It started with leaving laundry soaking wet occasionally (when it was full). Then it started to do it every time. As a get-around I started to spin with very few laundry and it would do it some what. Now it wont spin even with a few towels in it. If I try to do spin cycle over and over, I can smell slight friction smell. I opened inside hoping to find a loose belt but no belt (must be a direct drive as I am exploring from forums) Any expert can tell me if it is the motor bad or another inexpensive part that I can replace? thanks.

If so, you either have something caught in the tub, or dragging brake shoes. Shine a lite in the tub and look for something. If nothing, you probably have bad brake shoes and a worn out clutch. You can follow my procedure in the general talk section page 4 You can use a pipe wrench and a heavy hammer to loosen the drive block nut, turn it counterclockwise.
