Cause 1
Agitator Repair Kit
If the washer won't agitate, replacing the agitator repair kit may solve the problem. The kit contains the agitator components that are most likely to wear out and/or fail. If any of the parts are worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace the kit.
Cause 2
Drive Block or Bell
The drive block connects the washer transmission to the agitator. If the drive block is worn out, the transmission shaft will still move back and forth, but the agitator will only move slightly or will not move at all. Inspect the drive block for damage. If the drive block is worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace it.
Cause 3
Motor Coupling
The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

Thank you so much for your advice. I disassembled agitator and that gear case. All the parts looked fairly good. So I reassembled and add new gearcase oil. My washer started working again.

Great! Not sure how much wear it got. They usually don't need added oil, keep an eye on it, watch for oil on clothes. The agitator kits are fairly inexpensive.

I have this same issue. My kenmore is a top loader but does not have the agitator in the middle but it does agitate still. Some of my clothes had oil in it coming out of the wash this weekend and I couldn’t figure out why. Would these helpful this work for my washer to?
