The dryer works fine and the washer fills and agitates,but trips the overload instantly in the spin cycle.i replaced the timer twice but still the same problem.after the overload resets i can rotate the timer to any wash cycle and it works until it gets to the spin cycle.with the belt removed from the drain pump it still trips.if the brakes are stuck how do i fix that?the lid switch appears to be working fine.and the fuse is still good.
Take the belt off the transmission pulley and see if you can turn it by hand. It will agitate on direction and spin when you turn it the other direction.
Put the timer to spin with the belt off and see if the motor will run. There may be a problem in the start switch on the motor letting it start in one direction but not in the reverse direction.
Special tools are required to remove the transmission and brake assembelies. You also want to make sure there is nothing sticking through the holes in the basket causing it to lock up such as a nail or screw that may have been left in a pocket.
Post back with what you find.
Thanks/Mike
