Thanks for the reply. I actually tapped on the brushes and the washer now spins. I've placed some new brushes on order and will just replace them when they come in.

Replies to your other issues (should probably go in a new thread).

Fabric softener: I had this same issue a few years ago and it reoccurs every couple of years. You are correct, it is related to a clog. To fix the problem you need to remove the detergent tray (pull the tray out, then using your thumb press on the blue plastic "button" and pull the tray completely out). Remove the blue plastic thing. Residue that forms the clog is usually in both the blue plastic piece and the detergent tray. Pipe cleaners and cotton swaps work well for cleaning both pieces. The tray should be cleaned at two points, where the fabric softener pours out and the tube on which the blue plastic piece attaches

Dryer: I haven't had this issue. However, I would be interested to know what the problem is and the final resolution. Below is another link that has good info too, you might check there as well.
