my washer has started spinning slow at times when it gets to the rinse and spin cycles. the timer starts buzzing and the spin is very slow and does not get all the water out.sometimes it will work normal.could this be a timer issue?
Well without the timer noise I would say it is the thrust bearing. With the timer noise it can still be the thrust bearing or something caught between the tub and basket because if it is the timer then it should either spin or not spin, not spin slowly.
I would check out the make sure nothing is caught, that nothing is hanging up the pump and then I would watch it with the front panel off to see if the thrust bearing looks like it is doing what it is supposed to do, which is to push up the pulley to release the brake.
