Haier Washer won't agitate

If your Haier washer won't agitate, the agitator repair kit is the most likely place to start. Worn, stripped, or damaged agitator components can leave the washer agitator not working even though the motor runs. Next, inspect the drive block or bell, which connects the transmission shaft to the agitator. A damaged drive block may allow the shaft to move while the agitator moves only slightly or not at all. The lid switch assembly is another common cause because a failed switch can prevent the washer from agitating or spinning. Make sure the lid is fully closed and that nothing blocks the lid strike from engaging the switch or latch. If those parts check out, inspect the motor coupling for breaks caused by overloading or wear, then check whether the drive belt is broken or loose on the pulleys. These checks apply whether your washing machine is not agitating or your washer won't agitate but will spin. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Haier washing machine.

02 - Haier Washing Machine Drive Block or Bell

The drive block connects the washer transmission to the agitator. If the drive block is worn out, the transmission shaft will still move back and forth, but the agitator will only move slightly or will not move at all. Inspect the drive block for damage. If the drive block is worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace it.

03 - Haier Washing Machine Lid Switch Assembly

On some models the lid switch assembly prevents the washer from both spinning and agitating when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin or agitate. 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 when the lid is closed, replace it.

04 - Lid Not Fully Closed

On most top load machines the washer will not agitate or spin without the lid being fully closed. Close the lid after loading the washer and ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid strike from connecting to the lid switch or latch.

05 - Haier Washing Machine Motor Coupling

The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer 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.
Highly Likely

06 - Haier Washing Machine Drive Belt

Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.
