Pull the pump and motor and check the coupler, probably broken.

I think that is exactly what the problem is. We just replaced this part cost under $17.00. Here is a link to a site that gives detailed instructions even with pictures of how to do this.

Sears Kenmore Washing Machine Repair

My husband did the repairs and said it was really simple. We had this same problem 2 or 3 years ago and the repair man charged us $164.00. He said the problem was caused by overloading or things getting off balance which sounds like what happened to you. Good luck.
