Washing a heavy load of rugs, machine stopped agitating and spinning. Continued to fill and drain - just not clean very good or spin dry.
Replaced motor coupling - tub side broken in half.
Machine would fill. Timer made a grinding noise and would not progress - move manually - still no agitation or tub movement.
Replaced timer. Works smooth to fill - no agitation or tub movement
Removed cabinet went all the way back to motor coupling - checked all connections and confirmed position of coupling and ability to turn shaft by hand on both tub and pump side.
Replaced cabinet - start cycle - machine fill - cut off and hear an attempt to engage (visual confirmation of agitator attempt to engage - never make a rotation).
Attempt to turn bottom half of agitator seemed to bind. Pressure freeded up agitator.
There is a clicking sound of what appears to be the motor attempting to engage. Visual confirmation of agitator appearing to bind and not make a rotation.
What do I do now?
