I have a 2 yr old GE front load and had the same issues. I solved it by cleaning out the drain filter. (It is not listed anywhere in the manual) It was behind the bottom front panel. It looked like a plastic gas cap. I unscrewed it and it was filled with a huge amount of lint, tweezers, change and all other junk from my kids pockets. Apparently if the washers have to much water in them they will not spin out due to the weight. Once the drain was cleared out and the water was free to drain it worked like brand new.

sounds like you have a broken motor coupling between the motor and transmission

"F21" is a Long Drain error code. The following link explains:

In most cases this is simply caused by a clogged drain pump and all that is required is a good cleaning. Read through the instructions provided in the link on how to do this. Make sure the washer is unplugged while servicing any of the internal components.

If the problem persists, you may have a drain pump that is malfunctioning or is damaged. The manufacturer recommends replacing the pump if this is the case.

Let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps you.

SOURCE: 15+ year old Whirlpool top loading washer spin cycle broken.

Check the solenoid operation on the outer one that operates the spin bar. There are two solenoids that move back and forth all the time when running called wig wag solenoids. Check for broken wires and movement of the outer slide bar that shifts to make spin. It may need lubrication. Go to www.appliancepartspros.com to get a diagram.

harborstuff,
The code on your machine stands for 'Long Drain'. Ld flashes if it takes longer than 5 minutes to pump out water to a point where the operating pressure switch resets. I would bet that the bath mats left a bunch of stuff stuck in the recirculation pump hose, or pump itself, and the water cannot be drained fast enough. Check the intake and exit hoses of the recirc pump. It's easiest to get to the pump through the front panel of the machine(click here). Looks like this: click here. Hope this helps.
(Definitely get under there and check to make sure the pump hoses are not clogged. At $129 it's an expensive fix for a $10 bath mat that clogged up the hose with fuzz. 'know what I'm sayin'' :o) )

BTW, I have the maintenance manual & have experience at replacing the recirc. pump, control board, motor board, touchpad, & lid switch so far.
