Gentle cycle and Permanent Press cycle both work fine.

Normal Wash has 4 sections:

Wash
Spin
Rinse
Spin -- doesn’t work; the washer remains full of water from the rinse
cycle and the knob moves, but the washer does nothing.

I’m thinking it needs a new timer. What say ye? Anything else I need
to consider and check before I buy a new timer?

our OLD washer had 4 cycles too..over time the various functions began to
fail, one by one til only had the Gentle cycle would work all the way thru.
I called a local appliance repair place and they said 'replacement' was the
answer. I took the old one out and it had probably 20-30 sets of contact
"points" in there.. Now if I wanted to take a "points file"... (Does
anyone here even know/remember what points or a points file is ?)
It cost somewhere around $ 90.00 IIRC.. Put it in and everything worked fine
after that for the next 5 years til we sold the house.

Test the lid switch first. A bad lid switch will prevent spin.

Wait, did you say it goes through the first spin after wash? Then
maybe you're right, timer.

Yeah. It does the first spin but doesn't do the 2nd one. Is there
even anything else it could be??

Thanks for the help.

This may sound stupid, but are you sure you don't have an out of
balance load? If so, the machine will go into "tilt" mode and stop
spinning and stop pumping, but the timer will keep running. You come
down to the machine thinking that it's completed the cycle because the
timer is off and find a tub full of water.

Either remove the clothes or rebalance the load and try it again.

Talk to the gurus at repairclinic.com for advice and parts. Their web
site is very good for general info, too. Good luck.

I was thinking the lid safety switch.

Had a similar problem on an Admiral/Maytag. Get a new timer.

If it is a mechanical timer, take it out, and clean the contacts with a fine
fingernail file or sander.

Just jiggleing the connector on the timer has solved problems for me in the
past, also.

If you are going to clean the contacts use something like a fresh
dollar bill soaked in isopropyl alcohol pressured between the
contacts.

Haven't had a chance to check it out yet. Life always seems to get in
the way : )


Bit of an update. As we ran it this evening we can hear the timer and
it seemed to click right through the second spin cycle but never
activated it. Not sure where to go from here. Still could be the
dirty contact points I guess.

I have a point file.

It cost somewhere around $ 90.00 IIRC..

That's an awful lot for a point file. I'll sell you mine for 45,
shipping included.

Put it in and everything worked fine
after that for the next 5 years til we sold the house.

Good to know.

If it's a mechanical timer, if it does the first spin, the contracts
are most likely ok. There's very likely only one set of spin
contacts, but several cams that close them. Maybe you can figure out
something when you have a good look at the timer.

BTW, do you have a second spin in the other cycles? I know sta-press
has two on a whirlpool.

I doubt there is any difference between the first spin and the second,
except a different cam to move the contracts. I don't know what the
cams look like on your machine (and it's been close to 30 years since
I saw them on a machine like mine.)
