MAYTAG WASHER?

Machine will not agitate. It will rinse and spin but since it won't agitate, it won't wash.
What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Hello,

It's possible the your splines in your agitator are stripped out. Maybe you are getting a slight movement in your agitator? If you press down on the agitator while its supposed to be washing does it feel like it wants to turn? If so, I would remove the agitator (yours has a set screw about 2/3's of the way down) and check the splines to see if they are worn.

Hello,

Does the washer fill to the selected level? If so, do you hear the motor running during the agitate mode?
