My clothes washer has stopped agitating and spinning leaving my clothes soaking wet. Today I took it apart and noticed that the pully on the motor would just spin and the belt would slip. I replaced the belt and tightened it up. It spun just fine with nothing in washer. Ran a test load and it won't spin. I can spin the drum fine and it doesn't feel like there is any resistance on the drum. If I open and shut the lid the motor trys to spin but stops.I'm guessing the motor is getting weak but want to see if there is anything else to check so I don't have to start throwing parts at it.

The motor probably isn't at fault. The transmission is what imparts the agitator and the spin cycle. does the belt go around a large pulley underneath the base plate? There's a shaft that goes up into the transmission. go to repairclinic dot com and look up an exploded diagram of your washer. -
Yes that's how the belt is run. Small pully on the motor to a larger one under the drum.Comment
