When it is not a direct drive it will be the carbon brushes in your motor which are gone.
This will explain the drain in power.
Good luck

No problem. What you want to do is this, remove the screws from the back panel first to remove that metal plate protecting the wires. Once off you need to take off the two covers on the sides of the control panel. There is one on each side, just pop them off. Once off you will see there is a screw under there holding the control panel in place. Remove the screws and that will lean back. Next take a flat head screw driver and put it under the lip of the lid on the front of the washer. I mean the lip that is about an inch down from the top on the front. Pry up and the whole lid will pop up. You will see the lid switch there held in by a screw, follow the wire to where it plugs in and unplug it and replace with the new one. Let me know if you have any other questions and if this was helpful to you. Always happy to help and good luck.

Yes, you have a direct drive coupling problem. Use this video to replace your part.

I have the exact same problem, which is why I found this post. Did it stop, or did you find a solution?
SOURCE: My kenmore 90 series washer stopped agitating, but
First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:
http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getModel!retrieve.pd?modelNumber=110.26912690
The first thing that I'd check is to try the washer on a different cycle.
If it does agitate, the problem points to the timer.
If it still won't agitate:
This problem points to a couple of places:
The first unfortunately is the motor. Kenmore / Whirlpool top load direct drive washers use a reversing motor.
When in agitate mode, the motor turn one way, When in spin mode it turns the other way for draining and spinning.
I'd check the following first before assuming that it's the motor though.
First, I'd pull the agitators and check for worn or damaged splines inside the agitator or on the agitator shaft.
Following is a description of how to take them out.

If the agitator and shaft are OK, the problem may be in the transmission.
See the following Whirlpool / Kenmore installation and service manual for top load, direct drive washers.

I'd also look at the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Starting at page 10, you'll see a description of how the transmission changes from agitate to spin mode.
The key (and likely problem) is the "agitator spring".
The spring holds the agitate gear down so that the two sets of splines on the agitate gear are connected and the agitate rack can turn the agitators.
See the following Whirlpool parts list for a blow-up of the transmission and how the various gears and springs connect.

See the following for how to remove the transmission and clutch.

Tearing apart the transmission is a bit messy but if the problem is the spring or agitate cams, it's a lot less expensive to fix than a $170 transmission.
Remove the clutch (the spring holding the clutch to the spin pinion is a bear to replace.
Remove the 8 transmission screws carefully, the transmission is full (15 oz.) of 80-90 weight oil.
Remove the transmission cover and drain the oil.
Pull off the spin pinion.
Carefully remove the clip that holds the main Spin Gear on and remove it.
Push down on the agitate spring and remove the spring clip. Note where is attaches to the main shaft.
Check the spring, Agitate Cams and the cams in the Neutral Drain Assembly.
Re-assembly is obviously the reverse of taking it apart.
If you're reasonably comfortable with tools you can fix it yourself.
When we had a problem with ours, we ended up spending less than $30 replacing the agitate cams, neutral drain assembly and oil instead of $170 for a transmission. It was worth fixing.
As an aside, tearing the washer apart will give you the opportunity to completely clean it.
