Stops spinning during cycle

Most likely an unbalanced load especially when it improve during the spinning cycle. When it happens stop the cycle immediately and re position the garments evenly in the drum. If this eliminates the shaking it proves that the load was unbalanced if not the springs must be checked for the possibility that one might be unhooked. Check also if all the feet are making contact to the floor by grabbing the loader at the top and trying to rock it in any direction. If there is movement the feet need to be adjusted until thee is no movement possible at all.

Remove the power for sometime , check if the spindle is FREE and moves. , Remove the back and under side to inspect for any damage to the motor or drive. check the power lines, check on the motor CAPACITOR. Now when powering check the VOLTAGE to the motor. if this is low or absent then the program controller unit is faulty.

it must be motor run away condition. motor must have exceeded its design speed and the internal windings must have parted off. you did the right thing. but, when your son switched on again, it would have run for few minutes with all internal extra friction and stopped with burnt smell. you have lost the motor. but, before replacing the motor get the speed control system checked.

Place a load in the machine use a good level to get machine perfectly level. Now put machine on spin and check the feet. Find the one that is not solid and slowly adjust it until it stops shaking. PS place level on flat top surface and level side to side and front to back.

Change the three wear pads

Most out of balance problems are from the clothes in it. Stop it, move the clothes around - kind of even out the load and try again.

ok check the lid switch,,did it knock it out of place,,unplug and take back off ,,,

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

I would say that based on your problem description that the lid /door switch has a loose or faulty contact .. If you open and close it a few times..it starts to spin and yet when you open it.. it doesn't always stop the spinning.. It is either the switch or the actuator that bumps that switch.. That is where I would begin diagnosing the problem... Hope that helps..

Sounds like the switch which cuts the machine off when the load is unbalanced. My guess is that: This switch is being triggered too easily The springs holding the bowl up are either stretched or one is broken; The machine may not be level.
