My 1974 (?) Whirlpool washer model LFA5700G1 will not engage in gentle agitation or spin. Normal cycle works fine. Gentle/Knit/Perm Press will fill but only buzzes when trying to agitate and spin. Neutral drain works fine since it’s Normal speed. Any ideas? |

I am no expert. Just wanted to say that's a great looking Whirlpool. I always loved the shift from gentle wash to neutral drain. Very dramatic. :-) Could it be a motor problem with your machine? |

Beautiful machine!! I agree my first thought is something is going on with the low speed in the motor windings. |

Just curious, is the cool-down drain (Permanent Press and Knit cycles) low speed? |
