A washing machine can stop agitating due to several common mechanical and electrical failures. In belt-driven models, a stretched, oil-contaminated, or snapped drive belt prevents the motor from turning the transmission pulley. In direct-drive washers, a sheared plastic motor coupler disconnects the motor from the transmission shaft entirely. Other frequent causes include a faulty lid switch that cuts power to the motor for safety, completely stripped internal agitator drive dogs, or a jammed transmission clutch assembly.
