So, the water will drain from the tub, but the tub won't spin? Does the motor and pulley spin when the spin cycle is selected? Was there any odd noises coming from the washer during the spin cycle when it was spinning correctly? If so, it sounds like the tub bearing might have frozen up. There's 2 belts. One goes to the pump (right front of the cabinet) and the other goes to the transmission (middle of the machine). Which belt did you replace? | ||

Have the belts ever been replaced?
Usualy as a rule,the Maintanance calls for the belts and intake hoses to be replaced. If you look underneath and see the belts are shiny or stiff,not flexible,that may be the problem. I would elevate the front and be sure it's stabilised and turn the washer on to spin.If the belt slips and the motor runs,replacing the belts should work fine.If not then your trans is probably in need of replacement.The only other issue would be a particle of clothing stuck in between the inner and outer tubs causing the tub not to spin but usualy,if that's the case,the belt's strain would cause a burning rubber smell and eventualy,like with an upright vacuum that one tried using to pick up a paper towel,break and need replacement.I hope everything works out!
