The common issue with won't spin and won't drain is the lid switch. That's what I would go for first.
Here's the service manual on your machine: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/895199/...

Most Frequent Causes for Washer won't drain
Cause 1
Drain Pump
Sometimes, small objects or articles of clothing can get caught in the drain pump. To determine if anything is blocking the drain pump, remove the drain pump and check the pump for obstructions. If the drain pump is clear of obstructions, but is still noisy during the drain cycle, replace the drain pump.
Cause 2
Clogged Pump or Hose
Sometimes, socks and other small articles of clothing can get into the drain system and clog the pump hose or the pump itself. Remove the hoses from the pump and check for any obstructions.
Cause 3
Lid Switch Assembly
The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not drain. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

Cause 2
Motor Coupling
The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.
Cause 3
Drive Belt
Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.

I need help!! I have a Haier Rwt350aw (top loader, belt driven) It agitates and drains (most of time) and spins sometimes. At first, it was making a weird noise. I ended up changing the drain pump (propeller came loose) It drained and worked for a tiny bit an then would stop at the spin cycle (no spinning) and stay there. I change the computer (for lack of a better word) and still nothing. The motor works fine. I'm starting to think it may be the clutch (i can usually fix things but this has thrown me for a loop) I leave it uplugged and it will work sometimes once i plug it back in. I've spent a bit of money on this machine and it still doesnt work. AHHHH!!!!

I have a GE washer I tested the motor and door switch they are both working fine but it will not spin or agitate when on any load cycle what else could be the problem

I have a GE washer, top load. has always worked great (almost 20 years) and looks brand new. Last week started making a very weird noise during rinse. Noise stopped during spin and wash was fine. Yesterday, PROBLEM. It filled up and agitated fine. But would not drain or spin. When I moved dial to the rinse cycle, it agitated some more (but still with wash water). I couldn't do anything with it, messing with dial and stuff so I had to shut it off. My clothes are still in there and so is all the water! No draining at all!
