Maytag washer will not agitate
I have ordered two new belts for this Maytag model A-500 but I don't really think that's the problem. It was being used and started smoking from a belt not turning on the pulley. I have checked the transmission and it seems to be working properly. The main drive pulley turns easily enough. When turned in the direction of agitation, the shaft that goes to the tub turns back and forth properly, but the agitator does not turn. The agitator seems to be lock up as it is hard to turn one way or the other from the top.
