Hello.
If your washer is indeed a WFL2066, than the not spinning is directly relatedto the unit not draining.
These machines by design cannot spin if the drain is inadequate.
Here is the first step in resolving the problem, you need to access the drainpump/filter to clean it.
To reach the filter and clean it...
**Unplug the washer from the dryer or wall, or turn off the 30amp breakerat the home service panel...safety first**
1) Open the small square plastic door at the right bottom of thewasher.
2) Via the small hose drain any access water from the pump...this is where awet/dry shop-vac comes in handy, or a shallow pan with a few towels works aswell.
3) Then turn the pump insert/button trap counter clock-wise and pull out.Clean the trap out thoroughly running it under hot water and mild soap or yourwasher detergent and inspect inside the pump for any other foreignobjects/obstructions.
4) Re-install the lint trap insuring it is good and snug/tight. Beforeclosing up the small access door, run a short rinse spin cycle to check forleaks.
Let me know how you make out, or if you require further assistance.

Hello,
See this tip as option two to solve the problem.
However,there are several reasons thata washing machine won't drain or spin. The cause could be something as easy asa clog or something difficult that will need a licensed repairman. Start withthe simplest possible cause and work down to the more difficult causes.
INSTRUCTION BELOW
· A washing machine won't spin if the watercan't drain. Check hoses for any kinks or clogs that may prevent the water fromdraining. If a hose has kinks, try to straighten out the kinked hose. If itcan't be straighten sufficiently, replace the hose. If hoses are not kinked,check for clogged hoses.
· This can be done by using the screwdrivers toremove the hoses and looking for clogs or running a water hose through theclogged hose to remove the clog. Use the rags and bucket to clean up the waterthat comes out of the hoses when they are disconnected. Once the clog iscleared, put the drain hose back into place. The washer should drain and spinnow if a clogged or kinked hose was the problem.
· 2 If the washer still won't drain or spin,check to see if the lid is not closing all the way or if the lid switch is notclicking into place. Close the lid and make sure that it closes all the waydown. When the lid closes, the lid switch should click. If there is no clickingsound, then the switch may need to be replaced. Follow manufacturer'sdirections for replacing the switch. If the lid does not close all the way,visually check for signs that the lid is bent. If bent, try to bend it back intoplace.
· 3 Loose or broken belts could also prevent awashing machine from draining or spinning. Pull the washer away from the walland, using the screwdrivers and wrenches, remove the back panel. Using theflashlight, visually check for any broken or loose belts. Replace any broken orloose belts. Although replacing washing machine belts is difficult, anyone whohas replaced belts on a car, lawn mower or even a bicycle chain should be ableto accomplish the task.
· 4 Another possibility for a washing machineto not spin or drain is the pump. With the back panel still off the washer,check the pump with the voltmeter to ensure that the pump is getting power. Ifthe washer is getting power, turn on the washer and listen to find out if thepump is running but the water is still not draining. It may be necessary toremove the pump and clean it or to replace the pump with a new one. Once thepump is replaced, turn on the washer to determine if it will now drain andspin.
· 5 If all of the above steps fail to produce awashing machine that drains or spins,then get back to me for more solutionahead .· 7 Use thescrewdrivers and wrenches to replace the panel on the washer and push it backagainst the wall.

It's a Model 10505 washer. Is that the same thing as what you mentioned?
Nothing in the trap except some sludge. Plus I notice that the tub is leaking now. There is still water there, but it won't pump out. Perhaps the large host has a clog in it. I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
