did this and it worked! I still can’t believe it. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 months now! Thanks!!!!
Thanks for your help. I'm so happy I came across your video. I almost had to call the technician but your video save me from doing so. Very informative. 🥰
Had a similar problem but on older model, and my solution was different; the transmission was simply bound up. The fix was just massaging all the various bits and pieces, tapping everything with a hammer, prying up and down on the pulley, checking belts, checking bottom key bits, then manipulating the entire transmission with a set of channel locks. Then it only wanted to spin after I filled the tub back up with water halfway (riddle me that, I have no idea). It's working again now, fingers crossed...
well I have a double break down here. washer was working fine last week. went to do a load today and I adjusted the water level, the damn knob was really hard to turn. yep it snapped off in my hand. tried to turn it with needle nose and thats a no go. machine is stuck in the lowest water mode, so I did a small load and wouldn't you know it.... the damn thing would not spin now either. just ordered the new water level switch and I will try this spin fix when I get it washing again next week.
Thank you for uploading. I wish I had watched this before I took the washer apart. Now there is a bag of spare screws I'm going to just put inside the washer in case I need them later.
I really hope this works. I put in my laundry and followed your instructions. I am so strapped because of Covid, my job cutting my hours and never having enough hours to actually cover my budget, so if this works I will take you out for a big dinner on me!
Mine will spin once it finishes the rinse cycle and starts to pour water out but then stops spinning and makes a noise until it finishes. If I put it on spin cycle only it will spin clothes without a problem. Why is it doing that? There's no water inside left but the clothes feel wet, no soaked but not like it does after a normal spinning cycle.
Did it didn't work but did see the belt almost ripping out. Randomly spins whenever she wants to. Is the motor is bad? Well first i gotta change the belt obviously but the rest the timer makes click commanding to cycle and won't cycle. Lol 😆 now i even set on start to fill the water now doesn't 😑
It’s actually a really nice washer considering u can’t buy that kind anymore….they only sell high efficiency machines now that have tiny little motors on them and last at most 5 years before they’re shot….the one u have can be rebuilt in an hour for less then $200 and will run for another 20 years with minimal issues….id rather have the old piece of junk then any of these new scams they sell now
My old Whirlpool , 22 years old, finally stopped running. Determined it need lid. switch @$6.50 and put in. Working again. Hope it keeps on running for a number of years to come. The new machines do not seen to have the longevity of the older washers. Too many bells and whistles .

I normally don't leave comments, but this was a god send on fathers day. It saved me a long day of appliance repair/shopping. Thanks!
Leaving a like for the “that’s what she said.” 🤣😂
I’ll try this tomorrow for my GE. Thanks!
I can't believe it, but it actually worked!!!!!!!!! I did it as my last ditch effort, not actually thinking it was going to work. I wish I recorded my reaction when this hack fixed my washing machine!!!
I can’t believe that worked! Not all heroes wear capes. You are the man!!
Dude! Your video saved me a new dryer! I was about to give up after checking belt, clutch, capacitor, etc. All I needed was to reset the motor! Who would have thunk it! Now my dryer is back to spinning!
Life saver! Was just about to spend my new stimulus money on a new washer..... You saved the day! It worked!!!
I know this was posted 3 years ago but IT WORKED AND THANK YOU
OMG!! I have this exact same washer and with the exact same problem. Thanks to you a million times for posting this informative video. I was about to call a repair man and buy an expensive part. It WORKS!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Hate it when you get an unbalanced load
This is amazing. Had the same issue on my Speed Queen. I did this and it worked. My machine is only 4 years old. I was about to go buy a new LG machine. Thank you so much.

How did you rebalence load
I came back here to tell you that it worked on our Sharp washer/dryer. I’m glad I tried this first. Thank you so much.
did you press the start before you do the open and close of the washing machine cover?

It’s crazy that this just fixed my Maytag. Thank you!!!! I was about to spend $2000 to get a whole new set.
and your video when you pull down to the front panel can you show how to pull down the outer driver drum please on the GE washer??
I'm gonna try this on my Amana. I don't know if they are the same, but thanks for the share,
That totally worked for my 6 year old GE washer. Thank you a million times over
I have a hot point. My washer stopped spinning as well. I did this and it worked! I still can’t believe it. I’ve been dealing with this for 2 months now! Thanks!!!!
Um just did this on my Ge washer....worked...the reset. ...thank you so much!
I found your precise, step-by-step instructions to be fantastic.
Thanks so much for this video. It saved me tons of time and frustration. Also, a service call charging $125 or more was saved.
Thanks for your help. I'm so happy I came across your video. I almost had to call the technician but your video save me from doing so. Very informative. 🥰
Holy moly this worked on my front-load Kenmore Elite. Thank you so much for saving me $$$

Bruh this totally worked on my magic Chef washing machine ❤❤❤ freaking love you
Worked like a charm on my friend’s GE
Wow, can't believe it worked. Awesome. Thanks for posting video.
He said " That's what she said." Lol
I'm x'g my fingers rn. I have repair man scheduled to come out tomorrow. Hoping I can cancel.
Thanx I was in total panic mode. Ours is fairly new and if she came home and I had to tell her this news..lol. It would not have been pretty!
What a blessing you are! 🙌🏽 Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!! It worked on my Hotpoint. 👌🏽👌🏽
Omg this actually worked on my GE. Thank you!
What the ? 😅 this actually worked ... marry me, lol 😆 handy-dandy man. Thanks Josh
Opening/closing lid 6x after 1min unplugging worked yay😊
Now I can finally go to bed. I know it sounds silly but this is a big deal.
Thank you for uploading this video. It had exactly the piece of information needed to fix this problem.
Thank You Thank You Thank You. I am so happy to know this magic spell.
It worked like a charm.
No way!!! Lmao thanks so much bro I was going crazy trying to find the solution!
wow that did work very easy THANK YOU
Yes GE makes hotpoint,
"I know, it's way too big, that's what she said." - worth watching this video just to hear that.
Thank you!! It is spinning!! I owe you dinner.
Does it have to be set on anything like spin or such when you do the lift lid 6 times?
Mine was set to off. not sure if it matters but it worked for me
@@JRobling thanks I’ll try again
@@JRobling Do you Have to remove the front panel first for this to work?
I have an old 2 belt Maytag washer. Is the machine supposed to agitate in rinse mode? Thanks
Bro I could hug you man…. I was losing my mind.
Holy Crap! It worked! Thx a million!!!!!!
Great hands lol they deserve a Grammy
This worked, thank you!
Update: Didnt work for me either My kenmore is doing this currently. I cannot believe this will work. I will try it. I feel like it's a set up tho.
Thanks for the video! 👍
Very nice video thanks!!
I am LMAO, dude you vid FIXED my washer. THANK YOU!!!
You are my hero!!!!! Solved the problem
Wow can't believe it really work now my washing machine it spinning
Omg thank you thank you thank you 🙏
I did all of that and in my case it might be the lid switch, but not completely sure
In my case it was a broken tub strap , not a lid switch
@@rickrockin155 i pulled the sides off of my washer and didn't see anything broke
Great message
I have the exact same problem with the exact same model of washer. I've tried at least ten times and the "fix" has not worked.
Mine will spin once it finishes the rinse cycle and starts to pour water out but then stops spinning and makes a noise until it finishes. If I put it on spin cycle only it will spin clothes without a problem. Why is it doing that? There's no water inside left but the clothes feel wet, no soaked but not like it does after a normal spinning cycle.
Having that exact issue and I have a brand new washer
@@eliopagan2100 same problem!
I had already tried the reset, that didn't help my fast spin problem, it spins just not fast..
Thank so much
Thank you
What to do if you start giving out smoke
Did it didn't work but did see the belt almost ripping out. Randomly spins whenever she wants to. Is the motor is bad? Well first i gotta change the belt obviously but the rest the timer makes click commanding to cycle and won't cycle. Lol 😆 now i even set on start to fill the water now doesn't 😑
damn, this worked!!! thank you
Did ur washer drain but not spin?...thats my issue.
I'd be willing to bet different brands have different procedures for reset so if this 1/6 method don't work try looking online for your specific brand
I have the same putty knife which is strange I'm in Australia
Worked for me!!! Thank you!!
Well sheeeit. It worked…🤔what kinda voodoo did yoodoo?
😂😂😂😂😂
OMG!!!! It worked. 😀😀😀
Thank you! Tell me where to send the check for the money you saved me😂
That is witchcraft dreamt up through lack of knowledge
It’s actually a really nice washer considering u can’t buy that kind anymore….they only sell high efficiency machines now that have tiny little motors on them and last at most 5 years before they’re shot….the one u have can be rebuilt in an hour for less then $200 and will run for another 20 years with minimal issues….id rather have the old piece of junk then any of these new scams they sell now
Tried this on my washer and it sort of worked....starts too spin little bit....but eventually stops...tried balancing load but not helping
Hahah that what she said...you just can't help yourself. I think most if they don't say it out loud they will say it in their head. Lol
Am I gonna trust you😂😂😂 Anyways I will give it a go.
Damn. I can’t believe I fixed it. I owe you 300aud. You made my day mate.
My old Whirlpool , 22 years old, finally stopped running. Determined it need lid. switch @$6.50 and
put in. Working again. Hope it keeps on running for a number of years to come. The new machines
do not seen to have the longevity of the older washers. Too many bells and whistles .
Why does my brand new washer agitate all the time but doesn't spin every few times.
This saved my day!
Did this and still didn’t work. Belt is good, agitates but no spinning 😔
Me too, did you get yours fixed?
I’m in the same boat. I replaced the pressure switch as well as the pump
What’s weird is it intermittently works
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
Did not work for mine ☹️
