I have a GE washer that wont agitate. Fills and spins fine but no agitation. I checked the drive block but seems to be in good condition. Tranny does make a grinding noise. Please tell me it's NOT the transmission. Unless it is, I guess.

Thanks for the reply. I pulled the agitator off of the hard plastic thing attached to the tranny shaft. I thought that was the drive block. the teeth or splines on the inside are good. I am not to familiar with this type of machine so I don't understand the upper and lower agitator setup. From what I can see, the motor pulley, belt and tranny pulley seem to rotate fine in agitator mode but there is no agitation. I only hear the clanking noise. the tub itself doesn't move nor the agitator. there is some play with the tub, don't know if that's normal. Once it hits the spin cycle, the tub spins and releases the water just fine, albeit with a quieter clanking sound.

I have a GE washer model WRSR3140G1WW that will fill and turn the drum OK with no clothes in it but if clothes are put in it will not turn. I have not worked on any GE washers and need advice as to whether this is repairable at a decent cost. The washer is not much more than 6 or7 years old. It is good condition otherwise

As far as I can tell it is WRSR but it might be the other WBSR. It will not rotate the drum or agitate with clothing inside. With no clothing inside it will turn and agitate.
