My whirlpool calypso is spinning as its trying to nutate. Is there a tub brake on these? Any suggestions as to where to start? | ||

Look at this I do not know about this washer myself but on page 49 it talks about your problem I think. CLICK HERE TO GO TO coldspot's LINK | ||

This machine IS nutating but it sounds like the tub is indexing as it does. Are you saying the tub is just turning while it nutates, or is it going into a full fledged high speed spin? Paging Dadoes, Paging Dadoes.... | ||

The machine is nutating, but as it does, the movement of the clothes and the wash plate makes the tub start turning .. it ends up spinning (at a fairly decent speed) while it nutates. | ||

 The basket seems to be free-spinning (not braked) and spins "sympathetically" with the nutation motion? Can you hold it still? The wash plate tilts properly for nutation and levels for spin? As you'll see upon perusing the service manual that Coldspot linked, there is a brake on the basket drive mechanism. Requires considerable disassembly to access the components. | ||

CALYSPO WASHER The tub brake may have failed this happens at times. If you lift the lid when the machine is spinning full speed and if it takes more than a few seconds to stop the brake is not engaging. I have had a few do this when part of the brake linkage sticks, some times lubricating these parts will restore brake function without major disassembly. | ||
