Ask Whirlpool about it... ;)

Maybe you can sell it and have the washer out of your way for good. You have nothing to lose and money to pocket.
-
@muchtall Did you ever try stopping it with the timer knob, pulling it out, and then seeing if it would spin? If not, I would suggest trying it
-
I have that same washer, My sounds like a train when its washing
-
First of all I can tell by looking at it that this washer is past it's lifespan. When did you buy it, in the 1980's?
-
@muchtall Well its economically irreparable, if you are incapable of such a repair yourself, as in, you have to call repair personnel to have the machine fixed.
Using my best knowledge, it sounds like the neutral drain part of the transmission is toast, You will have to remove the agitator bolt, remove the cabinet, pull the pump and motor, then unbolt the transmission, place it in a vice, remove the clutch assembly, remove the gearcase cover bolts, pull the spin gear to take a look.

Sounds like a possible netrual drain pak replacement.

Did you ever sell that washer posted here?

question did it neutral drain?
it sounds like the transmission is out of sync..
its to hard to explain but the transmission on nutral drain machines has a system that switches the washer from wash mode into nutral (drains) then engages in to spin let me ask what happens if you open and shut the hood when it stops spinning would it cause it to re-engage? I noticed the basket moved when the cycle ended as if it was in neutral all that time
The c ycles are off, the timer needs replacing, it's an easy job, the washer is sound!

I'm going to assume you read my nearly 2-year old comments below already. Two repairmen from two companies came out to work on this washer. Neither could fix it . I've replaced timers before, and absolutely yes they do go bad, but this was not a timer issue. You can hear in the video a mechanical "clack" when the transmission engages. It's at this moment that you see the basket shift slightly. The last repairman acknowledged that it's a transmission issue, and it's economically irreparable.

Nah. I don't know why I've delayed. I suppose a quick CraigsList posting would get it out of my basement. I probably shouldn't expect to get more than $50 for it.
