Kenmore Series 90 Plus 110.28942890 brake issue??

I have a washer that will do everything ok except when it goes to stop from a spinning cycle. First time I noticed anything wrong was on the slow cycle when it would stop between cycles. It would go "bang!" and would twist in place. Now when the spin cycle ends and it goes to stop it goes "bam, bam, bam, bam", shaking the house, all the time it is slowing down and seems to take awhile to finally stop. Looking online, I have suspect that I'm needing a clutch-complete or brake & drive tube complete or both. Looking for any insite. Maybe it's time for something new? Help or advice much appreciated.

Check the drive block, that's more likely to be your problem.

Try, walking up to the washer, and grab the tum and twist hard to the left, you won't be able to movee it, but put some good pressure on it, then, open the lid, and hold the door switch down so you can watch the tub, and put it in a spin cycle, and let it get up to speed, and then let go of the switch, and see if it bangs, and twists, if so repeat what I told you, and it should catch, and be fine. Let me know. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

before tearing into machine, I did a little more "investigative work". as the washer goes through its cycles, this banging noise only happens on the "first" spin cycle after the wash. when it fills up for the rinse and spins at the end of the rinse cycle, the banging does NOT happen. i held the top open and watched. it seems the banging was coming from inside the agitator (i guess it's called). so it seems to be related to the particular spin after the wash and not related to the spin after the rinse. any more ideas before i grab the tools?
thanks,

The banging noise, that you are talking about, is this noise occuring as the unit is spining?. Or is it making the noise, when it stops spining? Tom ApplianceEducator.com

the banging noise starts happening right at the end of the spin cycle when the drum is in transition to stopping. NOT when it is actually spinning. and, like i stated, the entire cycle consists of 2 spins (1 in wash, 1 in rinse) and this only happens coming out of the FIRST spin cycle, right before the rinse cycle begins.

I agree. Nat called it right on the money, you to drags. I just needed a little more confirmation. At 50, I guess I am getting a little conservative. Awesome job to all!!! It's great to be in good company. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

you guys been a great help!! I found the diagram, found the part, and am getting ready to order it. just a couple more questions, if you would, so i have a better understanding....
-should i order more than just the block. seems there are parts around it and, if i tear apart i don't want to have to say..oops, shoulda got that other part too.
-lastly, why does it make the banging after the first spin and not the final spin. it would seem it should do it at both times.
thanks again for your help. if this works, ya'll saved me much $$$

The drive block should be ALL you need. Make sure that you get the new block down onto the "tangs" on the spin tube and that you get the Nut TIGHT!!!! You should be all set!!!:D
