The lid switch on your Speed Queen washer needs to be engaged in order for the spin cycle to commence. For safety reasons, they are programmed not to spin if the lid is open, and if there is an issue with the lid switch the machine might incorrectly sense that the lid is open, even when it isn’t. To check this:
Washing machines have a sensor that prevents the spin cycle from starting until the tub has fully drained. If your drain pump is clogged and preventing your washer from draining, this could be the cause of your spin cycle problem. To fix this:
If you can’t find a clog, try moving on to the next step in our guide.
Your Speed Queen washing machine has a motor coupler that acts as a safety stop, protecting the motor in case of a jam. If this coupler is damaged, it could prevent your spin cycle from running.
The drive belt is what connects the motor to the tub and allows it to spin. Just like with belts in your car, they can get worn out and lose their integrity after a lot of use. A good indication that this is your problem is if your spin cycle is working a little, but not doing the job properly. To fix this issue:
An issue with the control board is often to blame for the spin cycle not engaging. This is often a catastrophic error for a washing machine, and in most cases will require a new washer. However, if you’re an expert DIYer and are happy to spend the time and money needed to fix this issue, follow these steps.
