Get an error code of F1 shortly after the washer begins filling. The only way to complete a cycle is to keep holding cancel, and then restarting the machine several times.
F1 is a very bad error unfortunately. Try unplugging the unit 60 seconds to see if it will reset the control board. If not, then you will need a new relay control board which is about $200, because F1 means that the board has detected an internal short inside the control board itself.

Hi and welcome to FixYa. I am Kelly.
If you can use a mirror carefully under the machine and see that the motor is actually turning both belts when it is supposed to be agitating. (CAUTION the pump belt is in the very front of the machine base.) I suspect that it is driving the belts normally.
Inside the transmission there is a nylon gear that drives the agitator shaft for agitation. It sounds like the nylon gear has stripped gear teeth. This can be repaired and parts are available but it is a major undertaking, time consuming and not cheap.
To repair this if the nylon gear has failed the top, agitator, inner and outer tubs, large lower pulley and transmission must be removed. I will say this is not your average repair. Let me just add that this washer can still serve a long service life if repaired.
(I personally own a LAT9700 and just spent the time and money to overhaul it 2 weeks ago) Your call on having it repaired or replacement i.e evaluation / comparison time..... . This repair if done correctly by a seasoned tech takes well over 2 hours of shop time so keep that labor expense in mind. I have worked on Maytags for over 40 years that started with the Family business.
Thanks for choosing FixYa.
Kelly

This isnt really a solution because Im having the same problem. The repair man that came said that is buildup of soap in the water line. I use my own powder soap, not h/e, and its not desolving and getting built up in the lines. Im not sure what to do to get it to stop doing this. He suggested cutting back on the amount of soap and running hot water through the lines which I have done for the last couple of days but I still have this problem.

You must have trash or sediment in your pressure tube hose. 
Remove it from the pressure switch and blow the stuff out then re-secure the hose and pump out any water in the tub. Then retry. Use this handy dandy service manual as a GUIDE

The solution is easy. Remove the screws in the back and find the pressure tubing from tub to the control. Remove it and blow through that tubing to get the sand and sediment out of their. Re attach the tubing and retry. I have more:
