My 4 year old Whirlpool Ultimate Care washer was in the middle of the wash cycle, getting ready to rinse or spin and just died. My fiance went outside to check the breaker. When he came back in, we turned the washer on and tried to put it on the spin cycle. I heard the motor making a whining/grinding noise. The machine would not agitate or drain. We tried the washer on a few other cycles and nothing happened. Now the washer won't do anything at all! Any idea what's causing this?

Hi, This washer does not have a belt. While the washer is agitating, if you lift the lid will it stop? Some models will agitate but not spin if the lid is up. It sounds to me like the lid switch might be going bad.
If you will get me a model #, I can look this up for you and give you a better idea.
If the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:
It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.
It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.

most new washers have cold water only rinse and spray rinse ck cold water coming into machine during wash if no cold comes in suspect cold side of fill vale not opening ..could be wiring issue or a bad valve
Only a trained laundry tech can make the electronic diagnoses.
How old is the washer?Sounds old!
If the appliance is 10 years old or more you it may not be advisable to put good money into bad! New appliances are so much more efficient today that they can save you a lot of money in energy!!!! Water,Electric and detergent! And put money back in your pocket! The new appliance will pay for itself in only a few years!
