My washer will not spin and the clothes are all wet.
For model number WTW5500XW2
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not spinning, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the shift actuator, the lid latch assembly, the driver belt, the washer drive pulley, the capacitor and the lid latch strike. You will need to test the electronic parts with a multimeter. For the other parts, you will need to make a visual inspection. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Will not agitate. Spins drains will not agitate
For model number WTW5500XW2
Hello and thank you for writing.
It certainly sounds like it could be a faulty drive pulley PS10057144 and/or possibly a faulty PS11742027, you should check for signs of damage, and replace as necessary. It is recommended to replace both parts at the same time. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Once finding this inform

ation the installation was simple. Remove the clamps and the back of the console, slide the top forward and lift, remove and replace the lock and reassemble. You don't even have to remove the hoses.
