Thank you. In one of the tests I took the water pump off but kept the motor in place and observed the direction the motor. It turned counter clockwise during agitate, clockwise during drain and counter clockwise during the spin cycle. I can hear some metal sound in between end of drain and beginning of the spin cycles but the tub would not turn.

Go ahead and get the motor off and you will see the problem. A broken drive coupling.

Thank you. Coupling ok. Lid switch bypassed ok. Two timers used during different tests. Also two capacitors used. Also two transmission/brake clutch used---In both cases washer will fill ok, agitate ok, drain, ok but not spin even when tub is manually turned during spin. Motor taken outside and ran washer---motor turned ok after fill stops without hesitation. In agitate motor turned counter clockwise. In drain, motor turn clockwise. In spin motor turn counter clockwise. When motor reinstalled and tested, same problem--fill, agitate, drain but no tub spin. Help.

I hate to sound like a broken phono record. Everything tested out fine. The motor will turn in spin but the two trans will not turn tub. Timer from a known good identical unit used, same. Now what?

Remove the outer panel, jump the lid switch and observe the clutch housing above the tranny. If it spins in spin mode, but basket will not turn, you have a worn clutch and probably bad brake shoes. This is assuming you have a direct drive washer. Post results.

The ear on the cam driver may be broken off and not realeasing the brake or the basket drive itself might be bad. Door latch in integrated models 2.doc (1,402kb) downloaded 31 time(s).SublimeMasterJW attached the following image(s):

Thank you again. Last I noticed that ear was good on both trans/clutch/brake assemblies but one was pretty oily, the other frozen and I have tomanually turn it loose. I will check again and advise. I will also perform the lid switch test and advise.
