That really is not a problem. Some washers do that after a while. Does not affect the machine much. It may wear the clutch ring after awhile. You should be fine. Most people would not even know that it slips into spin during neutral drain. | ||

Kenmore78, It sounds like you are describing what a belt drive washer would do. According to the pic it looks to me like a DD. | ||

DD/BD You're absolutely right, I realized that the machine was a DD after I'd posted. | ||

That is exactly how the DD washers work. Normally, when there is nobody to open the lid and interrupt the cycle, as the dial turns to spin from drain, the motor is briefly shut off. When it is restarted, the tub spins. There is a slight click when the motor stops as the tub become engaged. You will notice, if you open the lid during the drain, the motor shuts off, and you will hear a slight click noise. When you close the lid, the machine will drain and spin. By interrupting the drain, you caused the machine to spin prematurely. Joe | ||

I noticed my km washer does the same thing if set on low water level.After the pause between wash and drain it will spin drain the water until the machine pauses again.It only seems to do this on the low water level. | ||

Fixerman, I've always knew that when the machine is cold, the first cycle should be heavy duty to avoid this annoying problem! If Whirlpool were to put a small heater coil to warm the tranny, it would not shift into neutral on the regular or delicate cycles. I had my tranny replaced 6 months into ownership of this new washer and I've just replaced the tranny last week because during the spin cycle, it wanted to agitate and spin at the same time.... | ||
