Hello Gene,

Thanks for responding to my post. So, I have looked at the belt and the pulley - they seem to be fine. Niether appears to be broken. Is there anything else I should be looking for when looking at them?

You said that if it is not either of these things, maybe it is the transmission. Do I have to take out the agitator, tub, and so on and work my way down to the transmission?

Is there a way to test the transmission to make sure this is the problem?

This is what happens: The washer will fill, but when it is supposed to start agitating it make a strange whhheer-er click, whhheer-er click noise. I then advance it and it spins, fills and then tries to agitate again, producing the same noise. I advance it again to get it to spin the final time.

Thanks,
Rachel

Hello,

Ok, so my washer has not been agitating for over a month. I've posted about this before and the conclusion was that I had a bad transmission. So all this time I have been filling the washer, agitating my clothes by hand, and then sending them into the rinse and spin cycles.

Well, all of sudden my washer agitates again!? Did Santa come and fix it for me? Was/is there some sort of short in the wiring? Could the problem be in the lid switch or timer? I just don't get why my washer is working again. I am wondering if this is too good to be true and how long this will last. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Any ideas on what has happened?

Thanks,
Rachel

Yes, it has always been spinning.
