I have a whirlpool washer model#LSQ8520JQ0. everything works perfect except the spin function. it fills up and drains and also aggitates but it just does not spin??? it is not the lid switch we tested that already???

It is overload error.
"oL" (Over Load)
Is the washer overloaded? The washer has attempted to fill •
and begin the wash cycle. If the washer is overloaded, it will
drain any water and detergent that was added during the fill.
To correct the overload, remove several items and add
detergent. Close lid and press START.

Also try to download user manual from this site and check page 19.

Sounds like a cycle switch problem. The switch is not turning and making contact with the next cycle. It needs to be changed!

My Whirlpool WTW6600 had the same problem. The tub no longer floated up and down on the center shaft, so it only spun, not agitated. You must remove the tub (with some effort) and lightly sand / clean the center shaft. Lube it lightly with wheel bearing grease so that after it is reassembled, you can pull the tub upward and feel about 1/2" movement. This will enable the proper gear assembly to engage. It can spin when it rests at the bottom of its travel, but once you fill the tub, it floats, moving upward, and engaging the agitation gear. Good Luck!

Hello,
This video will show you how to open the control panel(and remove cabinet) what i would check if it agitates yet wont spin or drain is the lid switch

the solenoid that controls agitator is the problem it's on the rocker arm one is spin and pump other is agitator

My whirlpool heavy duty 2 speed 7 cycle washer machine stopped working, It fills up and aggitates for the first cycle then when it should drain and spin it doesnt drain nor spin

More than likely it has a broken wire underneath that controls the spin. and agitation. I had an old Kenmore that the wire that controls these functions would break about every 6 months.

More than likely it is the clutch or transmisson. Since it drains and agitates we can rule out the motor, pump and coupler as well as the lid switch. The only things left (since the timer is activating the motor and causing it to drain) are the clutch and transmission. My guess is your clutch is wore out, in either case, it should go to a qualified repairman.

I have 2 words for you: "dog ears".

the dog aggitation ears are what cause the aggitator to aggitate. Those things wear down and not grab after time.

Pretty easy to change out. You just need to pull the aggitator out and change the 4 little plastic ears. Good luck :)

Possible lid lock, check the lid is locked when it should be spinning or pump jammed and check the draim filter. Regards Advisor
