5 year old Whirlpool washer - doesn't spin fast enough to drain water from clothes. The only time it will do a decent job is if the load is really light.
Had a repair guy by yesterday - for over 100.00 he told me the motor probably needs replacing...but couldn't or wouldn't do it then, and didn't know the cost.
Is it the motor....or a coupling?
Is this something I can do....or should I call them back? I will not pay the initial service fee of 72.00 to walk in the house...but at 25.oo per 15 minutes....it could get pricey.
It is not an old washer but gets lots of use - 4 kids and me.
I just don't want to pay hundreds of dollars if it makes more sense to buy a new one....but don't want to do that either.
He didn't even check the coupler or the motor.

Please help -
thanks
Kim
