Whirpool lsq9244eqo fills and drains but does not spin or agitate

Most likely lid switch is defective. Machine thinks lid is open therefore will not drain or spin

What is the model number of your unit?

sounds to me like the motor coupling is broken,this youtube video will show you how to replace it

Could be a few problems. Bad lid switch could be the problem but also could be other things. The agitator noise is something probably you should let a technician hear it could be as bad as a bad transmission. That could also be the cause of the other.

Hi Sherrie,
There is a service manual located inside the front left side of the cabinet.I find it easier to turn the washer on it's back and then reach up in the cabinet to get it.Hope this Helps !

clutch could be it check if nothing is jammed between tub andbasket. if u have an oily tranny i would replace it

It sounds like you have a broken motor coupling. This is a very inexpensive and simple repair.

If the washer will fill and drain, but won't agitate or spin, you may have a broken motor coupling. The noise of the motor engaging, lack of agitation and ability to still drain are the usual symptoms. This is a common fail item with this model washer through normal wear and tear. Newer versions of the coupler are more resilient and resist breaking. The following link explains how to replace one:

The motor coupling is located between the drive motor and the transmission and takes the place of a drive belt. They do wear out and can break. The replacement part number is included in the link I provided and is an improved upgraded coupling that is more resilient. It should last longer. If you have questions, or require additional assistance, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

A replacement coupler can be purchased on line at appliancepartspros.com for about $11. Just use the part number in the link and "Search by Part Number" for your search criteria.

You found a belt? Most w/p washer do not have a belt they are direct drive. take off the pump and motor to replace the motor coupling, 2 plastic pieces w/ a rubber in between
