I have an Estate Washer (approximately 7.5 yrs. old) that will not spin. Regardless of what setting I use (i.e.; normal, gentle, perm. press) it will not go through spin cycle. The machine goes through all other cycles (i.e. wash, spin, drain) just fine but will not go through spin cycle. The timer works fine and goes to finish (end). Any help would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

I ran machine througha a cycle and when it came to the spin cycle, I lifted the lid (enough to keep the lid switch engaged) and the drum it turning very, very slowly. Is it still the timer or some other problem (i.e. clutch, brake)? Please advise. Thanks very much.

I apologize, for some reason my previous reply did not post. I opened the lid (completely) and closed it, it still does not spin.

Opened lid, held actuator with screwdriver as instructed. Drum wanted to spin (was moving very, very slowly). When I reached in to rotate drum manually, it rotated and spinned slightly (after I released it) then began to move very, very, slowly again.
