Crosley Washer won't spin or agitate
If your Crosley washer won't agitate or spin, the most likely cause is a failed rotor and stator kit, especially if the washing machine has a burning smell or the stator coils show signs of overheating. A broken motor coupling is another common reason a washer is not agitating or spinning, particularly after an overloaded load. Next, check the control board, which may not be sending voltage to the drive motor. A broken or loose drive belt can also stop the basket and agitator from moving. If the motor is not receiving power, the timer may be faulty, although it should be considered only after other components test properly. Finally, test the lid switch assembly for continuity because a failed switch prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is closed. Unplug the appliance before testing or replacing parts, and use a multimeter when directed by the wiring diagram. Enter your Crosley washer's model number to find the exact replacement rotor and stator kit, motor coupling, control board, drive belt, timer, or lid switch assembly for your specific washing machine.
01 - Crosley Washing Machine Rotor and Stator Kit
The stator is part of a direct drive motor that electrically drives the outer rotor. If the stator coils become wet or the coated wires on the coils short out, they can produce a burning smell. You can test the stator coils with a meter. If the stator is smoking, or smells burnt, it will need to be replaced.

02 - Crosley 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.

03 - Crosley 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 wash or spin cycle. If power is not reaching the drive motor, you should first confirm the lid or door switch test properly with a multimeter. If the lid or door switch is working properly, the control board is likely at fault. 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.

04 - Crosley 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.

05 - Crosley Washing Machine Timer
If a washer is not spinning or agitating, you should first determine if the drive motor is running and if power is reaching the drive motor. If no power if reaching the drive motor, and the lid swith assembly or door latch test appropriately with a multimeter, then the timer is likely malfunctioning. Since this is rarely the case, you should confirm all of the other likely defective components are functioning normally before considering a timer replacement.

06 - Crosley 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.
