Hi Tim and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.

I will be replying 2 times here but wanted to send this first one now so you can possibly check the lid switch. The machine will fill and pump out but if the lid switch is not functioning it will not agitate or spin.

As you just open or close the door or lid you should hear an audible click from the micro-switch. If you do not hear that click, The lid switch has a problem. (loose or failed)

The model number does not cross:

http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getModel!retrieve.pd?modelNumber=970-C29052-00&=part+number&pathTaken=partSearch
Search results: "970-C29052-00" We're sorry. No exact or partial matches were found.
This is a common lid switch:

but may not be yours due to the model number issue.

There are 2 other possibilites also. One being the water level control or pressure switch and the timer assy. Most of the time the lid switch is the failure.

Thanks for using FixYa,

Kelly

Hi everyone, my Kenmore 970-c94812 stackable washer-dryer won't spin on washing cycle..!

Pretty much the same cause for all washers, just not exactly the same one as yours. Probably have to lean it over carefully to get under it to get to the coupler. https://youtu.be/_fHoAjOmHDU hope this helps

Kenmore Elite Model 11023032101 will not Spin

if it agitates and pumps out water it is not the lid switch.  you most probably have a bad brake/clutch mechanism.  the fact that it spins tells me the transmission is good
