How to I get the washer to do a spin cycle only - I don't want this garment agitated, just spun dry (it is a hand knitted lace shawl)

I would suggest checking ur cam dogs or coupler in the agitator, also the drive block and agitator spline and spindle as well. see pics

sounds like a bad computer board

Possible that the belt is slipping and also there is some issue with the agitator as the gaps within seems to bring up the dirt or grease mix to the clothes.
So it is important to remove the panel and check the play on the belt, replace if the play is high and check if the agitator bearings are worn out. If so the agitator assembly must be taken out and checked.

If the drum spins but the agitator doesn't agitate then its the dog(lil arm things) that grab the agitator ridges to work. If the drum doesn't spin at all its the belt under the drum. it's either broke the belt or has worn and slipped off or the drum was way off balance and kicked it off(belt) . way cheaper to fix either than buy new and most new ones have no agitator anymore so how does it clean better? In my opinion, they don't so I get the parts online at repair clinic and do it my self. Sorry Maytag Repair man. But I saved a lot

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

Quick silly question(s) ;-0)
Are you selecting the right program? Wool is spun fairly slowly and the speed would not be fast enough for normal garments. If you have selected the right program(s) for the particular garments, I would immediately contact the vendor/supplier as the machine is under guarantee, I presume.
Did they install and test it?

Good luck,
John C

i got the same problem the belt slips on the spin cycle i have replaced the pulleys the belt and the tensioner worked well for a week then back to slipping took the whole machine apart and found dryed up grease in the top seal and on the shaft cleaned it all of put new grease on worked fine for two months today same thing again took it apart and the shaft is all gross and stickye with dryed up grease i just like to know what grease a guy should use

You have a bad pully cam or brake

Replace it

My girlfriend's LAT9704 had the EXACT same problem. I replaced the timer module an now it works in all cycles. Part wasn't cheap though - $80

thanks for posting problem solve :0)
