I have read that if the pump is not draining the tub completely, there is an interlock that prevents the high speed spin from engagin. I have had debris caught in my pump several times (kids!!) with similar issues. There is a trap on the line leading from the tub to the pump which is "supposed" to capture debris, but it doesn't work all that well. Check your pump.....

most likely something is stuck in the pump. it could also be that you are not using high effiency detergent.

I just had this problem with my Frigidaire Affinity ATF7000EE0.
When the machine seems to work fine (as it will wash but just won't kick into a spin cycle) it is most likely the door lock/switch assembly. In addition to the actual door lock solenoid and door closed switch, the assembly contains a secondary lock in the form of a wax motor and an auxiliary switch. This wax motor and switch activates during the spin cycle. When the wax motor goes bad the secondary lock does not activate therefore the spin cycle switch does not activate, which in turn disables the spin cycle. Even though you can hear your door lock kick in and the door is locked it is most likely the secondary lock in this switch assembly. Start by replacing it first.
Unplug the washer unless you want to get shocked! Take out the two screws at the back of the washer that holds on the washer top and remove the top by sliding towards the back of the machine and lift up. You can go to the front of the machine and reach down inside to the door lock while removing the two screws that hold it in from the outside front of the machine. Once the lock is removed there should be enough wire slack to get the lock up above the tub before you go and try to unplug any connections. Make sure and make notes as to where your connections go on the switch. Simply unplug the old switch and plug your new lock assembly in, remount it, and put the top back on. You should be good to go.
One note, don't panic if you select spin cycle and it doesn't start spinning immediately. Wax motors actuate very slow and smoothly. It could take up to a minute for the lock and switch mechanism to get into place before the spin will start.
Have a great day!

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CONDITIONS THAT WILL PREVENT THIS UNIT FROM SPINNING :NOT COMPLETELY DRAIN AND FAULTY DOOR LOCK AS SY.
FIRST REMOVE ELBOW ADAPTER HOSE FROM TUB TO PUMP AND MAKE SURE IS COMPLETELY CLEAN ,HOSE STRAINER THEN CHECK IMPELLER @ DRAIN PUMP NOT TO BE BROOKED , DEFORMED .DIRTY OR LOOSE IF IS LIKE THIS REPLACE PUMP IF NOT PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER ,MAKING SURE THE STRAINER IS ALL WAY DOWN (IF IT HAS ONE) IF NOT IT WILL GET LOOSE AND DAMAGE YOUR OUTHER TUB ,THEN THIS IS IT .
THEN CHECK PRESSURE SW HOSE FOR LEAKS AND BLOW SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY TO CHECK PRESSURE SW .IF CHECKS OK THEN REPLACE DOOR SW ASSY AND RUN ONE IM VERY SURE THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR SITUATION ;NOW GET ON YOUR KNEES , GET DIRTY AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
