 I had that problem with my A407 until I figured out that I hadn't put any grease on the helical shaft which allows the transmission pulley move freely up and down the shaft. When I greased it, the brake worked as it should. You might try removing the pulley and put some grease on the shaft if you haven't already done so. The transmission pulley is what engages and disengages the brake, depending on on which direction it's moving. That's why it spins up and down the shaft. | ||

If the brake is engaging while spinning out, you have a completely different issue than a lug stop adjustment. This usually points to a timer problem unless the motor is cycling the protection circuit.
The stop lug adjustment is essentially out of the equation and not of importance during spin portion of the cycle. It's only important for braking down after the spin has completed and keeping the tub stationary during agitation. | ||
