To the right of the longer vertical mark at the top of the dial is the beginning of the normal wash cycle. These washers are known for cleaning well so there could be an issue. First thing I would do is start the normal cycle and use something to depress the lid safety switch so that you can watch the machine agitate once it fills with water. I’ve got a feeling you may have a bad agitator coupling and the agitator is slipping instead of doing it’s job. With a full load of clothes in the machine observe the agitation and you will know immediately if it is slipping or not. Let us know what you find.

If the agitator is not moving when it is supposed to the coupling is the problem. The squeaking during agitation is a dead giveaway. Grab the agitator on either side at the bottom with your fingers underneath on opposite sides and pull up. You should be able to remove the agitator doing this. Send a picture of the top of the transmission shaft once removed and I’ll tell you where to go from there.

Thank you so much for your help! We ordered the part and it came yesterday. Husband got it swapped out this morning and seems to be tip top now. So happy to not have to haul away a perfectly good machine! | ||
