Advice please…All runs normal except the washer won’t spin unless I get it started by hand then it will spin but not at full speed. I’m thinking it’s the motor coupling but not confident. Any help much appriciated!
More likely the clutch is slipping but it’s easy enough to check the coupler first.

Thanks for the feedback Eric! When I check the coupling am I looking for broken pieces or wear?
Check for broken fingers, cracks in the two plastic halves and check the rubber isolator to make sure the holes are intact.

Well, Repair wasn’t tough at all. Did the motor coupler and clutch too since i was at it anyway and its 10 plus years old. Good for a month. Now tonight it wont agitate or spin, but i can hear the motor working. Coupler again?
