If the washer fills and and empties and you can hear the motor, then the most likely fault is a broken coupler. The water pump is mounted directly on the rear of the motor and the motor/pump assy is attached to the transmission using a three piece coupler (part # 285753, $18.50). One of the two identical pieces of the coupler is attached to the motor output shaft and the second is mounted on the transmission input shaft. The third piece is a rubber part that allows the coupler to break in certain situations to protect motor. When this coupler fails the motor will still drive the water pump but the agitator will not move. A broken coupler can be identified simply by looking at it. Flip the machine and look for it between the motor and transmission.

If you suspect you have a defective timer it can easily be replaced by performing the following steps:
1. Unplug washing machine... and pull out the timer knob. Some knobs have a removeable center cap and hidden screw. Some are simply slip-fit. Remove the knob.
2. Remove console. This can be accomplished in one of two ways depending on which type of console you have.
a. If the console has removable end caps, the caps lift off by prying on the top from the back of the washer.
The cap will pull off towards you as you are facing the unit from the front of the washer.
There will be a screw under each end cap that you will need to remove.
b. If the console does not have removable end caps, you will need to slide a putty knife under the front corner of each side and push in while lifting up.
There is a retaining clip under each side that has to be released.
3. Once the console has been released it will lift up and fold back over the back of the washer in its resting position. Use care not to stress the small plastic hinges that hold it on. They can break easily.
4. Disconnect all power plugs and remove the timer's mounting screws.
5. Reinstall reverse of removal.

We had the same problem. The drain from the bleach input is clogged (water cycles through the bleach tray even if you don't add it at a certain point during every cycle). Use a wire hanger or something like it to poke the lint out of the drain (take the bleach tray out first).
