Hello, there are few things that will typically cause these: One is that the belt is too tight; there should be a lot of loose play on both of the belt on these machine or the roller. It could simply be a worn belt .
Check the drive pulley: The motor or the transmission pulley may be worn and unable to turn the drive belt. If so replace the pulley.
Agitator: The inside of the agitator where the transmission shaft attaches can become worn, and strip out the spline that allows the agitator to properly grip the shaft. Then the transmission shaft rotate back and forth as it should, but the agitator doesn't move properly, If these happens you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission spline.
Thanks

Wont spin, drain or agitate

the transmission is either burnt out or the freaky looking belt that turns the pump is off. or the switch that tells the unit that the top lid is down sometimes comes loose cause some companies used a caulk like substance to keep the foot attached to the switch as slid away from where it is and the lid is not pressing that foot down to close the circuit and tell the tranny its safe to spin etc. You can fill with the lid open but not spin. There is a motor that controls all the spinning and draining or agitation and if something in their design is opening the circuit it wont perform those functions.
another idea is the timer motor isn't making contact and you might have to replace that..... there are tons of issues that can cause that.

My wahser just stopped working it filled with water and then started agitating and then all the sudden stopped please help

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water

    I have a Kenmore washer tube wont move to spin out

    Hi, Do you know if the washer agitated at all? If the washer does not agitate or spin, the coupler is most likely the cause. If the washer agitates and does not spin, it could be spin basket drive or transmission.
    Please let me know so I can assist you further.

    Kenmore washer 80 series 110 model not spinning.

    unless your washer is over 20 years old, then it wont have a belt. the temperature of the water wont have anything to do with it spinning or not.
    need to know if it agitates or drains and just wont spin.
    if it agitates but no spin or drain, then you have a bad lid switch.
    if it wont agitate or spin, but will drain, then you have a broken drive coupling.

    Washer fills/agitates and stops prior to draining

    If pump works fine or still pumps out water, then it is a timer malfunction. Replace the timer and you should be fine. To locate a part number for your timer, refer to www3.sears.com with the model number off your washer.

    Washer problems

    if it wont drain , check your lid switch, check out your motor coupler, if it will not agitate and spin, replace your motor coupler, if it agitates and dont spin, replace your lid switch.

    alot of times the washer will drain but we hurriedly cut it off when we hear noise or the water is out but it never spinned and so the clothes are soapy wet...
