Hello, I am writing this post to shout out Jake, who has replied to everyone and general help has allowed me to locate my problem. My 2 year old Maytag washer was not agitating on wash cycle. (droning motor noise and only clicking heard when in wash cycle) I propped lid and observed with screw driver in lid lock. it appeared to be stuck in spin cycle and was impossible to turn agitator just the entire drum was moving partially back and forth, removed agitator inspected for worn splines, stuck undies, dirt anything! but it all looked good.
Searched further on forums and found shift fork problems with this similar model (thanks Jake) decided before I ordered this piece just to "check it out" after reading in forums him mentioning to make sure you can manually "shift" the transmission. upon inspection my shift fork popped off the transmission linkage!! no idea what caused this, probably me and the mrs overfilling the dang thing. My advice to anyone experiencing problems described perform visual inspections! these forums are full of tons of useful information. Thank you Jake your the arbiter of information here!
