Hi Seth.
If after pulling the timer knob the washer will not start, you can test it for continuity with a multimeter. Remove power from thewashing machine and find the timer contacts. Some toploaders have a start switch that is a momentary contact type of switch. This switch will be located on the control panel.10 Apr 2015

This is commonly caused by a broken motor coupling. If the washer fills and drains, but will not agitate or spin, the motor coupling is likely the cause. The coupling takes the place of a drive belt and couples the drive motor to the gearcase (transmission). This configuration is known as "direct-drive". The coupling can wear out due to normal wear and tear and easy to replace. The following link explains how:
