Then, I did a load of towels. From afar in the house, I heard a few rhythmic knocks. When the cycle was finished, the towels could have a substantial amount of water rung from them. I ran an empty load to see what was happening. Water fill and drain went well. Agitation was firm and as expected. Then came the spin. It spins, but slowly. Any ideas?

People go to buy this $8 piece of junk and it works for just a couple loads or so and fails. Never buy appliance parts from e bay or amazon. Always buy genuine Whirlpool products, or GE or whatever your model is. Here's the one you want. Compare it to the one you bought and you will see and feel the difference. Eric
