Typically when a washer does not spin it is because it cannot drain. For safety reasons the unit will not spin if the drain hose/drain pump is blocked or faulty. This saves you from seeing water leaks everywhere. Turn the unit off, try to get to the underneath drain hose and pump area. There should be a coin trap (debris trap) underneath the front panel. See if you notice anything in their that can constrict water flow. Retry the unit. Look for any flashing lights, audible beeps or displayed alpha-numeric error codes and let me know!
