The solenoid seems to work. I was able to spin it freely by hand, but it slows back down to a slow spin. The set screw seems to be tight. Has the transmission gone, or just a seal? :confused:

The number you posted is the serial number. Would it stop spinning if you hold the basket? Gene.

This is a Canadian washer. The C might denote Canada? It was made by Whirlpool for Kenmore. Yes the basket stops if I hold it.
