Washer will not agitate

Model Number: FWX433RBS5 Brand: Frigidaire Age: More than 10 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

When I try to wash a load of clothes, the tub will fill. It will attempt to agitate, but no success. It makes a humming noise & then clicks off. It will wait about 30 seconds, hum again & click off. I tried to move the timer to a different location & had the same results. Was able to move the cycle to 'final spin' & the pump did drain the tub & I believe it will spin then.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chan

I would first look under the agitator, to see if there is an article of clothing tangled around the shaft. It sounds like you have something jamming the agitation. If it isn't the agitator, it may be a transmission problem.
