Washer Won't Spin or Drain - Easy Fix

Right in the middle of a load of laundry, the washer stopped when it should have been spinning, and I was left with a washer full of water and wet laundry. This can happen for several reasons but in this case it was a simple fix.

I'm 75 yrs. young and not afraid to try fixing things. The two little screws wouldn't come out and a friend came to help out. In the end, after determining the problem, . he zip tied the actuator, slid it back in and ... voila!!! Your excellent video probably saved me $100 or more. Thanks ever so much:)

it took me longer to find the screwdriver and the zip tie in my garage than it took me to fix the washer! Thank you!!!

THANK YOU!!! Oh my goodness. You SAVED ME! I AGREE...BEST TUTORIAL I'VE EVER SEEN! I am so eternally grateful for your video. I am a single mom struggling with finances and our washing machine stopped draining about 2 months ago and I didn't have the funds to fix it. I had watched so many videos and stumbled upon your video...did EXACTLY what you said to do and voilà!!!! Machine works again. You rock!

Bloody hell. Thanks man. I was freaking out thinking I had to replace the whole machine.

Awesome video! Precise and to the point! It took me just a few minutes to fix my washer. Thank you!

[chuckg]

Wow. I just fixed mine following your video. Thanks a ton!! I have a 15 year old whirlpool similar to yours in the video.

Pulled the actuator and was happy to see that it was in the exact same shape. One zip tie later... joy! Thank you SO much.

You sir are a godsend! Came home from a shit day at work to the ol lady saying the washer quit and I was about to throw it out but i saw this video and it was exactly the problem we had!

[shabuki]

Thank you for the quick simple video. I gave up and then saw yours as I was closing down You Tube. It was the right one. I can't believe I actually had a zip tie in the house. Thank you so much!

The lid on my washer slammed down this morning. M glad I checked here before I bought a new washer. Thanks!

I hope all lights are green whenever you drive, and your coffee is always the perfect temperature.

Let me start first by saying I am in no way mechanically inclined nor claim to be. However, ran into this exact issue this week and decided to give it a try. The only issue I had was when I removed the actuator it had a piece of metal attached to which I could not remove. After moving it around a bit I was still able to get my tie wrap around the actuator as shown. When I plugged it back in it worked. Must say I am quite proud of myself for trying and accomplishing this. Thank you so much for the video!!!

You’re a life saver !! Lol I thought I was going to have to buy another washer I tried this and once I plugged it back in it worked !!! Thank you
