    Can you please get me the model number from the washing machine? It should be located on a tag around the opening of the washer with the lid open.

    Thank you. Is the washer agitating okay, and filling up and draining out the water properly?

    Here is what the manufacture says to check if the washer doesn't spin.

    1 Lid switch. See TEST #8.
    2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
    3. Check harness connections.
    4. Motor. See TEST #3.

    TEST #3 Motor Circuit
    This test checks the wiring to the motor and rotor position sensor; and the motor and rotor position sensor themselves.
    NOTE: Drain water from tub.

    1. See Activation of Manual Diagnostic Test Mode, and check the motor and electrical connections by performing the Agitate and Spin tests under Manual: Motor. The following steps assumes that this step failed.

    2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

    3. Check to see if basket will turn freely.
    • If basket turns freely, go to step
    • If basket does not turn freely, determine what is causing the mechanical friction or lock up.

    4. Remove the console to access the ma- chine/motor control assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies.

    5. Visually check that the P5 and P10 connectors are inserted all the way into the machine/motor control.
    • If visual checks pass, go to step 6.
    • If visual checks fail, reconnect P5 and P10 and repeat step 1.

    6. With an ohmmeter, check for 16 ohms resistance at the P5 connector between pins P5-1 and P5-2, and also between pins P5-1 and P5-3. Also measure the resistance at the P10 connector between pins P10-1 and P10-7 and verify that the resistance is within the range shown in the wiring diagram on page 7-1.
    • If the resistance is correct, go to step 11.
    • If the P5 connector resistance is much higher than 16 ohms, or the P10 connector resistance is out of range, go to step 7.

    7. Tilt machine forward to access the bottom of the machine and the drive motor area. See Figure 1 on page 6-13. Remove the motor bolt, then the motor cover to ac- cess the motor connections. See Figure 2 on page 6-13.

    8. Visually check the mounting bracket and electrical connections to the motor and rotor position sensor board.
    • If visual check passes, go to step
    • If visual check fails, reconnect the electrical connections, reassemble stator and motor cover and repeat step 1.

    9. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P10 machine/motor control connector and the motor rotor position sensor (RPS) connector. See Figures 2 and 4, pages 6-13 and 6-16.
    • If there is continuity, go to step 11.
    • If there is no continuity, replace the lower machine harness.

    10. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P5 machine/mo- tor control connector and the drive motor connector. • If there is continuity, replace the drive motor. • If there is no continuity, replace the lower machine harness.

    11. The drive motor and lower harness are good. Replace the motor RPS board and perform the Diagnostics test in step 1 to verify repair.

    12. If the Diagnostics motor test in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed:
    • Unplug the washer or disconnect power. • Replace the machine/motor control assembly.
    • Perform the Motor Diagnostics in step 1 to verify repair.

    TEST #8 Door Lid Lock
    Perform the following checks if washer fails to lock (or unlock).

    1. Perform Manual: Door Switch and Manual: Door Lid Lock tests.
    2. Remove the console to access the machine/motor control assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies.
    3. Visually check that the P12 connector is inserted all the way into the machine/motor control.
    • If visual check passes, go to step 4.
    • If visual check fails, reconnect P4 and repeat step 1.
    4. Check the lid lock motor winding and switches by removing P12 from the machine/motor control and checking the resistance values shown in the Lid Lock Resistance table below:

    • If resistance values are good, go to step 5.
    • If switch measurements do not match the values shown in the table for un-locked (or locked) conditions, a problem exists in the door lid lock. Replace the door lid lock.
    5. If the Manual: Door Switch or Manual: Door Lid Lock in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed:
    • Unplug washer or disconnect power.
    • Replace machine/motor control assembly.
    • Perform the Manual: Door Switch and Manual: Door Lid Lock in step 1 to verify repair.
