Jeff for Model Number NTW4601BQ1 Hi, Amana Top load NTW4601BQ1 Fills and spins fine but when in agitate mode the agitator AND tub both move from side to side about 2 inches back and forth and nothing else (apart from buzzing and clicking) Agitator has been removed and inspected, splines are fine as is the drive block. All splines and teeth in good condition. Inspected underneath and belt good, removal of large pulley and all plastic gears underneath in good condition. All plastic parts intact and in good condition. Could this be a faulty actuator or clutch? Many thanks. JS
Answer Hello Jeff, check that the splutch cam/clutch upper and lower haves are separated when in agitation mode otherwise the motor will be trying to turn the tub instead of just the agitator. The shifter has an arm that fits into a lever in the splutch , check if either is broken, the splutch may be stuck in spin mode. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, May 9, 2022
