Well, my dad has this whirlpool ultimate care II clothes washer. So, 2 days ago it stopped spinning or agitating. It will fill and drain just fine. Well, I poke around on the good ole' internet, most ideas are to check the drive coupler, which is pertfect. Other ideas say clutch or brake assemblies. These look good also. The motor seems to work fine. When I spin the drum by hand, it wants to go but does not.
I procede to pull the gearbox out, then disassemble. I do not find any broken parts or any wear signs. I can spin the input shaft by hand, the agitator mechanism seems to work ok, but the shaft has no movement no matter which way the input is turned.
Most of the things I read by searching seem to indicate a bad gearbox.
So, any ideas, experience, suggestions, or thoughts?
