Washing machine won't spin? Here's Who to Call
When a washing machine fills and drains but won't spin, clothes come out soaking wet. Common causes are a worn drive belt, a failed lid switch or door lock, a clogged drain pump, or an unbalanced load the machine refuses to spin. An appliance repair technician can diagnose the fault and replace the belt, switch, or pump.
