[QUOTE="klmno, post: 299880, member: 3699"] Yes, I had the same thing happen to me. My advice/input is based ONLY on a washer that's a few years old already and you can tell that everything is working normally and still running EXCEPT that it won't actually spin during the cycle. OK, if that's the case, you have to take the top off the cylinder in the middle. You should be able to Google your specific make and model to get a photo on the manufacturer's site for "parts" or something. Once you can see inside the cylinder, try to take out the pieces inside- I know there is a plastic "gear" inside but I don't remember what else. Take all the pieces inside to a place that sells parts for your model of washing machine. Typically what happens is that the plastic "teeth" on the gear wear down so the cylinder quits turning. I think this cost me about $10 in parts and $10 to my son for helping me get the darn thing apart and back together. It would have cost me at least 3 times that much to get a repairman out here. I hope it's that simple for you, too! PS I didn't figure this out on my own. I asked my boss at the time and he told me. [/QUOTE]
