Agitator function won’t work. Everything else works, fills with water, empties water, spins, etc… The only thing not working is the agitator. Belt is fine, timer is working as far as cycling through stages. Agitator cycle just doesn’t kick on. Thinking it’s electrical. Any ideas?

Hi.

Remove the two screws at the bottom corners of the front panel. Remove the front panel.
Set the washer for wash cycle and check if the motor running.
If the motor is running , then it’s bad transmission.
If not - most likely bad timer or wire harness.

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for Maytag LAT8405AAE WASHER-TOP LOADING | AppliancePartsPros.com

Thank you.Post the results.
