Washer stops before the first spin cycle after it has drained and continues when I spin the dial a bit.

Joe, remove panel to get access to outside of outer tub. You will see a "bell" with a soft 3/8 clear line coming from it. That is your water pressure hose and it goes to a switch in the control panel. Remove one side from the bell housing, outer tub, and check for gookus. Clean out all obstructions. If there isn't any obstruction in the line, you need a new pressure switch up in control panel. There is a small chance that there is something on the inside of the outer tub which is obstucting air bell but I don't see this very often. Hope this helps,

CHANGE THE LID SWITCH

Replace your lid switch.
The machine must have a goodd lid switch to continue timer functions after wash and rinse.

hi!! you have a bad washer timer..good luck

lid switch also function as safety lever lock. its a 2 way lever contact switch. replace it.

If you can hear the motor during the agitate cycle, the the transmission has stripped gears.

its either the upper spin bearing or lower spin bearing. the upper can be replaced by itself but the lower requires the transmission the be replaced

The transmission might have locked up causing the motor to overheat.

Check out your outlet filter, probable it is clogged. Clean this out and refit. Most cases when the drain or spin does not work, it is the filter. This is a suggestion.

Probably a stripped gear in the transmission.
