We recently had trouble with the washer not spinning, so the clothes would be soaking wet after a wash. We checked the drain pump for clogs, and didn't find anything in there. We called for service, and they said it sounded like the pump needed to be replaced. I bought a new pump and installed it (myself) and it still isn't spinning. Now it isn't even spinning when we try a normal wash cycle to agitate the clothes around. The drum spins fine by hand, so there isn't anything hindering it from spinning physically. If you listen, you can hear a "humming" sound, like the washer knows it should be spinning, but nothing happens. Any ideas? I'm pretty frustrated because we haven't been able to wash clothes for about a week now, and the thought of going to a laundry mat is not appealing at all. I thought the new drain pump was going to fix it! It is a Whirlpool Duet, model GHW9250MQ0.
Its the lid switch , %100 ,am a washing machine manchic
Sounds like the whirling noise is the pump, pumping. Does it drain at all? Check the drive belt and make sure that it is not broken. This system uses a drive belt with a clutch system to agitate back and forth. The clutch system could be bad as well.
This might not be a cheap fix, these are the main components of the system

Yes, it drains just fine, which makes me believe there isn't something stuck in any of the drain lines or anything. I checked the drive belt, and that was fine. Well, I have another appointment for a repairperson to come out on Tuesday(for free, since their last solution set me back $125 for the new drain pump and didn't work), I'll let you know what I find out. I'm hoping it is something cheap!
Turns out it was a bad Motor Controller card. We replaced that and it works great again. Thanks!
The washer completely cycles but when you take the clothes out they are soaking wet. We had the Sear Service out and they stated the rear bearings are shot. The repair would cost around $1000, service tech is recommending we replace the unit.
