The invention relates to a washing machine drive which comprises a motor and a planetary gear set. In operation the drive is switched from a washing speed to a spinning speed by clutch and brake means having two stages. The clutch means for maintaining the washing speed are associated with centrifugal weights and these brake means do not release until moments after the clutch means for the spinning speed is actuated. The main object is to avoid a mode of operation which involves a sudden pronounced change in the load which has a harmful effect on the machine.
