GE WHDRR418 top load washer won't spin at high speed; the washer does the complete cycle, and agitates in both directions and does physically spin, but it will not go into the 'high speed' spin that actually spins the water out of the clothes. It spins at a relatively constant low speed after the drain pump stops--previously you could hear it ramp up to high speed and it no longers does so. I have attempted the 'reset' that was posted here: unplug for 4 min, lift the lid 20 times, then push the knob and restart the machine. Either there is a nuance to the reset that no one has posted (i.e., can only reset on wash mode, can only reset with knob specifically in or out, etc) or something else must be wrong.
Does this machine have selectable care cycle switch? This needs to be set on Normal/Fast. If set on Normal/Slow, for example, it will only spin at the slower speed.
we can eliminate the motor and the switch since that part is working. sound like your timer might be faulty, timer make everything work in persistence cycles, if its goes bad sometime it tend to jump/skip cycles.
