Question

My washing machine won't spin or agitate? What could be the problem?

Answer 1

do you still here the motor running?

If so, it's most likely the belt that goes from the motor to the drum that has snapped... should be easily fixable and fairly cheap too. You can do it yourself.

If you don't hear the motor running, it could be that the motor is burnt out, or you have a problem with the electrics... More expensive to fix and I would recommend getting it done by a pro.

Answer 2

Broken lid switch take a pen and in the top push it down you should hear a click.
