Kenmore 70 series barely agitates and makes a clicking sound

This is a Kenmore 70 series washer it just started making a clicking sound while barely agitating. Is our motor going out?

    I have a recording of what it sounds like. Is it possible to download a .wav file for someone to hear exactly what it sounds like?

    I ask this cause the sound is coming from the bottom of the machine as well.

What u have just described are failed agitator pawls/dogs, relatively easy fix. The repair comes as a kit. Most appliance repair houses will have the kit, if not www.searspartsdirect.com will have them

    List the model # for your unit please

    Easiest would be to check the agitator pawls....if the problem isn't there, then it will be a more difficult repair.

    a user manual for your unit can be downloaded -->here<--

My Kenmore 70 series washer sounds like it has something stuck in it and makes a grinding and buzzing noise the agitator will barely move but the washer will drain but not spin

That could be the motor coupler. It could also be the transmission. It is pretty easy to fix. I recently worked on my brother's washer:

Series 70 fills wit water stops then makes a slight buzzing sound

The electric motor my have failed or a part called a capacitor could be the problem? The capacitor is part of the starting circuit of the electric motor, if this fails the motor will not start therefore the washing machine won't spin or agitate.
