The agitation and spinning action of a washing machine is done through a transmission. The transmission is usually actuated by a solenoid (electrical coil that moves a metal slug when energized) that operates a cam (piece of metal with slots in it or shapes across the top of it that operates different levers when it moves).





One of a few things could have happened. Either the solenoid burned out, so it won't operate the cam; there's a fault in the timer that prevents it from energizing the solenoid; the cam broke or came loose; or the transmission itself is broken. And, I would think that the probability of failure is in that order.Whirlpool washer quit working? ANY HELP?
mine does the same thing but ive found that after the load is done complete a rotation on the dial ending on 2nd spin it will do its thing.
if it has a burning smell more then likely your belt broke
Firstly, Whirlpools haven't used belts in over 20 years. If your washer won't agitate, the rubber coupler between the motor and transmission may have broke. If you tip the machine back you would see bits of rubber on the floor. If it agitates but won't go into spin, you have a broken lid switch, located the under the top panel on the right side of the tub. If you lift the lid and look underneath it towards the back you'll find the model/ serial numbers to order parts. Here's some instructional links you might find helpful.
