Yes sounds like you have now disturbed the seal and will need a new one, remove the agitator and inner drum to get at the seals, to remove the agitator pull off the softner cap and remove bolt form down inside.
To remove the inner drum, the top part of the washer needs to be hinged back to gain access, to do this insert a flat balde 4" from each side at the seam with the front panel to release the clips, lid will now hinge back to give access to the drums, on the outer dum there are clips all the way round to remove the top section of the outer drum release these. remove the bolts under agitator to remove the inner drum. you should have access to the seals but it has been a while.
Reason for not agitating in first place is probably the water level switch at the rear of the drum with a small 8mm hose connecting it to the drum.
Testimonial: "Hi yozzer thanks. I saw that the leak was a tear in hose to bottom of tub and cut off the end and reconnected it. Machine just started working again."
Ok thanks for the feedback, glad you got it sorted, mine is the same machine, bear in mind once the gearbox goes the machine is scrap, all other problems are repairable.

dear Yozzer, thank you for your help. I took off the front and saww that the lezakl was aactrually from atear in the drain hose at the bottom of the tub near the metal bracket holding it. I just cut off the end to the tear and reconnected. Prior to this I had got it to spin in a spin cycle (no reason for it working now) and after fixing the leak and trying the wash cycle again it worked???
