If it’s not spinning at all it could be the timer. After the machine completes the neutral drain there is a short pause in the timer that stops the motor allowing the transmission to shift to spin once the power is resumed to the motor after the pause. I’ve seen this a couple of times over the years where the timer skips the pause so the transmission never shifts to spin at the end of the cycle. If at the end of the cycle you find that the machine did not spin at all you can turn the timer back to spin and it will spin if this is the issue. This is ONLY the problem if the washer has not spun at all at the end of the cycle. If it is spinning just not good enough this is not the issue.

Oil on the clutch pads/housing?  Wrong spring for the 6-pad clutch band?  Brake not fully releasing?  Some little piece of something missing?
