Hoping there's some sort of easy fix since it doesn't appear to be a mechanical issue

The droning sound makes me think it’s either too much weight in it like mentioned previously and the motor doesn’t have the required torque to generate speed. You could prove this by trying to run a spin cycle with an empty washing machine.
The droning sound can also be caused by an open in the motor wiring circuit, an internal failure of the motor, or potentially seized bearings. I’m pretty handy and I’ve completely gutted my Samsung dryer before to replace some parts, I don’t figure the washing machine would be much more difficult. It did take me a couple hours to disassemble and reassemble.
