I have a model LSQ9659LW1 top load Whirlpool washer and somtimes it will spin or it will not spin at all. Lately when it does spin it has been getting weaker and weaker. When I was inspecting the underside of it the coupler appears to be fine and I also discovered some yellowish orange oil that is on the floor below it. The lid is making a clicking soud when I shut it so I think it is fine. Does it sound like the transmission or gearbox is bad? Is it worth to pay someone to fix it with the cost of labor and the part or should I just buy a new washing machine? It is 5 years old. Thanks for your time and input!!

Sounds most likely a broken/defective lid switch. The lid switch on a top-load washer is a safety switch that detects whether the top-load washer lid is closed. The lid must be closed when the basket spins; some top-load models require that the washer lid be closed before the washer drive motor runs (thus no draining). If the lid switch isn't properly detecting whether the lid is closed replace the switch.
sounds like the floating gear is not engaging in the transmission(gearcase) replace the transmission. hope this helps dont forget to rate me thank you..
