For a washing machine with this symptom, the most relevant component families are Lid switch / door lock, Drive belt, Shift actuator, Clutch, Motor coupling.
Component families associated with this symptom
These are component types commonly connected with this malfunction. They are not model-specific part-number recommendations.
Lid switch / door lock
Washers often inhibit spin if the lid or door lock circuit does not confirm a safe condition.
Drive belt
A broken or slipping belt can prevent the basket from spinning on belt-driven designs.
Shift actuator
Many top-load washers use an actuator to shift between agitation and spin.
Clutch
A worn clutch can prevent the basket from reaching spin speed.
Motor coupling
Direct-drive designs may use a coupling between the motor and transmission.
Drive motor
A failed motor cannot provide spin torque.
Rotor / stator
Direct-drive front-load and some top-load machines use rotor/stator drive components.
Gearcase / transmission
Internal drive failure can prevent basket rotation.
Motor control board
Electronically controlled motors depend on the motor control circuit.
