Washing Machine Not Spinning: Check the Cycle, Drain, Load, and Lock

Whirlpool Washing Machine Not Spinning: Check the Cycle, Drain, and Load
A Whirlpool washer may appear not to spin because the selected cycle uses a low or no-spin setting, the washer is waiting to drain, the door or lid is not latched, the load is unbalanced or over-sudsed, or the cabinet is not level. First note when the problem occurs and whether water remains. If there is standing or hot water, a leak, walking, scraping metal, burning smell, smoke, arcing, or a repeated trip, stop and arrange service rather than trying another cycle.
