Ok here is the deal. The above washer does not spin the drum on the spin cycle at all.When you put it on "spin cycle" the water pump works,but the drum wil not spin.Replaced:Motor,belt,control board,but still the same problem. Checked the following:door switch operates normally,there is 120 volts going from socket to machine.the wiring to control board is a 120volts,but the wiring from control board to motor is at mere 5-7 volts ,when it is switched to "spin" The timer seems tio work as it goes through the cycles fine,and it turn on when you need to wash, and turns on the water pump when it is on "spin" ,BUT WILL NOT TURN THE DRUM.So there IS voltage going to the control board,but NOT OUT OF IT. I would say it's a control board,but IT IS NEW.

 

WHAT GIVES?? HELP ME PLEASE

This looks to be a front load Frigidaire built washer with the Kenmore name, not a top load.....here is the wiring diagram, perhaps this will help.  I do not work on these so perhaps someone else in here that does can help you.

Check out the door switch-- it it's bad the washer will not spin. 

Remove the front access panel and you'll find a tech sheet inside.  There is a procedure for checking out the motor.  Do it.  If the motor and door switch are good, replace the speed control board.

Wait: you replaced the door latch mechanism, the motor, and the speed control board and still no spin? 

Somethin' doesn't smell right here.  :pisser:

Two common possibilities:

Door catch might not be actuating the ddoor switch.

Mis-wired speed control board.

Zedd,
a) Is it a FL?
b) Does it tumble in "wash cycle"?
c) During the "spin cycle", you wrote " the water pump works,but the drum wil not spin."
"Replaced the door switch,tested and replaced the motor,replaced the control panel.NOTHING STILL"

Sounds the timer is faulty and fails to close the spin contact to the motor control unit during spin cycle.
