Does the machine spin fine on all settings? or have problems as well?

Selector switch

If your washer has a selector switch on the control panel, make sure the button for your selection is pressed all the way in, or set properly.

Drive motor

Many washing machines have multiple-speed drive motors. Though it's uncommon, the drive motor may work fine on one speed but not on another. If the drive motor has failed on one speed, you need to replace the entire motor.The motor reg winding can be the problem, on the delicate cycle the motor uses a slow winding, the other cycles use the reg winding

Connector plug

This can also be caused by a loose connector plug. Check that all are securely plugged in.
