Do it yourself. If you have to call a repairman you should save some money and go buy a new one.

It's running. The agitator isn't working. I tried running a diagnostic but no codes showed up.

Hold off as long as possible/ fix it yourself

Did you read the appliance manual?

No, just YouTube. Not sure if we still have it- will look around. I thought you guys would have all the answers.

Richard Hebert. Reasonably priced. He's a Maytag dealer but does work on other brands, IIRC.

What is your unit doing? A lot of washing machine repairs are fairly simple.

As in filling up?

Is it spinning when you hit the spin cycle? If it is never moving, either your belt(unles it's direct drive)is broken, your motor is not working, or your transmission is not working. They get progressively more expensive as you go along. Depending on the cost of the unit, it may be advisable to buy a new one. But if you can get it repaired for less than half of a replacement, it's probably worth it.

Thanks for the helpful responses!

And yes it's filling up, just not spinning when it's on the "spin cycle". It just sits there making a noise like it's trying to spin but can't.

Probably your tranny. That's what happened to my Bravos. Just bought a Speed Queen. Better warranty and easier to repair.

Belle sounds like it's time for a new washing machine. Seems like that is the way to go now. If youtube doesn't have an answer then type in model and year in Google gotta have a forum somewhere. Good luck hope it doesn't cost you to much.


Eta: it may have been knocked out of balance or alignment during a spin cycle. You may need someone to move it back into position
