Hi - I watched the washer as it ran through a cycle, let it fill. When it goes into the wash cycle, both the agitator and drum kind of lock up. They look like they want to move for maybe a quarter of a second, then lock right up and the electrical sound of something wanting to run and not being able to is pretty loud.

It fills, drains and spins fine.

Remove the washer front panel. Check if the transmission pulley can be moved CW. If not, the transmission is locked and has to be replaced.

- The transmission Part number: AP3892125

Hi Gene - Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I can turn the pulley counterclockwise, but not clockwise.

Bummer, a new transmission. Well, thanks again.

Is that a really hard thing to replace, I've never taken a washer apart before. I see you sell the transmission, is there a book also to show how to replace it, or should I just get a guy in to do it?

This job is not very simple and if you do not feel comfortable to do it yourself, it's better to hire a pro.
