Door Lock & Switch Assembly
The control board requires a verified 'Locked' signal from the latch's internal microswitch before allowing the motor to ramp up to spin RPMs. If the solenoid or wax motor fails to fully engage the locking bolt, the circuit remains open, and the spin cycle is bypassed for safety. This is the most frequent electrical cause for a washer failing to initiate the spin phase.

Drive Belt
This model utilizes a Poly-V belt to transfer torque from the motor to the drum pulley. Overloading the drum or simple material fatigue can cause the belt to stretch, slip, or snap. If the motor is operational (indicated by a faint humming or high-pitched whine) but the drum remains stationary, the mechanical link has likely failed.

Drain Pump Assembly
The wash cycle's logic prohibits high-speed spinning if the pressure transducer detects water remaining in the outer tub. If the drain pump impeller is blocked by debris or the pump motor has failed, the machine will 'stall' at the beginning of the spin cycle and eventually time out to prevent a flood or catastrophic vibration from an unbalanced wet load.
