Hi everyone i'm new here and ,I am trying to fix my hot point washer, it does not agitate, and i know it's stuck because it agitates when it wants to,if anybody has a repair manual out there for my washer please help me out. My Washer is a hot point model # LW3400SBLWH
i'm assuming it's over 20 years,it is also a 6cycle washer.

loose belt?

if motor is running,but no agitation,possibly has a loose,
glazed belt(does it spin ok?)though i've never seen it before,
possible there is a transmission problem-very easy to replace
in a filter-flo GE or hotpoint.

NON AGITATING HP WASHER

Make sure the agitator is still attached to the agitator shaft, you should not be able to turn it buy hand with out the basket turning.

We need to know the condition of the belt, a lot of these FF I have come across have the tranny leaking onto the belt and then it slips....

I had a Hotpoint that had the "handwash activator" agitator and it wasn't working without my hand forcing it. The problem was the plastic "teeth' that engaged into the center post had worn from friction and got stripped. i had to replace the old activator with a new one I had found on another Hotpoint at the dump.
