If the load size is too small, the Frigidaire washing machine may be forced off-balance, which will prevent the tub from spinning. Open the washer lid and add a few more items of similar color and fabric type to the load if there are only one or two items inside. Close the lid and allow the washer to finish the wash cycle.
When the washing machine will agitate and drain but not spin, the motor coupler might be failing. The motor coupler is a small rubber and plastic device that connects to the motor and the transmission. The coupler can wear out over time and start to fail, which causes the tub to stop spinning.
Another possible reason why the Frigidaire washer won’t spin is a worn-out clutch. The clutch is responsible for the spin speed of the basket. If you have noticed the spin speed slowing over time even when the speed has not been changed on the controls, the clutch may be to blame.
The drive motor on most washers turns in one direction to agitate and in another direction to spin. The drive motor may be broken, causing the motor to spin in the direction necessary for agitation but not in the direction needed to spin. Another possible problem is a defective transmission, which is no longer shifting correctly and will cause a loud sound.
