the spin drain is not a major problem:
Unless you have very dirty loads or have to get maximum rinsing. In which case the drawdown of wash water through the bottom of the tub and side holes will make a huge difference. Dirt settles out during the wash and lighter soils float. During a ND the heavy soils are pumped out the bottom of the drum while light soils settle on only the top layer of clothes. The light soils are spun off when the spin is engaged. This instead of all soils being pumped back through the load by a spinning tub full of water.

My 1987 Kenmore Limited Edition Electronic.....
......washer does the "spin drain" thing - usually with lighter loads OR if the lid opened during drain and then closed again. I find that this "spin drain" sometimes dislodges lint and "debris" from somewhere in the machine and deposits it on the clothes or around the top of the tub making a huge mess.
This machine has never had any repairs and is still on it's original drive coupler so I can't complain! | ||

 There's a pause in the timer between neutral drain and spin which stops and restarts the motor for neutral-drain shifting ... so assuming the cause of spin-drain is not related to a timer malfunction (i.e. no pauses) the softener will be dispensed and lost when spin(/drain) stops and spin(/spin) restarts. | ||
