Whirlpool Washer Won’t Spin? Check the Splutch

Whirlpool washer agitates but won't spin? Nine times out of ten the splutch assembly is the cause — and most techs don't actually know what's inside it. The splutch is the mechanism that shifts a Whirlpool-style washer between agitate and spin. When it sticks, the agitator and spin tube fight each other and the basket never spins up. In this video I take one completely apart, walk through every cam and lever, and show you how to tell whether yours needs replacing or just a clean and lube. In this video: — What the splutch assembly is and how it shifts between agitate and spin — How to remove the belt, capacitor, and pulley to access the splutch — A full disassembly of the splutch — shift actuator, cams, and internal components — How to identify whether the splutch is seized, worn, or just needs lubrication — How to reassemble and test the repair — Applies to Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Conservator, Kenmore, and other VMW-platform machines 👉 Whirlpool/Maytag/Kenmore Washer Diagnostic Guide: https://harperknowles.gumroad.com/l/d... ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:17 What the Splutch Is 0:45 Removing the Belt 1:07 Removing the Capacitor 2:34 Pulley & Shift Actuator 6:00 How the Splutch Shifts Between Agitate and Spin 8:01 Internal Cams Explained 9:46 Diagnosing a Stuck Splutch (Lubrication Alternative) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛒 SPLUTCH & SHIFT ACTUATOR PARTS ON AMAZON Some links in this description are affiliate links.
