Yes, your clutch may be worn out, or the gearcase has leaked some oil and fouled the clutch band.
Post the model number and we could give more specific info.

That's a Whirlpool built direct drive washer.
The clutch is Whirlpool part # 285785
You need to remove the cabinet and inspect the area around the gearcase and clutch for oil. If you find a lot of oil, you'll need to replace the gearcase. You could also just lean it back and look from the bottom.

| yes they are 2 seperate parts and have different functions. you probably need a gearcase and clutch to take care of your problem, you can try just the clutch 1st if that works then return the g/c i replace both when i do it. all parts available thru this site.

Hi again. I looked again and noticed that there is a small amount of oil on the trans case. Does this mean the gearcase is shot? I assume that it is not advisable to replace the gearcase and clutch for around $200 due to the cost.
The washer can be made to spin by helping it get started by hand. Do any of these symptoms help determine if the gearcase or clutch is bad?
Thanks

| Rule out the drive block as a possible problem as well. Take a look at this link and you should be able to narrow down the problem.

| That looks like the type of set up that is designed for your 1/2 inch socket extention, insert it into the square hole in the middle to remove that housing then you will have access to the bolt to remove so can pull the agitator out...
