# Maytag washer not spinning and balance repair

### Refusing and unable are two different machines

On this make it is refusing far more often than it is failing. A load gathered on one side of the drum will be declined, and a single heavy item — a mat, a duvet, one towel — has nothing to sit opposite it. That is demonstrated in front of you rather than written into a report, and it ends a real share of these visits at no cost. What remains is a short list in a fixed order: whether it drained first, because nothing spins on a full drum, then level and suspension, then the lock the machine will not spin without.

What this involves

Refusing and unable are different, and the first is usually free

It cannot spin until it has drained, so a drain problem arrives as a spin problem

Suspension and level are checked on every one of these

Redistribute and spin on its own

Ten minutes, and it ends a real share of these calls in front of the owner rather than in a report.

Whether it drained first

No machine spins on a full drum. A drain problem presents as a spin problem and is priced differently.

Level, feet and suspension

Three feet of four, a floor that flexes, or a suspension that has been working against unbalanced loads for years — the last of which is its own row on this site.

Then the lock, the motor and the control

In that order, because the machine will not spin unless it is sure the lid or door is confirmed.

### It is always the same load that does it.

Then it is balance rather than a part, almost certainly. Bath mats and single duvets are the classic cases because there is nothing else in the drum to counterweight them.

### It has started walking across the floor as well.

That is worth acting on rather than living with. Months of spinning out of balance is what wears a suspension and then a bearing, and the bearing repair is several times this one.
