washing machine won't stop spinning

My top load whirlpool washing machine won’t stop spinning on the final cycle. It would literally spin for hours unless I manually shut it off. The water drains, but it continues to spin. Do I need to replace some sort of timer??

What is the model number of your washer?

I am not sure where to find the model number. The only thing close to a model number I could find was on the inside lid and it said - SM8525079 Rev A Could that be a model number??

That’s not the model number. It should be under the lid on the top panel.

Just checked and my whirlpool washer doesn’t have the serial number/make located there???!

Check on the back of the control panel or the back panel of the washer. If you can’t find it, we can’t help you.
