@cabrio you are not telling us if it spins at all or just not fast enough to remove all the water. The most common issue for not spinning are:
1 Lid switch. See TEST #8. THIS WOULD BE MY NUMBER 1 SUSPECT
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check harness connections.
4. Motor. See TEST #3.
TEST #3 Motor Circuit
This test checks the wiring to the motor and rotor position sensor; and the motor and rotor position sensor themselves.
NOTE: Drain water from tub.
1. See Activation of Manual Diagnostic Test Mode, and check the motor and electrical connections by performing the Agitate and Spin tests under Manual: Motor. The following steps assumes that this step failed.
2. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
3. Check to see if basket will turn freely.
4. Remove the console to access the machine/motor control assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies.
5. Visually check that the P5 and P10 connectors are inserted all the way into the machine/motor control.
6. With an ohmmeter, check for 16 ohms resistance at the P5 connector between pins P5-1 and P5-2, and also between pins P5-1 and P5-3. Also measure the resistance at the P10 connector between pins P10-1 and P10-7 and verify that the resistance is within the range shown in the wiring diagram on page 7-1.
7. Tilt machine forward to access the bottom of the machine and the drive motor area. Remove the motor bolt, then the motor cover to access the motor connections.
8. Visually check the mounting bracket and electrical connections to the motor and rotor position sensor board.
9. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P10 machine/motor control connector and the motor rotor position sensor (RPS) connector.
10. With an ohmmeter, check for continuity between all pins on the P5 machine/motor control connector and the drive motor connector.
11. The drive motor and lower harness are good. Replace the motor RPS board and perform the Diagnostics test in step 1 to verify repair.
12. If the Diagnostics motor test in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed:
Perform the following checks if washer fails to lock (or unlock).
TEST #8 Door Lid Lock
1. Perform Manual: Door Switch and Manual:
Door Lid Lock tests.
2. Remove the console to access the machine/motor control assembly. See Accessing & Removing the Electronic Assemblies.
3. Visually check that the P12 connector is inserted all the way into the machine/motor control.
If visual check passes, go to step 4.
If visual check fails, reconnect P4 and repeat step 1.
4. Check the lid lock motor winding and switches by removing P12 from the machine/motor control and checking the resistance values shown in the Lid Lock Resistance table below:
5. If the Manual: Door Switch or Manual: Door Lid Lock in step 1 failed, then the machine/motor control has failed:

It’s brand new 4 days old installed by Lowe’s
We had that issue and had to rearrange and drain/spin a couple times. Then the capacitor blew up and once that was replaced works like a charm

@howardsiggelko good to hear you got yours fixed. Do you remember which capacitor? There are a few.....
I don’t know, it was about an inch in diameter

It also used to take my 30 year old wash machine literally 3 min to spin and drain the clothes dry and this piece of $@$* cabrio takes 12 minutes to spin!??!! Is this a joke?
