Inglis IM44000 washer: noise and no drain or spin

[Forester8]

Hello. My Inglis top loading washer just stopped spinning and is making sort of a high speed tick sound. It seemed to finish the first agitation cycle and then started acting this way when it should have started the spin/drain cycle. It is a small load of clothes and none seem jammed. I cannot turn the agitator in either direction with moderate force. I live in a very remote area 1 hour from nearest city, so getting a technician here would be difficult and very expensive. Any suggestions on what the problem might be? Thanks!

Most washers won’t spin until they drain. There could be a drain obstruction or bad pump. Ticking could be something in pump. That’s were I’d start my investigation.

I found the problem. It was the coupler. Fairly cheap and easy fix!
