Possibly a lid switch. The washer shouldn't spin if it thinks the lid is open. Possibly a wiring issue. Check the wiring to the motor. If those check out it could be a problem with the timer. Sometimes bad contacts in a timer can be checked by turning the washer on in the spin cycle where it should be working and wiggling the timer shaft up and down and around without turning the knob. If the washer starts and stops, you've got a bad timer.
The spin bearing may be bad, but it would usually be because of a leak from the center seal. If this were the case you should be able to see where water came through the seal and slung out off the transmission. There would be a line around the interior of the cabinet just below the tub. It may also be the belt. It is specially woven and is supposed to slip and the beginning of the spin cycle to act like a clutch and slowly bring the spin speed up. If the belt is too worn it may never get up to speed. You can usually look at the belt and tell. When looking at a bad belt, the outside of the belt you should see the weave pattern and have some texture to it, but the top and bottom of the belt, where the belt makes contact with the pulley, will be shiny and smooth.

thanks for trying but it doesn't seem to be any of the above belt is slipping but problem is not belt adjustment and appears that the bearing may be seized the motor is going to drive it and it makes the spinning noise but does not spin but if given a spin while it is trying it will spin the shaft for a while then stop appears somewhere that a bearing is very tight or brake may not be releasing thanks
