Clicks... at the beginning of a cycle it will spin for a few slow spins, then nothing. Had the Sears technician in. Said that it was the Speed control. Bought one from Sears, installed it myself. The machine still won't agitate... spins for a few times slowly, then stops. Nothing consistent nor fast. Will not agitate/ spin. What is my next step? The tech said that I should also put in a new motor...If he was wrong about the Speed Controller, I don't want to spend the $$$ on a motor.

If your machine is working on the was cycle then I doubt if the motor is the problem. A more likey source of the problem is the main control board, but I cannot tell you much because your model number does not seem to be correct.
