:confused: My Whirlpool washer initially would not spin on the delicate and hand wash cycles. Then the spin started failing in the normal cycle. Sometimes it spins and sometimes it does not. I called a repairman and he told me the timer is bad. I am not sure this is the problem.

I have continued to use the washer and now I have noticed that when agitating, the agitator is getting weaker as the number of minnutes left on the wash cycle decreases. The last time I washed I even smelled a light burning smell.

Any idea what is causing this? I've read that it could be the coupling, the clutch, the transmission, clutch basket drive, tub drive box and so many other possibilities.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on with my washer?

Thanks for your help
