It is not a difficult task but it helps to have a helper and it will take some time. Whirlpool 285790 Clutch Band and Lining Kit - AppliancePartsPros.com

On this model, if the lid switch is bad, it won't agitate, drain or spin. Monitor the washer at end of agitation cycle. After agitation stops, the washer should drain for 2 minutes without spinning. The motor should then stop for a few seconds and start again. At that point, it should start spinning while continuing to drain. If there is no pause of the motor, the timer is bad, otherwise, the problem may be the clutch. You would need to remove the cabinet and bypass the lid switch so you can observe the clutch hub while in spin mode. Eric
