hot dog i figured it out, it's the button that the lid pushes down. i held a writing pen upside down and pushed it in and it went right to the spin cycle. so thanks everyone for your advices, and hey maybe my findings will help someone else.

Could the safety switch on the lid be bad or bent it stops the washer from spinning when the lid is open.

If it was in need of a belt, the agitator wouldn't run during the wash phase. The water is supposed to pump out before a spin can start. If the water pumps out after the wash but not after the rinse phase or vice versa, that sounds more like a timer problem. I've replaced one of these before and it was a lot of wire disconnecting and reconnecting. The timers aren't cheap (maybe $50-75) and you'll probably want to eliminate other possibilities first. And if it's not an electromechanical timer, than it's going to be a lot more expensive. One workaround to try is using a different cycle, e.g. Delicate instead of Normal, or switching to Wash-and-Wear when it is time to drain and spin. If the water doesn't pump out after the wash or rinse phase of any cycle, that sounds more like a water pump or washer drainline blockage problem if you can hear the washer motor running. Water pump replacement is only bad because accessing it can sometimes be a pain and the hoses sometimes are fairly stuck to it. If there's dead silence when it should be pumping, then an electrical problem is more likely. A defective close-lid safety switch will prevent it from spinning, but not from draining.

try turning dial over to another cycle at "rinse/spin"this may kick it in.it sonuds to me like the timer has failed.if this doesn't do it it may be the pump.timer can be replaced,pump is not cost effective to replace

What kind of washer is it? I have had the same problem with a Maytag washer and was able to fix it for under $50.00.
