I have a Whirlpool Model # LBR4132 J01
The spin cycle seems very slow. The clothes come out very wet since it does not spin up t speed. I checked all drain lines from the tub to pump and from pump to drain. I even pulled the pump and inspected it. Seems fine. Next I did as suggested and filled the tub and watched it drain. It does start spinning at the same time it's pumping the water out. However, it does drain COMPLETELY.But the spin cycle seems to be to slow to wring the water out of the load. I was wondering if it's a 2 speed motor or a problem with the transmission. I noticed that there is a loud clunk sound when it starts into spin. Louder than I think would be normal.
I'm wondering if it's worth it to remove the transmission and overhaul the clutches or brakes, or replace the transmission. Is it cost efficient to repair. Or better to replace the washer?
