OK I did the repair work on my Whirlpool washer and replaced:
(1) Washer motor coupling, and
(2) AP3094537 - Clutch assembly.

The washer worked perfectly first two time. Then I found clothes still soaked. Holding the lid open and using screw-driver to see all cycles, I found "SPIN" was the culprit.

So I gave a small push to drum with my hand, and it started rotating and picked up the speed for SPIN. It finished the clothes just perfect.

So the problem is why drum is *not* starting on its own during SPIN cycle? For now, I have a work-around by getting it started by hand, and that seems to have worked so far.

Any insights or solution? Do I need to grease some part?

Almost there....

rickappy, yes I have read your article four times and still donot understand how to change brake shoes. I even printed and showed to my friends with no help. I am engineer and have natural inclinations for fixing things but not sure how to fix a brake shoe! It may not be as easy as changing a part from the explanation. No disrespect to you - Am I the only one who feel this way?

Is there a video on how to replace a brake shoe? Any help from APP?

Also how a brake shoe coming in the way to starting spin drum? What is your confidence level that it is "Brake Shoe" - now that I have replaced everything else.

Can you answer what Brake Shoe has to do with starting a SPIN?

Is this a sure thing? Or should I be looking for something else?

Most probable is bad brake shoes, then busted comb filter under spin basket, then something stuck in the tub. Yes, you are the only one who has trouble replacing brake shoes, you gotta be mechanically inclined.

It is obvious, you are not reading these posts...Try putting a video please.

"maybe it's just me, but this seems pretty complicated for a person who has never worked on a washing machine before. would you agree?
