Sorry for the delay. You need to replaced your agitator dogs. (yes this is really what they call them). They are 4 small pieces inside the agitator that act as a "clutch" They allow the top half of the agitator to turn freely one direction and not the other. When the worn dogs slip, it causes a grinding/ grunting type noise from the machine. So first this fist. You will need to purchase the inexpensive dogs from a local appliance parts store or from the manufactures web site on line. (part # 80040).

For the model you have, begin by removing the fabric softner dispenser on top of the agitator. It just sits in the with a clip, so gently rock it back and forth until it comes free. Under it you will find a mostly clear plastic cap with a black seal around it. Use the tabs on the cap to pry/ pull it up. Underneath you will find a 7/16" bolt. Go ahead and take that out. Now you will be able to remove the top half of the agitator by pulling it straight up. If the bottom half comes with it, not to worry. Look down in the opening where you just removed the bolt from. On the bottom you will see 2 white plastic tabs, pry these with a small flat head screw driver to separate the lower half from the upper half. Now weather you had to separate the 2 halves or the top came off by itself, take the top half of the agitator and turn it upside down. You will feel the inner piece fall out. Now we will work with just the inner peice. Turn it upside down (so you can see the dogs just like the ones you purchased) There is a small collar that keeps them in place. Gently pry it up. (it should slide pretty easy. Remove the old dogs. Now using a paper towel of washclothe, wipe down any fabric softner, or shavings from the old dogs, so the new ones can move smoothly. Install the new dog and begin re-assembly. I would reccomend wiping out the inside of the large peice that is one the top half of the agitator too. Re-assemble in reverse order. To get the clear cap back on more easily, a thin rubbing of liquid detergent or fabric softner on the edge of the black seal, will help it go in without binding so much.

To check the agitator. Start the washer into wash cycle. Once started Push down on top of agitator. If it catches some times or all of the time when pushing down, then then doggets are worn, under the agitator. You`ll have to remove the agitator to see these. If by pushing down on the agitator, nothing changes, Then you probably have a transmition problem. Check this and let me know what you find.

When the clothes are wet at the end of a cycle, check these:

Motor coupler
Spin cycle
Siphoning
Water-inlet valve
Motor coupler To test the motor coupler, re-start the washer in its spin cycle. Let the machine run for a minute, and then open the lid and notice whether the tub is spinning: 

• If it's spinning when you lift the lid, the coupler is fine.



• If it isn't spinning--and your machine was produced by Whirlpool®--you may have a broken coupler. Many Whirlpool-made washers use a small, relatively inexpensive device called a motor coupling. This plastic-and-rubber component is mounted to the shaft of the motor on one side, and to the transmission on the other. Over time, the coupler wears out and fails. When that happens, you need to replace it completely.

Spin cycle If the washer doesn't reach its proper spin speed, the clothes may be too wet at the end of a cycle. Check to be sure the load is properly balanced and run a spin cycle again. If the clothes are still wet, you may have a worn or loose belt (Maytag®), a worn clutch (GE®/Hotpoint®), or a worn motor pulley or tub bearing. Replace the applicable component. 

Alternatively, there could be clothes caught between the inner and outer tubs. Read the "It spins but won't pump" section of the "It won't drain" section. Also, there could be other things that cause friction on the drive train. Seek the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.

Siphoning If the water that pumps from the machine goes right back into the machine after the spin cycle, it may be because your washer is siphoning the water from a laundry tub with a slow drain, back into the washer. Try to improve the draining of the laundry tub. (Is there something stuck in the drain?) Also, be sure the drain hose doesn't reach more than about 4 inches into the laundry tub. If it does, cut off the excess.

Water-inlet valve Water-inlet valves eventually fail. One problem that may develop with a water-inlet valve is that it can no longer completely shut off when the electricity is turned off to it. Then, the valve may leak and drip water into the clothes tub--you may notice that your washer has water in it when you haven't used it for a few days. To fix this, replace the valve.

Agitator's don't spin on wash cycle.

I would suggest washing the clothes without soap until they rinse clear. If you have hard water, the soap will not easily rinse out of clothes, or off of you when you use soap to wash or shower.

Reduce the amount of soap you use in each wash if this is the case. It sounds like your washing machine is working right.
