My washer will drain and go into high spin most of the time on the first load.
On the second load and after, it will not go into high spin most of the time.
I have to turn off the washer for 10-15 minutes and then it will go into high spin after I rotate the timer to a rinse/spin setting and it works.
It's like something is getting hot and it has to cool down, then I rotate the timer to a rinse/spin setting for it to drain and high spin.

I would say that the motor switch is overheating, not allowing the unit to go into high spin.

Are you using He detergent?, if not,thats your problem. If you are, use LESS soap. Do you see soap suds when its washing? You should not see SUDS!!!! 90% of the problems I see with these machines is SOAP RELATED!!!!

You might have dragging brake shoes. Remove the pump and motor and turn the tranny coupler clockwise. If very hard to turn when the spin basket engages, you have something stuck in the tub or dragging brake shoes. If you continue to use it, you will burn out the motor.

I am using HE detergent. I always thought I needed to see plenty of suds so I reduced the amount of HE detergent and I haven't had a problem since.
