Whirlpool Thin Twin - Washer Doesn't Drain and Spin Concurrently.

Once the wash cycle is complete, I believe the tub is suppose to drain and spin at the same time. (I believe this help balance the load for the spin cycle.)

Instead the tub drains fine, but the drum does not spin until 2 or 3 minutes elapses - then it spins as normal. The same thing happens on the rinse cycle.

Additional information - if I push in the washer control knob for a split second (to turn the washer off) at the beginning of the drain cycle and pull the knob back out again (to turn the washer back on again) the tub will continue to drain and start spinning at the same time.

Spin cycle and all other functions work normally.

Any thoughts as to the cause? Thanks.

My Whirlpool thin twin does the same exact thing, but it really does sound like it's trying to do more than just drain. It sounds like something is spinning on the washer, but the actually tub isn't. My model is LTE5243DQ3. I've had other appliance techs tell me it could be the timer or clutch
