I replaced the agitator coupling even though the current won't looked fine and that did not solve the problem. The motor functions properly and the belt moves but there is no agitation. What could it be?

I have seen this a few times everything turns fine but the agitator shaft, which will mean that there is something broken in the transmission. During spin the whole transmission turns so nothing eternal in the transmission effects the spin cycle. Therefore the transmission could be bad and still spin. If however the belt is turning but the pulley is not then you may have another problem.

Most of the time if it will spin the clutch and the belt are fine but this is not always the case. Take the belt off and see if the big pulley will turn both ways. One way the transmission will turn and the other way only the agitator will turn. If it will not turn one way then the transmission is locked. If it will turn then the problem is the belt or the clutch. Make sure the belt isn’t getting wet or greasy. If the belt is getting wet or greasy then the belt will slip. If the belt is worn then it will slip. If the motor is the only thing turning the clutch may be the problem but check the other things first. [/FONT]
