I have just posted two more short videos. Tonight I put a very small load in and started it up with the factory-present settings.  I used about three or four tablespoons of Tide powder detergent as shown the vide and I put it in the center of the spindle.   The washer took an extremely long time -- like an hour -- to cycle.  The wash stopped with rinse blinking and the beeps every five sections and was LOADED with suds. I then unplugged for 60 seconds and began a brand new cycle in hopes of rinsing away the suds. This time it got through the rinse lights but just seemed to hang on spin and never start spinning. Listen to sound in last short video. 

Questions:

1) Where are the suds coming from? Why do they survive through the rinse cycle? Is it possible the soap isn't being released until after the wash and rinse? 
2) Why is it taking the washer so long to cycle? 
3) Why does it either hang at spin and never really spin, or cyle three times in spin, partially spinng up for less than a minute and then slowing to acrawl, then spinning up and crawl and spin up and crawl three times until quitting with single beep continuous and clothes still very wet? 
4) We had this washer 10 years of good service until this started last May.
5) Is there a component that has failed with age? 
6) Or, is there some piping or valve somewhere which is clogged up, throwing the whole system off?
