Before I replaced the clutch, the machine would do one of two things: First, not spin large loads at all or very little; second, drain but not spin at all. The clutch replacement addressed the first problem. However, after installing clutch and testing the machine, it still does not engage the spin cycle and only drains. Could this be a timer issue?

Also, after installing the clutch, the machine no longer detects the water level and overflows the basket and does not advance into the agitation cycle.

EDIT: I already changed the motor drive coupling.

Thanks for your reply. The clutch was slipping and did not allow the machine to spin very fast or not all when spinning large loads. I replaced that as per your suggestion in the previous thread I posted last week.

As mentioned, before installing the clutch, the machine would either not spin at all during the spin cycle or it would spin but not very well. When it would not spin, it would just pump the water out without any indication of spinning. When it would spin (small loads), it would drain and spin but leave the clothing wet at the bottom of the basket.

I had a serviceman out to look at my other Roper washing machine (under warranty) this morning before I did the clutch replacement. I showed him how I could move the clutch bands within the clutch housing with just my finger. He said that the clutch definately needed to be replaced. So, I can probably rule out any mechanical problem at this point with the spin cycle.

After installing the new clutch (and motor drive coupling), I tested the machine with a medium load of laundry. The machine started to fill and I walked away for 10 minutes. When I returned, I saw water spilling out the top of the basket and the timer stuck at the beginning of the cycle. I turned off the machine and advanced it to the spin cycle. The water drained (pump was pumping), but absolutely no spinning occured. This is why I think it might be the timer.

Also, I read this thread which is very similar to my problem (I know it's a Maytag and totally different). Replier suggested a new timer.

Both Roper washing machines are in a damp basement. The serviceman who was here this morning had to change the timer on the other machine under warranty because it would stop in the middle of the agitation cycle and would sometimes not spin. I transferred my 'test' load of laundry to the machine with the timer replaced and it went through a complete cycle without issue. So, the timer replacement seemed to fix the problem on that machine.

Needless to say, I changed the timer on this machine seven months ago with a refurbished unit (warranty on the refurb. part was 6 months). I think the damp basement might be corroding the timers somehow. I purchased a replacement timer after I posted this thread just in case. As far as the issue with the overfill, do you have any writeups or videos of how to address a crimped or loose hose to the pressure switch? Also, what are your thoughts about replacing the timer to address the sporatic spin cycle?

Thanks again for taking the time to address this issue.

Thanks again for the reply. I'll follow the detailed procedure you described to try and troubleshoot the issue in a few days.
