The wash and rise cycles work properly. At the end of the rinse cycle and the beging of the final Spin cycle the motor starts making a clicking noise as though a magnetic contactor opens and close and causes the motor to speed up and slow down for about a minute. After a minute the motor engages and starts to work normal and spins with no problems.

I disasembled the washer to inspected the Pump, and found it to be in good working order. Then I removed the motor and the Gearcase. Inspected the gearcase, the clutch and and the brake shoes and did not find any problems.

I finally jumpered the lid switch, connected the motor to the elec. harness but did not install it to to the gearcase, and set it to the side. I set the timer to the begining of the final spin cycle, and the motor started to do the same clicking noise, it would speed up and slow down for about a minute until it finally engaged and started working normal.

At this point I do not believe it is a mechanical problem, but an electrical issue. Could it be that the motor, or motor switch or the timer is bad?

Please help........

I replaced timer, and the new timer corrected the problem. Washer is back to normal.
Thank you.
