Tilt machine back and remove the belts. Rotate center pulley CCW. Have someone observe to see if it is agitating while you are rotating. Rotate clockwise for spin. May need new belts, motor mount may need servicing as it needs to glide back and forth under spring tension, also check that pump pulley freely rotates in each direction with no binding. Eric

Turning pulley CCW by hand, will agitate action back and forth but binding. I see a crack in the plastic around the top of the agitator.
