After installing the new motor, the machine will fill, agitate, drain but will not spin. It makes a loud clank as soon as it is trying to switch to spin and then clanks again about 5 seconds later. Then nothing. The pump is still pumping and the motor sounds like it is working, but there is no spinning. Help!!

It will bunch up the clothes while agitating and dump out water.
