Inglis Washer won't spin

Won’t your Inglis washer spin? The suspension rods are the most likely cause, especially on a top-load washer. A broken or dislodged rod can leave the tub unbalanced and cause the control board to stop the spin cycle while it tries to redistribute the load. Next, check the lid switch assembly, which prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. A failed switch will stop the cycle even when the lid appears closed. A broken motor coupling, often caused by overloading or normal wear, can prevent the motor from driving the transmission. Inspect the drive belt next for looseness or damage, then make sure the door or lid is fully closed and the door strike is not broken. If these parts check out, a faulty control board may not be sending voltage to the drive motor. These checks can help diagnose a washer not spinning, washing machine not spinning, or Inglis washer no spin problem. Enter your model number to find the exact suspension rods, lid switch, motor coupling, drive belt, door strike, or control board for your specific washing machine.

01 - Inglis Washing Machine Suspension Rod

A top-load washer tub is usually supported by four suspension rods. If one of the suspension rods becomes dislodged or breaks, the control board may stop the spin cycle several times to try to balance the clothes. Suspension rods will often come in a set of four and it is recommended to replace all four of the rods at the same time to reduce uneven wear.

02 - Inglis Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly

The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

03 - Inglis Washing Machine Motor Coupling

The motor coupling connects the motor to the washing machine transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

04 - Inglis Washing Machine Drive Belt

05 - Door is not fully closed

Make sure the door is closed completely and remove any obstructions preventing the door from closing. Confirm the door strike on the door is not broken. If it is broken, you will need to replace the door strike.

06 - Inglis Washing Machine Control Board

Since a washing machine control board provides voltage to nearly all of the washer's electrical components, a faulty board may not be sending power to the drive motor during the spin cycle. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted-out component. You can also use a multimeter to test the power output terminals on the board after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.
