Sometimes it agitates and sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes it spins and sometimes it doesnt, the timer goes round and the machine fills and empties
99% of those problems are with the lid switch. Check make sure it is functioning properly.
Thanks I will check that out and repost!
This problem will be one of two issues with your hoover 600Mb. First of all, the motor controller, located in the top panel, between the timer and the water valves. Its a plastic unit that controls the agitation and spin cycles on the machine. These clap out sometimes and become intermittent in the wash an spin cycles, or stop working altogether. Secondly, If your machine does it on the wash cycle, every time you use it (Not wash on the regular part of the timer) then it will more than likely be the timer that is the problem. The 165 and 167 timers were are known to not be that good and the 500MD 500MB 600M & 600MD machines all suffered from timer trouble at some point in time. It ticks away at various points but nothing happens. A lot of them stop at the pre-rinse and needed to be manually clicked around one notch to continue and finish the pre-rinse and spin cycle.
Thanks for the help will continue and let you know will look at you site too!

SOURCE: Admiral Washer model #LNC6757 will not agitate
Possibly a loose agitator, try lifting the agitator, if it lifts then it is un secure, remove the softener cap and down inside the agitator you will see the fixing bolt,
You will need to lift out the agitator to retrieve the bolt if it has come fully un done, refit the agitator and secure using a socket and long extension bar.

Hi
If your washer pumps out the water but doesn't spin, check these:
If your washer doesn't agitate, check these:
Lid switch
If the lid switch is defective, the washing machine may not agitate or function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washing machine to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it.
Motor coupler
Many washers produced by Whirlpool® use a small, relatively inexpensive motor coupling. It's plastic and rubber and is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. If this happens, you need to completely replace it.
Belts
Many washing machines have one or two belts. If a belt is broken or badly worn, you need to replace it with a genuine belt from the manufacturer. (Some washing machine belts are designed with special characteristics not found in automotive belts.)
Drive motor
Many washer brands use a reversing motor. For agitation the motor runs in one direction, for spinning and draining, the other. It's possible for a motor to burn out in one direction and continue to operate in the other. If this happens, you need to replace the entire motor.
Drive pulleys
The motor or transmission drive pulley may be worn and unable to turn the drive belt. If so, replace the pulley.
Transmission
The transmission could have either of these problems:
If you suspect a transmission problem, you may have to call a qualified appliance repair technician to repair it.
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 rotates back and forth as it should, but the agitator doesn't move properly. If this happens, you may need to replace the agitator and/or the transmission spline.

Usually answered in minutes!
Not the lid switch, have tried 2 reconditioned timers and both do the same thing as our original timer, which is click around, empty, fill and now not even moving the bowl at all. Also have replaced the capacitor. Trying to work this out without spending much more money if possible. Any help greatly appreciated.
Does the motor run when it is trying agitate or spin? Also, what is the model number listed on the machine?
Hoover 500 MB Not running on any cycle except fill and drain
No sound at all when it should be agitating, but when it should be spinning or spray rinsing it sounds like the noise it makes at the end of the drain cycle and it makes that noise until the timer clicks to it its next setting
Let me look through my database, I may have the service manual for that model. Give me a little bit to look as I have quite a few manuals to look through. If you have a few minutes to spare. Please take a look at my website I just started kinda like FixYa. It has forums as well and I would love to get some feedback on the site. The address ishttp://appliancecafe.com and I will look for that manual for your model. I don't think I have it on my forum yet but I am adding manuals daily on my site. Thanks in advance!
OK, I have found the manual but it is a hard copy and not on my computer. Give me a few minuets as I have to type all the information out for you. It should not take more then 10 minuets or so.
