Washer fills and timer advances but it will not agitate, nor empty nor

I have a 70 series model 110 20852 990 kenmore washer.

Serial # CK 1120916

Type 111

The washer will fill with water but do nothing else. The timer advances and the door switch will stop the timer when opened if it is in spin cycle.

It will not agitate, nor drain, nor spin.

The problem appeared suddenly.

It seems as if the door switch works because it will stop and start the timer during parts of the cycle.

The Water level switch works as I can finely control how much water enters the tub from low water to high water. Bailing the tub out and restarting the cycle will fill with water again.

Temp select switch works as different temp selects properly pick which water line opens.

The machine just stops at fill and the timer moves along and nothing else happens.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Water will drain from the tub when I take the hose out of the stand pipe and put it under the level of the water in the tub.

Cause 1

Agitator Repair Kit

If the washer won't agitate, replacing the agitator repair kit may solve the problem. The kit contains the agitator components that are most likely to wear out and/or fail. If any of the parts are worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace the kit.

Cause 2

Drive Block or Bell

The drive block connects the washer transmission to the agitator. If the drive block is worn out, the transmission shaft will still move back and forth, but the agitator will only move slightly or will not move at all. Inspect the drive block for damage. If the drive block is worn out, stripped, or damaged, replace it.

Cause 3

Motor Coupling

The motor coupling connects the motor to the washer transmission. If the washer is overloaded, the motor coupling will fail in order to protect both the motor and transmission. The motor coupling can also fail due to normal wear. Inspect the motor coupling to determine if it is broken. If the motor coupling is broken, replace it.

Thank you for these comments and I will follow up tomorrow. I will say that the machine doesn't appear to make any attempt at anything. No weird noises, no wiggling agitator no nothing except for filling the tub and the timer running to the end of the cycle.
