I have a Whirlpool washing machine that doesn't spin the clothes dry enough. The water drains, but leaves the clothes soaked. Could this be a belt or even worth fixing?

Spinning at all?

That is a Whirlpool 'direct drive' washer design (see the following link) so it has no belt to cause problems.

If the tub IS actually spinning but just not fast enough and there is nothing hampering the tub's movement and the washer is draining properly, possibilities for poor spin might include a slipping clutch mechanism or if there is also unusual noises at the time, a cracked motor coupler slipping on the motor or transmission shaft. The latter would usually also affect the agitation as well.
