BTW it's not a timer issue. The timer pauses after drain is normal. |

And it's very common issue with these direct drive Whirlpool produced units. I had one of the first direct drive (DD) Lady Kenmores bought in October 1986. After a few years, the machine started doing exactly what yours is donig. And it would do it during the first spiin (after wash) and sometimes even the on the spin after the rinse. It actually kinda bothered me too, but that was just me. So, I "solved" the problem by setting the machine on final spin (normal spin speed) and let it run through that before I started laundry. 9 times out of 10, it then did what it was designed to do, not spin during the first drain. also be aware, if you use your fabric softener dispenser, the unintended spin during drain creates havoc because the softner is released from the dispenser when the machine pauses after the drain (and spinning) and begins the intended spin phase.
