Filled with water, but does not begin washing/agitating, even though all lights are on? My Kenmore is 5+ years old, and may not be the exact same model (110.2970092). This is my first such problem.Filled with water, but does not begin washing/agitating, even though all lights are on? My Kenmore is 5+ years old, and may not be the exact same model (110.2970092).

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.
First, see the Sears parts site for your washer: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action
Enter your model number (###.######) and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.
Also see the following illustrated description of how to remove agitator(s)
Sorry to tell you this but this machine probably has a hole in the tub (the plastic part). The basket (the part you refer to) is fine, but to replace the tub, it isn't economical. You will probably have to get another machine.
If it will not spin either, you most likely have a broken drive coupler. This machine is "direct drive" and has no belt. As techs, we see this several times during our work week. Otherwise, if you have the "two piece" agitator, you may simply need new "dogs" in the agitator. if the machine spins fine, fill it only on the smallest load size with no clothes in it. When the agitate cycle starts, take note if the bottom section of the agitator is going back and forth. If it is, and the upper part does not "ratchet" then you just need to rebuild the agitator and that is an easy job.
sounds like a broken motor coupling( this machines equivelent to a belt. part number 285753a . mounts directly to the motor shaft and connects to the transmission, order a new one it installs between the motor and transmission,assy
