The agitation cycles seem to operate properly but when it comes to the spin cycles the water drains then the washer motor sounds like it is spinning but when you open the lid the motor brakes but the drum was never spinning. I depress the lid switch and give the drum a starter push and will then spin up to speed until the next cycle starts.

When my washer did this the belt needed to be replaced

Hi, in regards to the washer not spinning, I have seen this before and it's not uncommon problem in the appliance repair world. I've been in the repair biz in Boise for 30 years. So, here we go, you could have a couple of problems.
The clutch could be worn. If it is, it's not gripping the washer spin tube enough. Another is a piece of clothing stuck between the outer and inner basket, giving drag to the spin tube and clutch. The third is the spin tube itself, which encompasses the brake. The brakes could be dragging. I've seen this often. Oh, one more, the motor could be weak. I haven't seen this very often but it's a real possibility. Hope this helps, I know it's a lot. The cost on replacing the spin tube is 300 plus, from a pro. You may want to invest in another washer though, if it's old.
