Kenmore washer won't spin

I have a Kenmore washer model 110.26652500 that will not always run through the spin cycle. The washer fills, agitates and drains consistently but will not automatically go through the spin cycle. If I open the lid and turn the basket then close the lid the washer will generally complete the spin cycle. I have read several posts regarding the no spin issue with this series of a Kenmore so I wanted to find out what the most likely culprit is for this problem. Clutch, brake, timer?? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Most likely the timer.

Did you find a fix to your problem? I have the same problem with a Kenmore series 80. Thanks

I have ordered the part so I should know shortly. I will post another response once the part is installed.

BenjaminA,
We have replaced the timer in our Kenmore series 80 washer & it seems to have corrected the issue. I have only tested one load so far but it is spinning like a champ.
