Common Symptoms
- Basket does not spin or spins slowly
- Clothes remain wet at the end of the cycle
- Loud or grinding noise during spin
- Basket vibration or shaking during spin
- Hard or abrupt stopping at the end of spin
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the basket drive and surrounding area for obvious wear, stripped tabs, corrosion, or oil contamination.
- Check whether the spin-tube tabs and basket drive block are visibly worn or stripped before attributing the problem to the basket drive.
- Observe whether the inner basket rotates normally during a spin-only cycle; do not reach into or restrain a moving basket.
- If the clutch pads appear worn or contaminated and the drive block and spin-tube tabs are in good condition, the basket drive assembly may be implicated; confirm with the appliance’s service documentation or a qualified technician.
Pro Tip
Inspect the drive block and spin-tube tabs at the same time; wear in those mating components can produce similar spin symptoms and can damage a replacement basket drive.
