Hi.

Does the washer agitates on spin ?

Simon.

[pepito]

yes, but inner tub does not move during rinse and to final wash.

Hi.

The inner tub suppose to spin (move) only during the Spin cycle. So, does the washer spin at all when you turn the timer to Spin?

Simon.

[pepito]

no.only agitator moves.

Open the front panel using the putty knife (two clips at the top) and check if the motor reversing when you change cycle from wash to spin.

Simon,

Finally got a chance to look at the machine. In the SPIN cycle, I could not tell if the motor reversed but I could see the TUB rotate clockwise but spins like something is holding it back to do a fast spin. I've repeated this several times and couple of times the TUB didn't even spin at all, although the agitator spun.

just inquiring!!!

Hi.

There is an even chance that it's a bad thrust bearing or the transmission.
The bearing job is much less $$ and easier too.
