Washing Machine tub not spinning or draining

01/26/2002 04:15 PM jcpress

My in-laws gave me their old G.E. washing machine. It worked when they moved and we put it into storage for about 6 months. We then loaded it onto a moving truck and drove it about 200 miles to our new home. When I hooked it up, it filled with water fine, but the tub would not rotate during the wash cycle, nor would it go into a spin cycle or empty out the tub (we had to siphon the water out, and there's still some left inside). It's a better machine than the one the previous owners left for us, so I'd like to fix it if it's not too expensive, or even fix it myself. I opened up the back of the machine and can't see any loose wires or belts or anything. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Is it something I can repair myself(I'm relatively handy)? Or, if I need an expert repairman, how much would such a repair cost?

Thanks,
Joel
