check the dogs in the agitator take off the cap it should rachett if it turns free replace the dogs in the agitator

There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html that will walk you thru the replacement of the agitator dogs, this is a common problem with this style washer.

Check the agitator by turning it back and forth. It should work like a ratchet (turns one way, locks the other way).If you're able to turn it in both directions, the agitator dogs are worn and need to be replaced.
Remove the agitator cap and the bolt that holds down the agitator. With the bolt out you can remove the top section of the agitator (auger) where you should see 4 small white or beige plastic gears (dogs). Replace those and it should be ok.

Part number is 80040

Let me know if you need more help.
Good luck!
