Hi gm589

In order to provide the most accurate advise I need the complete model number of your washer. Instead of the model number you posted a serial number.

I found under the lid a number marked MOD RAS7133R00 then a number marked SER CS3307997

Hi gm589

If your washer does agitate but does not drain and spin then most likely the problem is a bad lid switch.

If does not agitate and spin but does drain then the problem is a bad motor drive coupling.

If does agitate and drain but does not spin at all then it could be a bad drive block, a bad clutch or a bad transmission (the transmission should be under the limited manufacturer warranty).

To tell you more specific what is wrong with your washer I need more information.

The machine does aggitate all the time and does drain all of the time. To get it to spin I have to turn the drum back and fourth like it was aggitating and then when I put the lid down it will spin.

The first thing I would check in such situation is the drive block.
Remove the agitator and the spanner nut. Visually inspect the drive block. If it has to be replaced you will have to remove the cabinet and the inner tub.

In order to remove the spanner nut you will need a special spanner wrench.

- The part number for the spanner wrench AP3538707

- The part number for the drive block AP2905773
