Got a slight problem with it not wanting to spin at the end of a cycle.
Just popped out out of the blue. The Pump also seems to bail out all the
water it can, but since it wont spin its not much, clothes still wet.

It seems to agitate fine and do anything else. Its a direct drive, so i
assume from there the motor is fine etc.

Was looking for tech sheet so i can fathon its binary language out in
the diagnostic mode. (hold water level down button & power on)


Exactly which model# do you have?

#MW511 PRIDE model.

What happens, is when it hits the spin cycle, the pump will start and
pump out all available water. Then it will agitate twice, alternate
directions.

Next it will try to start spinning then just stop.. and after 5 mins or
so start beeping (once per second indicating general faliure i guess).

Stopping it, and starting again at the spin cycle can usually get it
working properly after a few goes.. So its bit of an odd ball problem.

So really, it hits the fault every time, but can be coaxed back into
service.

And i read that the tech sheet comes folded up inside the control panel
area, to the left of the water solenoids. Not the case here, the people
selling it musta swiped it or something to make sure they get their
service money. Who knows.
