I tried to manually move the tub or the agitator, and they're locked. However, I was able to check the drive belt and it is in good condition. If I manually move the the belt in one direction, both the tub and agitator (slowly) move, and if I turn the belt in the other direction, only the agitator turns. Can you please help me to diagnose? Thanks, Celso

You can then see when it goes into agitate cycle whether or not the motor is running but the transmission is not turning, or whether or not the motor is not running.
