Look closely at this pic of a drive block Part number: AP2905773
See how it has two slots and a lip that sets on top of the drive tube. Yours has broken and slid down the drive tube. That is why it won't spin with a load. Also the basket is actually getting closer the the bottom of the tub and will soon rub on it. I need your actual model no. to look up the right drive block for your machine.

Thanks for the help. The model number is 28522700 and serial number CW0340292.
Will I have to replace the spin tube as well? Thanks again for your help.

I would try it with the old spin tube and see if it will hold. Just clean up any rough edges on the spin tube. I would probably clean it very well to remove any grease and maybe use a loctite kind of product to help the drive block lock onto the spin shaft. Tighten the nut pretty tight, just don't get it too tight or you could damage the spin tube bearing. Good luck.

Thanks for your help. Will I damage the new drive block if I don't replace the spin tube? I really don't want to do it twice. Also, any tips on getting the spanner nut off without buying the wrench? That is an expensive tool to only use once? Thanks again

Thanks for all the help. I ended up just replacing the drive block. I should have taken a pic of the new and the old, but the inner ring of the drive block where the two notches are that hook in with the spin tube was completely gone. The two notches from the spin tube had shredded the inside ring of the drive block. Does anyone know what could cause that?
Thanks for your help. I was extremely useful and got my washer back to running. Thanks again
