I have a Kenmore 70 Series Heavy Duty Super Capacity Washing Machine with 3 Speed Motor. Model 11020722990, Series CJ3973199, Type 111. It started to make a whining (almost grinding) noise while agitating and the next day it stopped spinning as it was finishing the spin cycle. It will fill, it makes a loud humming noise but does not agitate, and when it comes to the spin cycle it again sounds like it is working (noisily) but the tub is not moving. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Yours is a 2 speed motor. Does it spin in 2 different speeds. If so, then it most likely is designed with only to agitate in 1 speed. If it only spins in one speed, then your motor is defective
For the slow water issue, you will need to replace the water inlet valve. Here is a link to the part. Could you describe the noise and where it is coming from?
Go to managemylife.com and type in the model number you provided under the "Manuals" link. Your owner's manual is listed in a .pdf (Adobe) format that you can download or print for FREE. I hope this helps you.
Have you checked the drum for residue that may actually prevent it to spin? try to check the cycle selector as well and try to load more clothes... keep us posted, thanks for using fixya!!
