i have a whirlpool washer model lsc8244bq0 that is messing up bad. recently the agitator started working on almost every cycle. i have check the motor coupling and they look great, when i start the washer everything works perfect it fill it agitates and spin drains the water then repeats process but once its done with wash cycle and move into the cool down phase the agitator will not disengage and wants to agitate on every time the washer drains and spins the clothes causing the clothes to get tightly wrapped around agitator bringing machine to stop. from my understanding and from what ive read it could be the transmission, clutch, starter capacitor or im not sure. the thing that's stumping me is the first 2 fill and drain for wash cycle work great. no problems but after that it goes down hill fast. last time i ran the machine the spin cycle worked great but the next load of clothes the agitator started working when it wasn't suppose to work. here are some short videos on youtube of the problems and how sometimes the spin works and doesn't work due to agitator. also video of agitator working perfectly fine.

The problem you are describing is inside the transmission. Most likely its this part that's causing the problem. https://www.appliancepar...-wp389387-ap6008840.htmlUsually the washer is pretty worn out by the time this part fails, but not always. you'll just have to weigh the age of the washer against the cost of the repair.

Just a guess but the timer may have some contact points sticking together (if it is an older design timer ) and there is not much chance of repair. A new timer is likely to be needed.

That's not how the transmission works. The timer controls motor direction... forward and backward. Everything else is done inside the transmission... mechanically. One direction to agitate, the other to drain... pause... then spin.

something is exciting the transmission to run continously. is there an electrical diagram?
