How can I repair a Whirpool washing machine that spins but doesn't agitate?
I'm not sure if you can buy parts for the transmission or if you'd even be able to repair it to working order anyway. Being that it's a $300 assembly, isn't it new washer time? If you can't find individual parts for the transmission, the point is moot. I had one with a bad main bearing; it would agitate but couldn't spin under load. I'll be the first to admit that I'm just a parts swapper; entirely disassembling a washing machine would not make me any money and would probably optionally cost you the same, in lost time (and more parts when it breaks again next year; you'd still have an old washer).
