Whirlpool Laundry Center ThinTwin unit - at the spin cycle, the washer motor runs but the drum will not spin with or without clothes in the machine. There is a buzzing sound maybe such as a stripped gear or something not "catching" to make the drum rotate.

The unit is probably 8 or more years old. Any idea own what parts and cost may be involved to repair it? I'd most likely do the repair work myself.
Thank you for your help!

Assuming it is draining ok, you want to check out the clutch and brakes. The clutch is a relatively easy and inexpensive repair. Check the brakes using the Sticky by Richappy at the top of this page.

Here is a video on the clutch.

Thank you for the response and directions. I do not know what you mean by the "Sticky by Richappy". I don't find that information or reference on the page.
