GE Hydrowave washer doesn't go into high spin speed

Our GE Hydrowave washer began not spinning as fast in the spin cycle thus the clothes were still quite wet after the cycle. In addition it was leaking a little water in the bottom & was getting noisier. This began about 10 days ago. After taking off the front panel I found a couple of ball bearings in the bottom.
I ended up replacing the Mode Shifter & Shaft Assembly (it was totally torn apart), the tub bearing & washer, the tub seal, the split washer, & the hub nut. All together about $200 & my time.
The unit is now much quieter & is not leaking but still does not spin at a high enough speed. I've read that error code #9 is a brake resistor problem & the controller will limit the spin cycle to 50 rpms. I checked for error codes via the motor RED LED but it is operating normal. I did reset the motor just to be sure but it still shows normal operation.
Not sure what to do as I assume it is either the motor or something in the control panel. Definitely don't want to replace the $200 plus motor unless I know that is the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
