How do you fix an older Kitchen Aid washing machine that only spins and won't start or fill with water in any other cycle. It stopped running when it was full of water and ready to spin?In: Home Improvement [Recategorize] |

Answer
There are a few possible reasons this would occur:
- the lid switch is not working properly
- a faulty solenoid relay is not shifting the transmission into the spin cycle
- the timer which controls the solenoid relay is faulty
- the transmission itself is faulty.
In rare instances with belt-driven machines, a loose/worn belt will work in the agitation (wash) cycle but be too weak to spin the tub in the spin cycle. A burning rubber smell in your washroom would be a sign that the belt is slipping and needs to be replaced.
