PHIL'S WASHER QUESTION

[PHILIPWOLF]

I have a whirlpool imperial seventy old used machine that has stopped doing the spin cycle. I can hear the motor going and it starts to spin then just peters out. Any answers?

Look under the machine Is this a direct drive? (no belt) Are there little bits of plastic on the floor?

You have a bad coupler.

[Stormin Mormon]

First thought came to mind, was lid switch. Of course, the Whirlpools often had direct drive couplers that were known to go bad.
