At any agitation or spin setting on the dial same thing, does not turn at all. Looked underneath. Coupler intact. Some oil dripping out of gearbox. I'm afraid it may be gearbox but any other possibility? Thanks!

Remove motor and rotate transmission input shaft by hand CCW. If this doesn't cause the lower agitator to go back and forth, the transmission is bad. Can be repaired unless input pinion or main drive gear is shot, or replaced. Eric
