Model awn432sp113tw01 Speed Queen top load washer that spins but doesn't agitate. Any ideas? Google-fu is lacking

Do these have shift solenoids like the older Kenmore have?

No shift solenoids.

Here's a parts/diagram manual.

Neat. So it would appear the motor would reverse directions to change between modes?

plugged in? I'm not sure what this means. Is the washer plugged in? Yes

fills? Yes. Fills normally

timer advances? Yes. Timer advances and goes through the cycle like normal

humming sounds? Everything sounds normal except when it enters spin cycle, there is some rattling like plastic pieces are rattling inside. I took off the front panel but could not see any broken pieces or loose debris

lid closed? Runs normal when lid is closed. Everything stops when lid is open

Check for a stripped or broken drive bell underneath the agitator by pulling agitator straight up. Reference the parts diagram above.

How do you remove the drive bell? I took out the center screw underneath the bell plug, but it won't budge. Can't tell from the parts diagram if there is another screw to remove.

add some water....see if drive bell oscillates....

or in fact, since you have the front off............does the motor turn, belt moving, pulley in motion during agitation sequence?....


now take the belt off, set to spin, is rattling noise still there?.....have you looked inside the pump?

Ended up being the idler pulley. Replaced the belt while we were in there as well. Hope this helps someone with the same symptoms!
