We have seen hundreds of those belt driven transmissions break internally...

And yes wig-wag and agitator dogs ate real names, honest we didn;t make them up:cool:

Thanks FatMan, did not think anyone would care if I was gone or not.  :shock:  Well, some people at least.  I do feel better but not up to par.  But when you own your own business you just have to keep going like the Enigizer Bunny...........;)

Also, if the control magnet (wig-wag) was bad on the agitate side it would fill and drain and would not try to agitate. If the wire was breaking inside of the insulation, making and breaking contact, would do the "demented washer syndrone"  Agitate, drain, agitate, drain, agitate, drain.  Can not think of anything that would cause the agitator to go just to the right on a belt driven washer.  I have seen this on a DD washer. Usually if the spring inside of the transmission were broken, it would just sit there and do a "ka-tunk, ka-tunk, ka-tunk" and not move, just jerk around in the same place.

Liesel, try ckecking your wig wag and the wiring harness to it. The wire is prone to breaking (this wire moves when the motor is running). Swap the yellow and red wires,put your washer into spin cycle,no water needed,and see if your machine agitates ok. I think it will. Let me know.

The left side coil is for spin, the one with the red wire going to it.  If that side is bad, you will not spin, but have to replace the whole control magnet.
