I just replaced both the agitator dogs andthe motor coupler. The old parts reallydidn’t look that bad, but the parts were cheap so I took a shot at replacingthem. I’ve done a couple washes, and therattling sound persisted.[/FONT] [FONT="Arial","sans-serif"]The washer is at the spin cycle right now. I stopped it to get the model number. When it restarted, there was a hum/buzz, andthen it started to spin. I happened tostop it again right after that, and now it won’t spin; it just did the hum/buzzand then a click and then nothing. Iturned the dial to put the washer at a different place in the cycle, like thewashing part, and all I get is the buzz – it won’t agitate or spin or anything.[/FONT] [FONT="Arial","sans-serif"]Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.[/FONT]

You can replace this machine with almost the exact same technology, for about $300 to $350 in our area, and even lower if you shop around and search for sales.
