let me be more clear, is the basket supposed to spin throughout the drain cycle?

No. The bulk of the water drains while the basket is stopped. The basket then spins to get most of the water out of the clothes.

According to the Whirlpool (Kenmore) factory manual, they all drain, THEN spin to remove the last of the water.

thanks guys, i had been led to believe (by an appliance parts place) that the design on the '99 kenmore transmission was such that when the motor reverses (from the wash cycle or the rinse cycle), both the drain and spin are initiated at the same time, then when the drain cycle completes, it stops and calls only for the spin cycle.

the reason i ask this question, is because an acquaintance has a '99 kenmore washer that is trying to spin during the entire drain cycle.

do you th> >

Dunno, but my Maytag of last year does it too, and always has. -----
