The wet load was EXTREMELY heavy. The machine will fill with water and drain. When trying to agitate or spin, you can hear the motor running but nothing is happening. I have searched other topics for same issue. Do I need the agitator cam repair kit and the washer motor coupling? Is there anything else I need to look for? The switch on the lid is working correctly. Thanks in advance.

Whirlpool 285753A Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer Motor Coupling - AppliancePartsPros.com The new couplers have metal inserts and are more difficult to install. Use a socket and hammer to tap them onto the shafts. Make sure the plastic halves are on far enough so that they are flush with the end of the shafts. Eric
