I have a whirlpool top loader that does not like to spin. If I open the lid, hold down the switch while it's on the spin mode, THEN help it start spinning, it will take off. It does not seem to want to begin spinning on it's own.
I did replace the clutch, hoping that was the problem. Before I did this, it wouldn't spin at all, even with my help.
It does not have any issues agitating or draining.
I wonder if I have to replace the gear box?
