Basket spins while agitating..could it be the timer

Whirlpool washer CA2000XMO0 Coin operated ...bought in 1982...has been used as only washer in 8 plex. The problem is that after putting in the new motor and timer the basket spins while agitating. The lid latch is not working ...don't think that is the cause. The clothes gets twisted and throw water ands soap out. Can't find anything on the internet with that problem...seems to be unique. Could it be the timer?

SOURCE: would a new basket drive help?

not that unique, whats happening is the transmission has a wig wag and shift cam bars that are not moving at the right time. you probably have an open coil on the wig wag and its normal for them to do this when a coil fails. just take the 5/16 screw out of the wig wag and lift it off the plungers, then replace it with a new one. all should work correctly after that.

ok so now i have seen your ? 4 times and you dont need a basket drive either.
you might want to make sure you didnt unhook a wire from the wig wag when you changed the motor and it could also be the cam bars are just stuck, which ever, just look at the wig wag and bars. that will be your area to repair.

At the end of the spin cycle, my Kenmore Washing Machine makes a grinding noise like an out of balance brake drum. What could be the problem

If your washer model number starts with 110. it's a whirlpool washer. Whirlpool use a spin tube with two notches in it. There is a block assembly that holds the inner basket down on to the spin tube. This can be accessed by removing the top of the agitator and take out the 7/16 screw. Lift the agitator to expose the top of the spin tube. The tube is stripped on top where the basket sits. When the washer stops spinning, the inner basket keeps moving. That is the noise you hear. Replace the spin tube and possibly the block.

I have a Whirlpool estate washer...it fills, agitates..but the spin cycle does not work. The timer has been sounding kind of odd the last couple of weeks. Could this be my problem?

i have the same problem with my whirlpool washer. It is five years old! I was told it was the basket drive and transmission that is going. It will cost $275 to fix. Paid $379 for it. What a piece of ****! Will never buy whirlpool again. It was my 1st one. I had always bought GE prior.
