The washer runs through the cycle, but does not fully agitate.

HI.
Lift the washer up and see if drum drive belt is broken or direct drive coupler is defective.

Hi,
It sounds like the agitator , air bell or transmission is failing. Since the unit spins the belt & motor is ok. I recommend removing & inspecting the agitator & air bell. If they are not stripped out then you have a transmission failure.
Or, start the washer at the beginning of a cycle set to the lowest water level. After the unit fills it should be agitating stop the washer. Open the lid & try moving the agitator, if the agitator will not move it is good & no need to remove for inspection. You have a bad transmission. If the agitator moves easily then we know that the agitator or air bell is stripped out & will need to be inspected for confirmation before replacing.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for using Fixya.

• Test the lid switch
• Inspect the motor coupler
• Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
• Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
• Test the motor
• Inspect the pulley
• Test the transmission
• Inspect the agitator
• Inspect the pump coupling
• Test the water level switch

These are the common problems of a washer that will not spin. In my opinion I would say check the transmission. Any more questions feel free to ask.

Hi,
Try these

1. Test the lid switch
2. Inspect the motor coupler
3. Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
4. Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
5. Test the motor
6. Inspect the pulley
7. Test the transmission
8. Inspect the agitator
9. Inspect the pump coupling
10. Test the water level switch

pls rate my suggestion.......

Inspect the drain hose for kinks
Test the timer control
Test the lid switch (some models)
Inspect the water pump
Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
Inspect the motor coupler

Hi..

if agitator movement is weak or moves in only one direction check the following:

• Inspect the agitator
  
• Inspect the motor coupler
  
• Inspect the drive belt(belt drive only)
• Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
• Test the motor
• Inspect the pulley
• Test the transmission
• Inspect the pump coupling

If drum does not spin check this:

• Test the lid switch
  
• Test the timer control
• Test the centrifugal switch
• Test the water level switch
  
• Inspect the motor coupler
  
• Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
• Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
• Test the motor
• Inspect the pulley
• Test the transmission

Good luck !!!

Dear customer,                 
        we recommend u to do the follwoing checks on ur washer 

1. Inspect the drain hose for kinks
   
2. Test the timer control
   
3. Test the lid switch (some models)
   
4. Inspect the water pump
   
5. Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
   
6. Inspect the motor coupler

these are usually performed wen water doesnt drain out and for the agitator not spinning the problem's root can be known by..

1. Test the lid switch
   
2. Inspect the motor coupler
   
3. Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
   
4. Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
   
5. Test the motor
   
6. Inspect the pulley
   
7. Test the transmission
   
8. Inspect the agitator
   
9. Inspect the pump coupling
   
10. Test the water level switch

hope u find it useful. thank you.

Pull the unit forwardand lean it back about 45 degrees. You'll have to play with it a bit, but once it's far enough out, it will lean back without you having to hold it. Remove and inspect the belt(s) are they in good condition? Next, check the pulleys (wheels) underneath. Do they turn? One is for your pump, one is for your transmission and one is for the motor. (in case one doesn't turn, you'll know what portion needs to be worked on). Also check the track on your pulley the belt sits in. Is it dammaged or worn?
