I tried it on several different cycles thinking maybe it would work on another one, but it isn't working at all- it doesn't make any sounds or anything. Any suggestions?

There don't appear to be any issues with power- the outlet is good and it is getting power. Is there something else I should be looking at??

Is it supposed to be so difficult to turn? It only rotates the agitator & basket at the same time- the agitator doesn't turn independent of the basket. Is it supposed to be like that?
