Our machine is a Kenmore branded version of the Frigidaire front loader clothes washer. Purchased in 2001. Worked flawlessly until 2008 when I replaced water drain pump. In April 2009 replaced back half of tub to replace bearings and seal w/ new unit from AppliancePartsPro.com. Worked great for a couple of weeks and now will not spin. Agitates fine and pumps out the water, just no spin. During the spin cycle the drum does the slow back and forth as if preparing to spin, but then cycles off. Took to the local repair shop and they thought it was the motor control board, but would be "very expensive". Did not repair and brought it back home and ordered the part ourselves from appliancepartspro. Part came in today and put it on - still no spin. Old motor control board actually looks very good and the fuse is good (ohmed out fine). Motor runs great and is quiet and smooth. Machine is very clean (and my wife uses the heck out of it every day). I need some help here - what can I do to make this machine spin the way it should? The wife is getting very anxious... Thanks for your help.

Check out my post Frigidaire Washer Won't Spin and see if yours is doing the same thing. A little easier to replace and a whole lot cheaper than a motor controller.
