Hello, I have an "old" Kenmore washer that is getting finicky. It will wash okay but sometimes when it enters the spin cycle it will lock out on the motor overload. If I wait for it to reset and try to restart it in spin it will sometimes start ok, sometimes try to agitate and spin at the same time. When I put the washer in spin cycle with the tub empty it starts okay but I can hold the tub from spinning without much effort.

My appliance book suggests the motor coupler but I suspect the clutch is getting going south or maybe the clutch spring is getting weak. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you in advance.
