WHY MY AGITATOR IS NOT WORKING
You probably need a new agitator coupler. Part number: WH49X10042. To check it remove the agitator by yanking straight up on it. It should pop right off, there are no screws to remove. Under it will be a plastic coupler that has a 7/16 bolt in the top of it. Without removing the bolt see if the coupler will spin. It shouldn't. If it does spin remove the bolt and pull the coupler off. It is sitting on the top of your transmission. If you see oil around the inside of the coupler or pooled where the tranny-splines enter the neck, you will need a new transmission as well. Let me know if that happens. Hopefully, it is just the coupler. Make sure to clean the trans splines well. The plastic teeth from the coupler will need to be removed from the splines. They come out easy but make sure to get them all. It can be tough to get on and tougher to get back off if you don't get it clean enough. Consider putting some petroleum jelly around the splines before pushing the coupler into place. The coupler will come with a new bolt so do what it takes to get the old one off. usually they are no problem. If the coupler doesn't spin let me know.
GE WWSE5200B Top Load Washer does not drain or spin
Jim, we have same problem with Simpson top loader washing machine.Our repairer eventually diagnosed it as a problem with the electronics but it can't be fixed. So we have a 3 year old machine with good pump , motor, gearbox etc but need to buy new machine now. Yours might be similar problem. Don't buy a simpson. Sorry, this is just what we've been told.Jenny
Will not drain and spin
Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.
Here are my complete and generic guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

Remove the front panel by pushing downwards on the quick clip between the top and the front. Align your putty knife with the edge of the lid on each side to find them clips, get the pump off there and take it apart, get the junk out of it and put it back together.
