The washer will go through all cycles just fine and it does agitate, but it won't spin. I did a continuity test on the lid switch and it passed and just to be safe I also bypassed the lid switch and still won't spin. I also replaced the timer and still won't spin. I can hear the motor running and as I said it will agitate, but just won't ever spin. What could be the problem?
Thanks,

Sam F :(

The textbook says that when you have spin problems on these models you replace the thrust bearing, this part here.

Part number: AP4009132
Part number: AP4009132


and as difficult as it is to believe, in this case the textbook is usually right.
