wait a minute, is the transmission pulley turning counterclockwise via the belt/motor but the tub is not moving??? Is there a water save button on the control panel? If so set the dial to wash and pull it out, press the water saver button and the washer should start to agitate, does the agitator go back and forth? |

Yes don't put any water in it yet. Plug the machine in and put the dial to a wash time like 8 or 10. Pull the dial out and the water valve solenoid(s) will buzz, then PRESS and hold the Water Saver Button for one second and the washer will begin to agitate (meaning the motor will turn the belt in a clockwise direction). See what it does and let us know.

Can the outer tub be moved by hand? Sounds like the spin clutch spring isn't grabbing the spin tube or the tub is frozen. |

That is totally fabulous Philip, now get some really hot water into the outer tub (use a hose connected to the sink) and let the filter-flow system pump it up into the wash tub (setting the dial to a wash time again and pressing the water saver button). Then spin it out and connect the washer to water. Give it a full test and let us know what you find.
