This problem is normally attributed to a defective lid switch. If the lid switch is loose or broken the lid is not detected as being closed and the washer will not operate beyond the beginning of the wash cycle. You need to check the switch to see if it has become loose, or if the lid strike as been broken off. NOTE: If your washer is equipped with one, it will be a small plastic piece
located on the lid and activates the lid switch when the lid is closed. Get back to me and let me know what you find. I can assist you in locating parts and provide instructions on how to replace the switch if necessary.
To check the agitator. Start the washer into wash cycle. Once started Push down on top of agitator. If it catches some times or all of the time when pushing down, then then doggets are worn, under the agitator. You`ll have to remove the agitator to see these. If by pushing down on the agitator, nothing changes, Then you probably have a transmition problem. Check this and let me know what you find.
listen for a "clicking" noise when opening nad closing the lid, sounds as if the lid switch migh tnot be making contact, but if it is running, just not agitaing or spinnning, you may have a problem with the motor coupling, this machines equivelent of a belt
Sounds like you have a bad brake & Drive tube (spin tube) the brake may not be ingaging or the ear are broken off the tube ( you can check this just remove the agitaator and you can check the ears)
I just encountered the same problem. I think the operation of the machine is such that the motor turns one direction for the spin cycle, and the other direction for the agitate cycle. I am replacing my motor, as I think i have a bad winding on the reverse. I will let you know.
