OK. Turns out that there must have been something wrong with the pump. The belt was thought to be turning OK, but it was just sliding past the pump pully. Hand-rotated the pump pully and it woudln't budge. Wailed on it a little and something snapped. Tried it again and EVERYTHING worked. Fills...

Thanks guys. We'll check it out.

So it's not the belt. For a while the other day, it agitated fine, so I was going to do a load in it and just wring out the clothes by hand. And then it wouldn't agitate again.
