Washer motor turns, drum does not

Whirlpool Ultimate Care II top loading washer. I loosened the rear cover to see what might be the problem but can't tell what is supposed to turn (other than the drum). Cannot really see a belt or what the motor uses to drive the drum. The motor sounds to be spinning at a speed that seems proper both for wash and spin but makes an abnormal noise somewhat like a slight grinding or banging This might be a normal sound for a motor that is basically spinning unloaded.

Please be gentle with me if this is obviously not the problem, but I have made the mistake of running top load washers with the door open (which the washer notices and does not turn the basket. I fixed my problem by loading the washer, adding the detergent while the washing machine was filling and then closing the door. My washer worked fine with the door closed.
Again, please be gentle with me as you rate my helpfulness. OK?

Washer motor runs, but the drum does not spin on the spin cycle

It is most probably the motor coupling if you have a Whirlpool top loader.

Washer will not spin.

May be the coupler between the motor and the transmission.

Whirlpool Ultimate Care II drum does not spin.

Depending on your washing machine model, the drum and motor are connected by 2 plastice yellow circular pieces, with a black rubber washer in the middle with holes where the pegs or rods go into. The 2 plastic circular pieces have 3 pegs or rods if you will, that connect to the black rubber washer via 3 holes. Sometimes, one or both of the 2 plastic circular piece pegs get broken off or the rubber washer cracks and breaks apart, so that the motor will not turn the drum. If thats the case, you can purchase the 2 circular pieces and black washer piece as a set.
