Washer will fill, agitate, and drain, but will not spin in either regular, permanent press, handwash, or quick-wash modes.
Understand that motor turns one way to agitate and then reverses to spin. Motor does not reverse. Suspect either the main timer switch or the switch mounted on top of the motor.
What would you recommend to further diagnose?:coffee:

If the machine is draining, the motor is reversing. The motor runs in reverse for drain and spin. I would check the belt and tensioner. Also check to see if the brake pads are releasing. There may be a problem with the brake assembly not releasing to allow the tub to spin. There also could be something caught in between the spin basket and outer tub.
