I put a load of clothes in my washer last night. It started making a really bad squealling noice. I thought it would be a belt. Afte researching this model doesn’t have a belt. I can turn the top agitator but the bottom one is stuck. Dose this mean the transmission has gone bad? If so is it worth repairing or buying a new one?
Thanks in advance for all help

Hi.
This is the belt driven washer.If you tip it back you’ll see the belt under it.
Try to turn the transmission pulley manually.It suppose to agitate in one direction and spin the tub in opposite.
No agitation - replace the transmission.
The transmission 35-6615
It’s expansive and requires some skills and tools.
