One ~ 0:22 Washing machine does not spin ~ caused by broken lid switch.
Two ~ 1:05 Agitator not agitating ~ caused by broken agitator dogs.
Three ~ 1:50 Clogged drain line ~ caused by penny or item down drain.
Four ~ 2:01 Water leak ~ many different causes, loose hose, cracked pump, etc..
Five ~ 2:09 Washer wobbling ~ most often cause is items out of balance.

00:14 Ok today I wanted to go over the five most common problems with washing
00:18 machines with you
00:19 the number one
00:20 most often problem with washing
00:22 machines is a washing machine that doesn't drain or spin
00:26 most often caused by a broken lid switch
00:29 you should hear a click
00:31 as this goes into place
00:34 If you don't hear that click then your
00:37 or if your washing machine is not going into its final cycles
00:41 it's most often this lid switch here
00:45 sometimes you can just press on this right side
00:48 and get it to engage the switch also occasionally you can just adjust the post a little bit
00:53
uh... so that the post will stick further
into the switch which will engage the switch also
00:57 sometimes you can just adjust the switch or tighten it up
01:01 often it needs to be replaced I have a video on that
01:05 second most often problem with
01:08 washing machines often goes undetected
01:10 something you'd probably want to check regularly is that your agitator
01:14 dogs are working properly
01:16 what it should do is turn the bottom one-way or the other so
01:21 this one is turning it like it should
01:23 and the aggitator dogs are functioning now if it's
not doing that than your clothes are just getting rinsed
01:28 they are not really getting washed
01:29 it is an often missed
01:32 problem with washing machines
01:33 and its probably very common because the agitator dogs inside here are
01:38 designed to break if someone's arm was to get stuck in here or if something
01:43 was to bind up too much the agitator dogs will actually strip on purpose as a safety mechanism
01:50
third most common problem with washing
machines is
01:53 a clogged pump
01:55 at the impeller
01:56
sometimes a penny or a button or
01:59
something else, a bobby pin
02:01 whatever goes down the drain line and gets stuck at the pump. Fourth most common
02:05 problem
02:06 is a leak. Most often leaks occur
02:09 up on the left side. Fifth most common problem is a washing machine out of
02:13 balance. Now the most often cause of the machine being out of balance
02:18 is just a matter of redistributing the clothes. Usually a towel or
02:22 something gets on one side and you hear the whump whump whump whump of
02:25 the machine
02:26 what you need to do is open the lid
02:28 and than go ahead and readjust the clothing or go ahead and readjust the towel
02:32 uh... readjust the items in the bin to get a more balanced
02:36 and then go ahead and run it again see if it
02:38 works out and you have no more
02:40 out of balance deal sometimes you could lose a spring most often times it's just that the
02:46 machines out of balance
02:47 eventually I'll have to make you a video showing you how to reset the spring
if it did come off
02:51 there is three different shocks and then
there is a spring
02:54 that holds the machine basin in place
02:57 now the way to check if your machine is still in balance is just ahead and run it
03:01 empty with water
03:02 let the water fill up
03:04 if the machine finds its balance than you know it was just a matter of the clothes
03:08 or the laundry items
03:09 being out of balance
03:12 anyway that is the five most common problems with washing machines
