continuously spinning washer

[wowens]

My washer basket spins while in the agitating cycle. I think it needs a new transmission (?) I've replaced 4 broken damping straps. It's a 7 year old GE profile. Is this worth trying to repair or is it time for a new washer?
Thanks for your thoughts

Transmission repairs are not easy and we usually recommend professional repair. Plus, they are expensive. Replacing the entire transmission is also expensive. Even though the unit is only 7 years old, if you think the trans is shot, I'd replace rather than repair.
