Answer

It would be recommended that the basket drive W10820043 is inspected to identify if it is digging into the tub support 280184 excessively, potentially causing the brake to be unable to release during spin. Another thing that would need to be identified would be if the motor is pausing after draining as this allows the transmission 3360629 to shift from neutral into spin.
