    Whirlpool washer will not agitate or spin
    I have a top load Whirlpool washer that will fill but not agitate or spin. It also gives a ticking sound and a slight "electrical burning" smell. Any ideas?

    The coupler between the motor and transmisison has gone bad. Easy fix and cost around $35.00 if you do it yourself
