When a Whirlpool washing machine refuses to both agitate and spin, it points to a major drivetrain or safety interlock failure. The most frequent culprits include a snapped or severely stretched motor drive belt, a failed shift actuator mechanism that cannot engage transmission gears, a defective lid lock switch preventing motor activation, or a completely stripped transmission clutch. To diagnose this safely, unplug the appliance, remove the rear service panel, and inspect the lower belt and drive pulley system.
