It broke. I stopped spinning. What could be wrong with it? It this something I can fix by myself?

The first thing to check is the lid switch or the tab on the lid that activates it. I never saw so many stupid answers in one place before.

Pull it away from the wall, take the back off. Touch all the electrical wires with your bare hands while standing in a puddle of water. This should help you find any wires that may have a short in them preventing the washer from spinning. Hope this helps.

have someone check it out. there is a plastic gear kinda thing underneath it that will shear off if there's too much resistance when it's trying to spin. That's a safety feature to prevent you from doing more serious damage. That happened to us and I think it cost like 50 bucks to get it fixed.

you cant repair yourself.it could be mechanical or electrical so it would be difficult to say what happened and dont let any of these young nuts tell you its that or this. ive been taking care of my own units for over 30 years because my wife and married daughter can wash a huge bunch of clothes

First check the breaker box and make sure it not just a blown breaker. Then if it still doesnt work buy a new one, Parts are hard to find and expensive.

DISCONNECT AND PULL THE VARMIT AWAY TO LOOK AT BACK SEE IF THE BELTS TORN OR LAYIN THERE
BELTS ARE USUALLY THE PROBLEM BUT IF NOT GET A BOOK ON YOUR RIG

The motor is usually the first thing to go. It works hard all of the time.

the gearing is gone- by the time u pay for parts and labour you might as well get another one.Appears as if it might be old and something else will go--- etc etc
