Washer works fine. But you have to manually nudge it to start the spin.
chilij28 that could be an issue with the motor windings (this would be my prime suspect) , bad start capacitor (usually washer motors do not have capacitors but we do not know your model washer) or a bad clutch. If you can provide us with the complete model number of your washer, we should find the right manual and help you out further.
