My amana ntw4650yq0 does not spin. Makes strange noise, does not start to spin. Lid lock light flashes. I replaced the shift actuator, and ran it through diagnostic mode. Stopped at spin cycle again with lid lock light flashing. Lid locks during beginning part of the cycle and works all the way through the wash cycle. Problems start at drain & spin cycle. Help please! Before I take this thing to the range & destroy it. Lol
I’d go for #4 first. Solution 1: Drive Belt Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it. Solution 2: Clutch The clutch assembly makes the connection between the transmission and the inner tub. It helps the tub to gradually get up to the proper spin speed. If the clutch is worn out, it may prevent the tub from spinning. The clutch is not repairable—if the clutch is worn out, replace it. Solution 3: Transmission The washer transmission might be worn out or defective. Transmissions have gears in them that can fail causing the washer to not spin. However, this is almost never the case. Before replacing the transmission, first check all of the other more commonly defective parts. Solution 4: Door Lock Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is broken, replace it. The door strike is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.
