I have a Kenmore washer that the unit is not spinning and the clothes are sopping wet; but there is no standing water inside the tub. It sounds like it is in a spin mode but it is not spinning. I have checked the motor coupler and it appears to be fine… nothing is cracked or stripped… it seems to be in good condition. I have also checked the water hoses attached to the water pump and there is no blockage. What other conditions would cause the unit to not spin??? Would a possible transmission issue be next to check??? The unit sounds like it wants to work but nothing appears to spin; and the fabric softener is not dispensing during usage.

Thank you for any help –

in between your clutch and housing just above gearecase is your basket drive there is a plastic piece that looks like an eagles beak the clutch makes contact with that piece to release the brake to spin if broken will need new basket drive if not broken you will need to remove your agitator and inspect the drive block for damage it is bell shaped is split on one side and has two notches on the inside that the basket drive spin tube fit into to replacev it you will need to remove the spanner nut and the wash basket

Thanks Robert for your reply –

I am trying to release the basket drive/transmission from the bottom of the unit; but I ran into a snag. The screw at the bottom of the agitator appears to have a stripped head on it (from another repair job by someone else.) I was wondering if you know of a way to get the screw out so I can remove the transmission/basket drive from the bottom?

I am trying to inspect the drive block; and the clutch lining/brake components…

thanks – fred in Lubbock, TX
