I watched the washer fill with it on small load and it never quit. I turned the knob to spin cycle, the washer drained but did not spin. There were no weird noises or smells. I tilted the washer back so I could check the coupling and it seemed to be in great shape and I could turn it by hand in both directions. I also checked the clutch/brake assembly and it was warm. Could this be a water limit switch problem? I am not for sure what to check next. Any help would be appreciated.

It's not clear if it's overfilling and what do you do to stop it? When the washer is draining open and close the lid.Does it start spinning? Thank you. Post the results. Simon.

I have to manually move the selector knob over to spin to get it to drain. While it is draining I opened and closed the lid, several times just to be on the safe side, and it does not spin.

Also, it may just get disconnected from the water level switch. If the hose checks OK - you need a new water level switch.
