As a single, female, homeowner on a budget, you are a lifesaver! No way I could afford a new washer right now and was worried about the cost of repair. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Awesome, nice fix! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks bro! This was my exact issue and clearing the pressure switch tube fixed the issue of the lack of spin. Thanks for the easy to follow and concise video!
As simple as this sounds, it absolutely worked for me! Washer kept skipping the spin cycle at random, cloths all damp afterwards but I could still hear the motor pushing...This took maybe 10 minutes and now its back up and running. Thanks man, much appreciation!!! Better than calling a guy and dropping $100
Enjoy the saved cash! Thank you so much for watching J Surm!
You are a life-saver. That pressure tube was gunked up with a bunch of crap. Cleared it out and the problem was fixed. Awesome. Thank you so much.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Wesley!
Lex, dude! Thank you. You just saved me some money and I won't be stinking for the next few weeks. My tube was clogged. I unclogged it and I have no further issues. You are the man! Where was CZcams when I was a young man? This is the best invention ever for us guys! I hate being at the mercy of a repairman needlessly.
Awesome! Enjoy that cash you saved Publius!

Really wow, useless on the service guys part.
THAT'S IT!!! Blowing on that little hose fixed it! There was some gunk in the lower end of the hose that I used a drill bit to pull out before I blew into it. Genius! Thanks so much for this!
Awesome! Nice fix Msmak!

Awesome! Washer wouldn't drain or go into spin with the tank tub full. I took the tube off of the switch and blew into the switch a couple times. Then I blew into the tube till I heard it bubbling into the tub. Plugged it back in and set it to almost the spin cycle and it started draining and went through the spin cycle. Great advice! Hopefully this will last till I decide to replace this ten year old beast. For anyone wondering I did this to a Whirlpool washer, worked all the same.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Mark!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I originally tried vinegar and hot water to clear the drain tube, which worked temporarily, but this was the actual solution to my problem! I used a straw brush (or pipe cleaner) to unclog all the gunk in the tube since blowing into it wasn't working. Thanks again!!!

Lex Vance hey I thought once you pull the tube off the flow sensor you have to blow and clinch the tube before pushing it back on you mean I’ve been blowing and holding the tube for nothing 🤔
Dude! I was all set to buy a new washer- until I saw this! I had tried "everything" and figured it had just died- and all I had to do was get rid of some gunk in a tube right in front of my face. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. The kids will have a christmas thanks to you lol- no sitting around the new machine washing clothes on christmas morning. Lifesaver!

That did the trick. I had a pressure switch on order because the washer was overfilling occasionally but then it stop spinning. I tried this and it worked. The pressure switch is coming this afternoon and I am just going to drop it in. $30.00 bucks not bad for a 2001 GE washer. In the past I had to replace the motor just out of warranty and a couple of years ago the metal hub under the basket but this old baby is still going strong. Thanks for the tip. BTW, I used a pipe cleaner to clean out the end of the hose.

my machine spins when I put it directly to drain/spin and the timer advances but in regular cycles it won't spin and the timer is also advancing you can hear the clicks to the pressure switch activate. which one would I replace?
Eddie Manzano If timer is advancing all the way to the end, I'd try the pressure switch.
Thanks for the informational video. 3/25/23 for those that might not be sure if this might fix their problem. My machine wouldn’t drain or spin. It would just keep filling more till water was coming out of somewhere. This fixed it. I bought the part on Amizon for $28. They are all a little different from one another. I had to break my old part off where it clips in to the machine. I didn’t attach the new part till I tried it to see if it worked. Incase I wanted to return it and maybe call someone to fix it. Yeah I it worked. 😊
Nice fix, Max! Thank you so much for watching!

Outstanding presentation! I have an older Kenmore here that doesn’t want to go into spin. If I turn it off and then on again, it will spin.
Hmm interesting. Some can be very weird. Thank you so much for watching Joseph!
Thank you for this informative video. I used my air pressure hose to remove what appeared to be debris in my water level tube. I also pushed a little air into the plastic reservoir that fills and releases the water on the side of the wash tub you show in this video. The washing machine is spinning out as it should; I also think that the debris in the tube was affecting the level of the water going into the washing tub. The water wasn't reaching its maximum level for the "Large" cycle and now I think that won't be an issue going forward.
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching mycat!
Thank you. I knew it was something simple. The apartment maintenance came over to repair it and said I needed to replace it. They're getting me a new washer. The only reason I tried to learn how to repair it was curiosity.

THANKS..
Great video.. I have a whirlpool top load that runs the same way and the setup is the same, direct drive shaft.. Mine was agitating but not spinning when it reached that cycle. Changed the clutch still didn't spin. Checked the coupler and it was good. With the cabinet off I checked to see if the clutch was spinning when the machine was on, it wasn't. Took off the transmission and manually turned the motor, didn't turn. Decided to go into the transmission. As soon as I set free the plate that covers the transmission, where the oil and gears are, about a cup of water rushed out. So I decided to drain all of the oil that was in the transmission, and half was oil and half water. Cleaned the transmission with kerosine and a clean paint brush, allowed it to dry, topped back up the transmission with 16oz oil and assembled the machine.. Machine is now perking, agitating, spinning and working like brand new.. Before this episode I had to change the tub, upper and lower shaft seals due to a leak. I guess what happened was water leaked into the transmission causing the gears to slip.

I just order a pressure switch through your link, I'll let you know if that was the problem because I checked the hose like tou showed and it didn't work so I should receive it in 2 days!
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much for your video. I am narrowing down the possibilities for my problem (machine won't agitate or spin). I checked the pressure switch, lid switch, found that the timer does not advance. Will the timer cause it to not agitate as well as spin?
If its stuck in one place & not advancing to the end, then yes, I'd say the timer is the issue. If it is advancing to the end, then theres other issues. Thank you so much for watching Denise!
www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
Thank you again!
I blew in the hose and chaged out the pressure switch, still no spinning.
Great video. Does that work for White Westinghouse as well?
I'm not sure. You would have to Google their error codes. Thank you so much for fix- it!
Well, I’m all the way in NY. But thanks, maybe it’s time to change the machine. It gives me a good run
A common problem on older machines that won't enter the spin cycle is the mechanical lid switch. I haven't worked on one yet with a magnetic switch like the one your working on. Just another thing to look out for Lex, thanks for the videos!
aeroaggie Oh yea I've worked on a few of them old dinosaurs. You could hardwire the lid switch and bypass it. It was so easy. I loved them, LoL!😂👍😂

Why my washer spin but not the final 2 minutes of spin? Clothes come out damp. dial never reaches off position. Close but too wet.

Thank you so much for watching!
Thank u Lex for this video, turns out that was the problem to my washer. I blew in the hose, now does it matter how many times u blow in it? I only did it a few times.
camron626 No just one good blow into it will work. If it happens again though, you'll need to replace the pressure switch. Thank you so much for watching Camron!

I seen there was alot of build up in the tube. I just took the tube out and got all that gunk build up out. give it more life. again thank u Lex I would have never of figured it out if it wasn't for ur video.
camron626 You're welcome man! A repairman would've charged you $200 to do that. 👍😂👍
I have a GE washer that is similar to the one in the video. It will work fine for a load or two and then just decide that it doesn't want to spin at the end of a cycle to dry the clothes. I cleaned out the pressure hose earlier today after the unit had been sitting untouched for about two weeks and it worked great for two consecutive loads but then on the third it wouldn't spin during the final rinse/spin cycle. I'm wondering if something might be heating up and just need lubricating to reduce friction? Any suggestions?
After I blow in the pressure switch, it'll work for a load & then won't work. It may be your pressure switch. Hard to tell by not beimg there to look at it with my volt meter. Thank you so much for watching Richard!
www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
Hey lance I had a GE washing machine not spinning and it turned out to be that capacitor on the right front side of the washing machine. It was about half way up on the right front of the machine.
Right on! That's fantastic wisdom to pass on. Thank you so much Marc!
www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
Marc mine still not spinning - what is the capacitor ?
Pull the front cover off it's a black cylinder about 3inches length with 2 wires in the bottom of it on the right side of the machine. About half way up on the right
I have a hotpoint washer that looks exactly like this one, just up and stopped agitating and spinning. Everything else still works, timer goes all the way. Lid switch engages, checked the tube for the pressure switch also. I hear the motor hum when the timer moves just ahead of the drain and spin setting when it would normally start as if it is trying to but won't. Only thing I can assume is the capacitor is bad and the motor isn't able to get that charge of power to get it spinning or agitating. Just curious if you would think its the capacitor also?
Yes, if you have a volt meter you can check the microfarads.
Awesome
Thank you so much for watching Virtue!
Hello, really appreciate the video. Our washer won’t enter the spin cycle. However, if you lift the lid, it will then stop agitating and start the spin cycle. I’ve replaced the timer and lid switch. The timer is remanufactured. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Yikes. I would need to be there for this head scratcher. 🤔
Does a similar fix apply for front loaders? My washer is only from 2011 but now is considered "old" while those from 30 yrs ago may still run. It randomly will not spin - usually a 2nd run through fixes it but it seems sometimes its brain is mixed up. Thank you for your information!
I'm only familiar with top loaders, sorry. I hope everything works out for you! 🤞

Hey man, great vid. Question...my timer is advancing, but not all the way to the end. Probably about 3/4. Do you think the timer could be the issue? I can’t recall if I ever remember seeing the timer go completely into the white. Basically the end. Thanks.
Yea, if the timer is stopping 3/4 of the way through then I'd say the timer is the problem. Thank you so much for watching Clif!
www.DirtyMaintenanceNation.com
Thank you for the prompt reply!
Nice video, so mine seems to periodically not spin, usually on a heavy load of towels. On a light to medium load it works fine on a heavier load it stops, you open the lid, machine has mostly drained but towels/clothes are soaked and it didn't spin and the spin cycle dial has about a 1/2 inch to go to finish but machine is off. When I rearrange the load, turn timer around 360 degrees to spin and start it, it drains a little more and then spins to finish. I took the cover off and pulled the hose, it wasn't real dirty but I cleaned it with an ice pic, blew the line and the plastic dome reservoir out with air. I heard the switch clicking when I put air in the line. Since it completes the cycle sporadically can I eliminate the timer as a problem? Assuming the line is clean is the switch the only other possible issue? I will try a large load again soon since I just cleaned it just before I posted but I'm assuming it's not the line, will let you know. Thanks!
Yes the timer seems okay . Maybe the pressure switch.
@@LexVance Thanks for the quick reply. Did another cycle tonight, good size load and when is was full agitator was making a funny noise which I've seen happen recently and didn't mention. I stopped it turned the dial and started again but same result. I then stopped it raised the lid up and down twice and started it and it ran the entire cycle flawlessly. Would a screwy lid switch cause the periodic not spinning problem as well as this funky agitator issue? Also at what point is it not worth fixing if I do have to call the appliance guy, the machine is 7 1/2 years old? Thanks.
May want to check your lid switch too. That's a quick fix that could be the cause.
Yuma Scott oh yea. The Ol lid switch will get'cha. 😂 Thank you so much for watching Yuma!

Is this the same for a Kenmore washer as well?
If it has a pressure switch, which most brands do then yes, it could possibly be the issue. Thank you so much for watching Kimberly!
I like your post. Can you give me some insight as to why, my washer won't spin during a regular cycle? After I reset the motor - unplug for a minute, lift and close lid 6 times in less than 15 seconds, I can hear the motor clutch lock in and it begins spinning. I have to do this for every load.
I replaced the lid switch already. Also, I have a question about the water pressure tubing. On the tub, there is a plastic container where the water pressure hose connects to. Should there be about an inch of water in it?
I await your expert advice on the GE washer.
Is it a GE washing machine?
@@LexVance Yes, it is a GE Washer. Is it the motor coupler?
Another question I have is the plastic container that the water pressure tube connects to on the tub itself, should that have water in it?
I appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks!
@@LexVance any help in solving my problem?
THANKS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE YOU DO TO OTHERS AND EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO FIX ON THEIR OWN. ONE QUESTION WHAT IF YOU HEAR IT WHEN YOU BLOW INTO THE SELCTOR IS IT WORKING .?? ALSO WELL WE NEED TO KEEP IN TOUCH I AM A HANDY MAN THAT FIXES MANY APPLIANCES AND SOMETIMES GET STUCK? GET AT ME AND GOD BLESS

Thanks for the quick response lex, I ordered the part already and well , just have to wait an see. I knw its not the timer as it moves slowly when I start it up, when I move it to spin drain, it drains just wont spin, or agitate as well. Now the motor is good I believe I hooked it direct and it spins so its only one other thing, either the switch . I doubt that as I hear it as well when I lift the top. Anywho thanks again , God bless
oh what if its not that? i mean it drIns it does not spin or agitate. changing the selctor switch a. what else can it be. thanks
Hey Lex- I'm not sure if you're still fielding questions about this, but I have a somewhat older model GE top loader (WBSR3140D0WW) that is doing everything (including agitation) except for spinning.. and this pressure switch approach didn't seem to fix it. I'm wondering if it could be the motor. Do you have any videos or ideas on how to approach this? I've also tested the lid switch and the capacitor. I tried replacing the timer, and it turned out my replacement had broken during shipping, but since the same thing happened with the new timer (no spinning), it didn't seem to me it was the solution. The timer does progress through the cycle, just no spinning. Any suggestions are welcome!
Weird! Yea, I'd need to be there with my volt meter to see what's going on. A new pressure switch usually does it. You got a head scratcher that's too complicated for CZcams comment repair.
@@LexVance Thanks Lex. I have a new hypothesis. Think a leaking tub seal (hub seal?) might have washed out the grease from the transmission and brake assembly (czcams.com/video/uMueC1dD2gs/video.html). Not sure if this is right, but guess I'll remove it and see if it seems obviously wonky. I did have a leaking seal a couple months ago, and the washer stopped spinning after that..
Hello Lex question, do you think that if a drain pump does not work, the spinn syclo will not work either, Thank You.
Probably, because the water wouldn't be out of the tub for it to spin.
Some of the worst floods I've had are from clogged pressure switch lines i usually run degreaser through the machine when I'm finished.
