If your washer is indeed a WFL2066, than the not spinning is directly relatedto the unit not draining.
These machines by design cannot spin if the drain is inadequate.
Here is the first step in resolving the problem, you need to access the drainpump/filter to clean it.
To reach the filter and clean it...
**Unplug the washer from the dryer or wall, or turn off the 30amp breakerat the home service panel...safety first**
1) Open the small square plastic door at the right bottom of thewasher.
2) Via the small hose drain any access water from the pump...this is where awet/dry shop-vac comes in handy, or a shallow pan with a few towels works a swell.
3) Then turn the pump insert/button trap counter clock-wise and pull out.Clean the trap out thoroughly running it under hot water and mild soap or your washer detergent and inspect inside the pump for any other foreign objects/obstructions.
4) Re-install the lint trap insuring it is good and snug/tight. Before closing up the small access door, run a short rinse spin cycle to check frleaks.
Let me know how you make out, or if you require further assistance.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France, '....water in drum won't drain'
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motorfilter and the drain motor ;-0)
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play. It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Remove the dispenser from the m/c, and thoroughly strip and clean every part. fill the conditioner compartment with water to the top, and the water should syphon away to leave it empty.
Get a piece of thin stiff wire , make a hook on the end, and poke it into all the holes you can see in the top of the conditioner compartment, this will unblock any that are clogged up.
Should solve your problem
Plz leave feedback.

your soap drawer is most likely to be blocked , the only true way of clearing the blockage is to take the soap dispenser completely out . you will see that all the jets will be blocked ,you can do this before taking it all apart by taking the drawer out band looking up, if it looks clean ie; no black gunge then it may be a water valve problem, as the cold fill side has 2 internal valves both have come on together to clear the conditioner compartment.
fault may be tacho on motor fallen off or round magnet that turns inside the tacho coil has become unscrewed. remove motor and check tacho. it is located at opposite end to the belt pulley
Potential causes and fixes:
Battery Terminal Corrosion:
Cause: If your Bosch laser receiver has been submerged in water, the battery contacts and sometimes the circuit board may have corroded.
Fix:
Remove the batteries and clean the battery terminal contacts.
Pry open the bottom cover and clean any corrosion on the circuit board.
Calibration Issues (for Bosch GLL 2-20):
Cause: Dropping the Bosch GLL 2-20 can lead to misalignment and errors.
Fix:
The best way to address this problem is to calibrate the laser level.
You can either contact the Bosch service center or follow the calibration instructions in the manual.
General steps for calibrating a laser level with a misaligned pendulum:
Remove the screws and outer cover.
Locate the pendulum hanging in its stationary position.
Remove the glass window of the laser level.
Adjust the stationary position of the hanging pendulum using the main adjustment screw.
Fine-tune right-left adjustments using other smaller adjustment screws.
Reassemble the laser level.
Cracked Glass Lens (for Bosch GLL 2-50):
Cause: If the horizontal glass lens is cracked, it affects accuracy and safety.
Fix:
Unfortunately, this problem is often unrepairable.
It's advisable to replace the laser level to ensure safe operation1.
Remember to lock your laser level when not in use or during transportation to prevent pendulum movement1. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Bosch for professional assistance or repair
That is the main bearing worn with so much play that a heavy load will stop it going around and normal wash will grind from time to time.
Bosch use very well made bearing so you might get more out of it before the bearing crashes completely.
Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved to Bosch Washing Machine category.
Easy enough to do, a connector, two hoses and mounting bolts.
