The agitator will not agitate or spin at all (I know its not the door switch and it is pumping the water out of the drum.
I read that some machines have a reverse function with the motor to agitate, is this the case with this machine?
Also, the agitator will not spin, at all, either direction, by hand; is this indicative of anything?
I realize that it could be the water level switch, but at the beginning of the cycle, the water does fill up and shut off; at this point, I should have agitation.
I can spin the drum within the outer plastic bowl in both directions, but am not exactly sure the total process.
any help appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Gene.
Today, I eased the unit over and started inspecting the coupling. On first look, the coupling looked ok, but I noticed debris all over the frame surrounding the coupling and then I tried to spin the coupling, it was loose as a goose. After I removed the coupling, I was able to spin the agitator which backfeeds the gear box and it spun freely. I went to a hardware store, replaced the coupling and so far, it has washed about 5 loads of clothes.

I appreciate this forum and the people who are generous with their trade knowledge.
