I have a Kitchenaid washer. It drains but does not spin. I pulled the front cabinet off and found black rubber underneath it. I know it's direct drive, does it have a belt that needs to be replaced or is it a clutch or something like that. Is it worth fixing as I have had 5 porcelain tubs in 10 years as they rust out. Any help will be appreicated.

Pull pump and motor, the coupler will probably be broken. If so get a new one with the steel inserts, they don't fail.

Thanks Betty and Appyguy I pulled the motor and pump off and sure enough the plastic coupler and rubber gasket were sheared off, you just saved me a fortune. Kitchenaid was going to chrage me $77.95 for the first 15 minutes. Your awesome

It worked and now it runs like a charm thanks for the help

Spoke too soon. Now when ever I try and turn it on its blows the circuit and won't stay running. Did I do something wrong

Does it blow the breaker as soon as you plug it in, or when you select spin.

Fixed it, a pin was bent went I plugged the motor back in

Thanks for the advice, for the 16 bucks it cost me for a part. Was easy to fix. Thanks to all I'll keep coming back here I now know the inetrnal works of my machine and it's not that hard to fix, could not have done it without the help I received here. Thanks Again.
