I don't believe it is your machine as much as it is your water needs testing. You might have too hard of water. Possibly rust, calcium, fluoride, or chlorine. Your PH could be too high or too low and your water could be acidic or more likely alkaline. Alkaline water will definitely create anomalous water staining.

Pop off the cap on top of the agitator. After you've done that, you'll see a bolt head down inside the agitator. Grab a socket wrench and the appropriate size socket and remove the bolt. Then, lift up on the agitator and it should come out. Then, remove that piece that the head of the bolt you removed was holding down. That's where the doggits live. You should be able to figure it out from there.

See that thing where you attach your hot and cold water hoses to? That's your water inlet valve assembly.

Lift the lid up and look below the lid along the back of the tub rim.

Sounds like a clogged pump or outlet hose. They're pretty easy to check/replace, but you will spill a lot of water if you don't have a locking hose clamp. The cabinet comes off from the front, (after loosening the control panel, unplugging the lid switch, and popping the spring clips behind the panel), so you should have a good amount of room to set the cabinet aside, but you'll then have easy access to the workings, with the pump and outlet hoses right in front.

check the lid switch

Often agitator tops do spin somewhat freely, for safety reasons. Most of the work gets done at the bottom, anyway. Unless your clothes are getting tied in knots, I wouldn't worry about it. But if you want to look, they're usually not that hard to remove. I can't picture yours off the top of my head, but look for a cap/cover/cup on top that can be removed by hand, and there might be a bolt underneath that. There's usually a lot of friction in addition to the bolt holding it in place, so you might use an old towel slipped under the agitator and cinched to give you more leverage/grip. Good luck.

If your washer's model number is LSQ9549L, grab a pair of vice grips, go behind the machine, squeeze the clamp which holds the drain hose attached to the water pump exit port, and pull the hose off. You might want to put a towel on the floor before you pull the drain hose off
