Washer won't spin

The machine will wash and drain. When it goes into a spin cucle, we get a CA or CI error. Which means extra current draw on motor. I took off the front panel and check the belt. Its fine. When looking at the belt, it will move clock wise. When the belt moves counter clock wise, it comes to a point and the stops and gives the CA error or CI error. So, what part of the machine is stuck, so that it won't do the counter clockwise spin?

A common fault on a front loader washing is brushes wearing out in the motor. A general maintance is to check these brushes out about ever two years. Isolate the washing machine from the power. Remove the motor and with a small screw driver lift the brushes of the commutator or just take it down to your local motor rewinder and get him to bench run the motor and test it while you wait. If its had its day look around for a good second hand one. It could be in the electronics but i have seen a motor take the electronics out?? I think its the motor???
