Philips Whirlpool washing machine doesn't spin.?

I have a Philips Whirlpool AWG750 washing machine. If the machine is empty, or has not much in it, it works fine. If it has a full wash, it doesn't spin or try to spin, and the clothes come out dripping wet.


Thankyou in advance.Philips Whirlpool washing machine doesn't spin.?
hi,





most likely your brake soleniod has failed, this part activates the brake to stop the agitator from spinning, the brake soleniod is the large click noise when you lift the lid and the bowl slows down very fast.


this fault can be noticed by turning on the door switch manually and monitor the agitator and bowl if its faulty you will notice the agitator spinning fast and being thrown against the bowl. causes also alot of out of balance.Philips Whirlpool washing machine doesn't spin.?
Kenmore and Whirlpool washers are notorious for this. It is a worn or broken motor coupling. The motor coupling is a rubber and ceramic piece that links the motor with the basin. Telltale signs of the coupler being worn or damaged are loss of or no spin cycle. check under your washer for black filings or debris. A new motor coupler cost about $20.00 at your local repair shop and takes about an hour to fix.





Here is a link to repair a Kenmore 90 series. Its not a Whirlpool but it will point you in the right direction. Whirlpools and Kenmore are made by the same manufacturer.

one other check, make sure your door switch is working properly.
sounds like your belt is getting worn out, so that heavy loads allow it to slip, while light loads don't affect it too much. try replacing the belt or increasing tension on the belt.
Could you get the model number off the machine model tag for a more accurate response. Thanks
