You need to replace little gears called agitator dogs. Once agitator is removed pull top half of it off. Exposes the dog carrier.

Check your cogs. Pull the top off agitator off and look inside.

Have a KitchenAid Prestige Top Load Washing Machine (Model: KAWs677EQO). It makes noise during the spin cycle and the drum moves when it comes to a complete stop after the spin cycle. Otherwise, it works...

I had the same problem 1 month ago, its probably the motor coupling for the direct drive. Its a small rubber Ring + a plastik drive. Its easy to change and not expensive.

My Kitchenaid washer stops on the rinse cycle...

Do you have an age of the machine and model number? Is there a "spin only" cycle? On older machines, there was a center knob you could slowly rotate, one click at a time, to advance it through its cycle. Can you do that? If the unit is agitating, I don't believe the belt is your issue. Age and model please.
