Grampa for Model Number Whirlpool LSW9700PQ Washer will fill, but not agitate. There is a burning smell present... After letting the machine sit for a while I found that it will spin and pump out the water in the basket. But when I tried to do an "extra small" wash the same thing happened; burning smell, no agitation. Also no spin. After waiting again the machine would spin and pump out the basket. If I went back to the agitate mode, it wouldn't agitate. Switching quickly back to the spin mode it would resume spinning... Any ideas?
Answer Hello Grampa. Remove the motor from the transmission. Try running it and see if the motor runs. If it does, then the transmission is locked up and will need to be replaced. If it does not run, the motor may be bad on the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, April 11, 2014
