Lid Switch Assembly
The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not drain. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test each of the lid switches for continuity. If a lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.

It will go through a complete cycle. Water will be drained but you can tell that it didn't spin. I turn the washer back on advance to drain /spin and almost ever time it will spin.
Cause 1
Lid Switch Assembly
The lid switch assembly prevents the washer from spinning when the lid is open. If the lid switch assembly fails, the washer will not spin. To determine if the lid switch assembly is defective, use a multimeter to test the lid switch for continuity. If the lid switch does not have continuity, replace it.
Cause 2
Motor Coupling
The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.
Cause 3
Drive Belt
Inspect the drive belt to determine if it is broken or if it is loose on the pulleys. If the drive belt is broken or loose, replace it.
They clearly said the spin cycle works just not in a regular cycle. Don’t you need a lid lock for the spin cycle too? Why would the lid lock prevent the spin in regular cycle but not spin cycle?
Same questions for the suggested motor coupling and drive belt.

i am having this same issue. it won't spin at the end of a regular wash cycle, but if i reset it to a drain/spin cycle after the wash, then it will spin. we checked the belt last night and it looked fine. would a lid switch really cause this issue only at the end of a regular wash cycle, but not on a drain/spin cycle?
