    Default Kenmore 70 Series not spinning

    I am having trouble with my Kenmore 70 series washer that is about 12 years old Model #110.20712990. I noticed that my clothes were not being spun dry. I redo the spin process and then it spins them dry. I watched it to see what happens and when it gets to the spin process, it drains but does not spin. If I open the lid to stop the process and then close it, then it spins. Per other suggestions online I have replaced the clutch. I checked the coupler and it looks fine. I took the drum out and checked the drive block and that looks fine. One other thing I noticed while watching it was, I put a screwdriver in to hold the lid switch down, when it got to where it should be spinning, it did not as usual but was draining. As I pulled the screwdriver out of lid switch and you could hear the washer shutting down I heard a click and the drum started to spin about an inch while it shut down. It almost appeared like the shutting down reset it and caused the spin cycle to engage while it stopped. When I put the screwdriver back into the lid switch then it started to spin. So essentially, it won't spin unless you stop it and start it again during the spin cycle.
