Machine will not agitate

I have a Kenmore elite top load washer. I can not find any model number for this machine. Anyway the machine works it does everything but agitate. I should not say it does not agitate because it does move slightly. It does not make any noises it shouldn't. I would like to know if it is worth fixing and if so can I fix it. Can anybody tell me how to fix it. Thanks.

Most likely it's either a broken belt, or the motor is going out. to check it you need to take the outside casing off, not sure exactly how to do that on that model. Anyway open it up, check under the drum for a belt, if the belt is in tact than it's the motor, in which case. Personally I wouldn't put in the effor to replace. as to where you can get a belt if it is broken, I don't know that either. Good Luck

Kenmore washing machine Model 110.4767292, squeaky agitator

I can't seem to get the Sears Parts site for your washer model number.

Can you verify that it's correct?

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.

In the interim, here is the Whirlpool Service manual for top load, direct drive washers.

Following is a procedure for removing the agitator(s) on top load washers.

http://www.american-appliance.com/catalog/newsdesk_info.php?newsPath=16&newsdesk_id=136

If you take the agitators out, I'd make sure that any "gunk" is cleaned off and check the splines inside the agitator and on the transmission agitator shaft.

It's probably not a serious problem.

Very Noisy Operation

you will have to access the bottom of the agitator from the back of the machine. Either you have loose bolts or else you agitator bearings are shot
