The base piece of the agitator will not move. The belt is not cracked and is in one piece. The belt if I pull hard will rotate but it gets to a certain spot and stops and I have to pull really hard again. The top piece of the agitator does move in one direction; so I believe that means the "dogs" are in tact. Can you point me in the next direction?

It may not be your agitator. Find out if the inner basket/drum is "creeping"(moving)during agitation. if it does and it squeeks then your problem is in the brake system. you may need new brake rotor and stator. In that case you can't do it your self because you need a special tool to compress the spring. DON'T REMOVE IT without the tool you may HURT yourself.

The should be a bolt that goes thu the center that holds that down with the bottom part of the agiatator.. it might have pulled loose or rounded out the whole for the top part here is a link and a pic http://www3.sears.com/imaging/ImagePageJava.shtml?productTypeID=0153200&brandID=3048&modelDesc=WASHER&modelNumber=SAV365ZAWW&documentID=M0512408&documentTypeID=PLDM&documentClassCode=PV&titleType=TUB%2C%20INNER%20%26%20OUTER%20%28SERIES%2012%29&titleID=00010&
SOURCE: Maytag won't spin or agitate
I have had the same problem and found that the teeth on the under side of the agitator had been worn down to nothing... I assume this is from years of over loading (not from me) and so the agitator could not spin any more... i would tighten the bolt that holds th agitator on and it would come loose after a few loads. So my solution was to get a little bit longer bolt and newer plastic washer and tighten it as tight as i could and it seemed to work. Versus buying a new agitator base that would cost about $20-$30 and would have to wait for the part to be ordered. hope this helps
SOURCE: Need to remove Agitator
On a MAV6000, you should be able to pop off the fabric softner cap, remove the fabric softner cup underneath, and finally remove the bolt underneath to lift up the agitator. (rocking the cap back and forth is usually the best method)

My performa 2300 makes a loud screech when it stops spinning. What is going on?
