Help!I have a cabrio washer M# wtw5550xw2 1.5 yrs old and has started shutting down in spin cycle. At first i could turn it to drain and spin cycle and it would spin now it shuts down in that cycle also. I found the service maual and did some tests. Spin cycle shuts down in the auto mode, but spins normally in the manual test mode. You can hear erractic shifting just before it shuts down. It does not matter if you have 1 shirt or 5 sweaters in the basket. Thinking main control board or shifter?

Update replacing the shifter has fixed the problem. My cost $53.00.
