starts to spin, but then stops

i believe its w17400cw is the top load type.. it starts to spin, but then stops. it goes clockwise counterclockwise, clockwise counterclockwise as it starting up, but it’s like it doesn’t have enough power to start the actual spin so after it goes, left right left right doing some testing on its own I can reach underneath the washer and spin it by hand and get it going, and then it will start the wash but then during the cycle, it will stop to fill up with water or whatever it may be and then it doesn’t have the energy to spin again it will try to start spinning and will only If I were to reach under the washer once again and help it start spinning, I start helping it and making it go fast then it will continue, but then once again some point During the wash, it will stop again and do the same thing

Your model is an LG WT7400CW.

I couldn't find the service manual for your model but looking at the manuals for a WT7200CW (see p.28) and a WT7800CW (see p.30) the way to start the diagnostics is the same. However to test the spin function is slightly different i.e. press Start/pause 13 times vs 12 times.

Maybe you can try the diagnostics and find the spin test setting for your model and check if you get an LE or LE1 error code (see p.32 & p.34 respectively in the manuals for what to check if you get these codes

If you manage to do this and you find it is a part that needs replacing, here's a parts list that is useful, as the manufacturer's part number for the part is shown with the part. Search online for the part number only to find suppliers that suit you best.

Hopefully this is of some help.
