I have a Hoover 750LB top load washing machine. Quite often spin function does not work. Occassionally spin will work OK. Other functions are OK. What could be the problem?

Sounds like your timer is not working correctly. I would suggest replacing it, as there isn't a way to repurchase timers.

Have a look for coins etc stuck in the drain pump or the tub outlet hoses especially where they fit onto the tub. If a coin or other foreign material blocks the water flow when draining , these machines wont spin properly.

The most common cause of machines stopping mid cycle is not draining. Your machine should have a filter behind the kick plate at the bottom.
If this is not the case please post back for further assistance.

You quite possibly just have a broken drive belt. This will allow most functions to work but it won't spin the tub.

Try Replacing the drive belt.
Check it first to make sure that is functioning

if its a top loader check for timer/timer module fault.front loader check carbon brushes in motor

The load might be unbalanced, and will not spin at full speed as it could damage the machine. Try reloading the machine.
