I have a Kenmore Elite/ LG built washer top load (agitator-less) model will not spin 4 of 9 loads and hear a funny noise from underneath like squealing
it looks like beltless model but there is a shifter for a clutch below. I ran the diagnostics and all seems okay with no clothes inside.
There were no fault codes showing or encountered. Suspect the clutch or main board. the connections look okay. Any suggestions appreciated

This model has a stater and hub. Lay it down on it’s front and you can access the hub from the bottom. I can’t remember what size the nut is but there may be something stuck to the magnets between the stater and hub . Pull the hub and check the magnets. Remember to be careful when pulling the hub to keep fingers clear between hub and the magnet. it is very strong and can punch fingers. I had the same sound once and spinning erratically. I found a small finishing nail stuck to the magnet. Also Make sure to check the plastic gears on the gear box. I have seen them broken, specifically the large gear controlled by the mode shifter motor. You should be able to see it without removing any of the motor components.
