Check out this cool video that Master kdog sent me...

Take a look at the fuse linked here

Fuse Link

Pop the top up on the dryer (with it unplugged)
The fuse is attached to the right rear wall of the dryer
right beside the terminal block (where the cord attaches)
unplug the wires from the fuse and check continuity
no continuity = bad...and if so check your venting
for a crimp or restriction as well as the lint filter housing,
it tends to clog up at the bottom.

correct the problem before replacing the fuse (if it's bad)
or it will blow again.

The most annoying part of this problem is that as it agitates, the agitator goes one direction and the basket spins the other. So the clothes never agitate they just spin with the basket.  Makes you think the basket brake is broken.  Except there's one problem, Sublime Master appl.tech.2901 explains...

this machine doesn"t have brakes...it coasts to a stop. that the reason it has a lid lock. yes you have a bad transmission. If your going to tackle this repair you should replace the spin bearing and seal as well.

First, do not use the model number on the manual, it's either truncated or just plain wrong and it's useless for parts and manual lookup.  Instead, come check out the videos and photos on this page.  Righteous!  

Master Reg gives a simple and sure way to tell if you have a leaky fill valve that's letting water come into the drum when the washer is off.  If you need water fill valve, you can buy it by clicking the picture below.

Un-plug Power Cord from Wall Outlet.
If water continues to enter, bad Water Valve.

The hot and cold water inlet valves are located at the back of the washer.
