Year old frigidare washer won't agitate

The washer fills up fine but won't start to wash the clothes. I can manually advance it to spin cycle and it will spin just fine. then will fill up to rinse and just sit there. I checked for loose or burnt wires but didn't see any. there is no motor hum or anything after it fills up with water

Initially thought the washers timer was the problem because it wouldn't advance without manual intervention

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.

This problem will often occur with a light load of clothes. The beeping is usually the unbalanced load alarm. Often, redistributing the clothes around the agitator and moving the agitator manually up and down and side to side to center it again will fix the problem. You may need to advance a new cycle to where it spins out to empty the washer and run the laundry again.
