Maytag law9406aae won't Spin

[FreddyK]

I am trying to fix my mother's washer, Maytag law9406aae.  It started having an issue where it won't go through the high spin.  I can rotate "Counter Clockwise (Forgive me, I don't remember which is which)" and the agitation works without a hitch.  When I rotate it "Clockwise", it goes about a 1/8 to 1/4 turn and then locks tight, I cannot turn any farther.  The motor turns the belts as much as it can and smells of something fierce when left alone.  I have not taken the drum apart to see if anything is lodged, but if I can make 2 full revolutions for the agitation, I'm not sure if I need to, or look somewhere else.  Some advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

make sure of that !               do you notice any black water stains under the outer tub ?

Pull the front cover and inspect the base and transmission and belts if your able too . You may find something jamming up the drive train or something visually out of place and worn .  Just an alternative procedure.
