Kenmore 80 series washer (old)

Fills, Agitates, Drains

Does not Spin

When in Spin cycle, sounds like placing a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle with a clothespin

Looking for an online manual that will show me what is happening, why, and either steps to fix or replace the part or an exploded part view so I can resolve this on my own.

Having someone to come out will cost the price of a new/used washer and don't really want to buy one either.

Thank you

You have a bad solenoid, most likely, but you will need a meter to check it out.
