Make sure door mechanism is working at fine. So next is to check whether the motor tumbles both directions.
The spin bearing might be a problem, but normally you'd hear a problem here first. Have you heard any freight trains passing through the house in the spin cycle?
One thing to check for this problem is the spin speed switch. If the spin speed switch is bad then the control won't know how fast to spin, and so it will just not spin at all.
The drain pump must be draining all the water out. If the water doesn't drain out then the pressure switch won't read empty and that might prevent a spin cycle.
I hope this helps.
Please reply with additional details for further assistance.

Shane080 you really are a Guru. One comment I would add is where and how to drain. I started by removing the rear panel (4 philips screws) but you do not have to. You can just tilt the entire washing machine forward to gain access to the bottom side of the tumbler and drain pump. Directly under the tumbler you will see a fairly large drain tube which narrow a bit as it reaches the drain pump. The drain tube is connected to the drain pump using a simple spring clamp. Put a few towels under your work area and using a pair of plyers to losen the clamp to disconnect the tube from the pump. Once disconnected you must first return the washing machine to it normal flat position. I also spun the tumbler by hand to ensure I go all of the water out. This is necessary because if you do not it will not work. After tilting the machine forward again and put everything back together - run the drain and spin cycle for a complete cycle. Make sure you set the machine to spin during the cycle. If this was the problem and you have followed these steps correctly you may still hear the humming/vibrating noise at first when you start this cycle but as it the cycle continues this noise goes away. I suspect this results from residual water/pressure in the pressure switch.
