Repair & Advice
After watching numerous youtube videos, I was certain I had a clutch that had gone out. I proceeded to take the whole top section apart to remove the drum and then went to the underside. Removed the stator and figured I would remove this diverter motor to make it easier. All of a sudden the drum turned fine. Figured why not try this part first since once you take the clutch out, you need a new one no matter what since they say it won’t seal again. My hunch was right. This diverter motor changes the clutch from spin to agitate and it was stuck in the agitate state. No one on youtube talked at all about this. Happy fixing!!!
