    Do I fix my washing machine?

    Very likely the upper bearing has gotten water in it from bad upper seal and is shot-this is repairable,but cost may exceed machine worth if you have a repair shop do the work,,,Will need to replace transmission and some other small parts for a fix .

    Thor Automagic transmission locked up

    probably severely congealed grease or oil is the cause-could put in gasoline or diesel,let it sit a few hours,then start working the pulley back and forth till it starts to rotate.
