Remove the lid lock catch and place it in the lock. Start the cycle with clothing in the machine and observe what the machine is doing or not doing. These machines don't wash that well as they use very little water. They also put LOTS of wear on clothing that lays on top of the agitator disc. However, they do spin at a fairly fast speed so you should have no soggy clothing at the bottom of the tub.

Mine is doing the same thing. I opened it up to see what was happening and it was the drive belt tension arm bumping around. Soon, the belt started slipping during the spin cycle. Now it won't spin and the belt starts to smolder from the friction of the drive motor. If you haven't checked your belt, that's a good place to start.

Take wash plate out and inspect splines. They may be stripped.
