maytag a700 will not agitate or spin belts are good. at the start of spin cycle machine makes its usual clunk and about a quarter turn then stops and hums. so if not belts - ?? | ||

yes, i can spin the pulleys by hand. so that means the transmission is locked up? | ||

could, but you said it spins and releases fine....
just wondering if its the motor, works OK alone, but under a load, theres not enough strength.... seems odd for everything to work not attached, yet assembled together, and something is stopping it... if it was just a spin issue, I would almost say theres a sock stuck between the tubs....but since it wont agitate either... this one is a puzzler | ||
