No that one isn't working either. Is it a top loading washer or front load washer?

Customer replied 946 days and 10 hours ago.

Top load

Ok Than it sounds like to me is your lid switch is defective.If the lid switch is defective, your washer can't spin. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.

If it was the lid switch, the transmission would not click

The clicking is the lid switch failing to let the washer spin. This is a common problem and the least expensive to fix. Lets start with that and if that doest work we will move forward from there.
