We were advised that the problem can be in transmission or brake. How we can locate the brake? And if we can fix/replace it on our own, do we need special tools for it? Model PAVT234AWW. Serial # 10303125EC Thanks!:confused:

Operate it with the front panel off and see if the motor is turning in the agitation cycle. If it is then the transmission is likely the problem and given the expense of the part of the difficulty of a DIY project and the low cost of a new top loader I suggest replacing it.
