Actually everything sounds okay, but it doesn't spin. Don't think it agitates either...if agitate means spinning/cleaning the clothes. Please help. Thanks!

Also see if you can slide the motor easily so that it automaticaly can adjust the tension. you could also take the belt off from motor to transmission and see if you can turn the transmission pulley by hand. Check these out and get back to us.

Could be a problem with the brake package, transmission or something as simple as an article of clothing caught between the inner and outer basket causing a no spin. You will have to remove the front, 2 screws on the front panel pull the bottom towards you to un hook the top. There will be two screws at the front corners that hold the top down, remove them and lift the top. Remove the top tub cover and inspect between the two tubs with a flashlight to see if there is any clothing. If not, any furthur repairs and diagnosing should be left to a qualified technician. good Luck
