If your washing machine does not spin, it could be several factors. Some older machines are belt driven, and it might be the belt that broke. More modern machines have transmissions in them that control the central agitator and the spinning of the drum. It could be possible that the transmission has died, or there is usually a plastic coupling-motor flange in the transmission that might have broken or worn out. If you hear a humming, or start to smell a burning odor, stop the washer and have it looked at by a service tech. Chances are if you can hear something, it is worth fixing. However, transmissions are not worth the price of replacing them.

How do you fix a washing machine that wont spin?

It could be the transmission or the belt. Many washing machines, while having different manufacturers, work on the same principle. For example, I owned a Kenmore machine for many years, and when I had the spin problem, I first checked the transmission. Perhaps the machine's transmission is kaput (broken), or maybe a belt is busted. Try looking at these two things first. Also, make sure that your washing machine is plugged in. You probably need a pump and motor kit
