My washing machine has a series of problems that seem to have started all at once. When I start it, it fills just fine, then begins to agitate. Sometime during the wash cycle, it stops agitating. It will eventually drain & spin, but the spin seems to start & stop until it builds up enough momentum to spin fast. It will then fill with water to rinse, and will do the same start & stop behavior. I have been watching it spin & sometimes a small amount of water is released when it is spinning. Is there one thing that could be the problem or have several things happened at once to cause this behavior?

if this is a two piece agitator,it should behave like a ratchet turn freely clockwise and catch counter clockwise if it doesn't catch the agitator "dogs " are shot this is a verry inexpencive repair
Remove the hoses which provide the washer with water. Check to make sure they are not clogged. At the back of the washer where the hoses connect there are screens. Check them to make sure they are clear also.
Please be carful as running the agitator without enough water will overheat and kick out the motor, however it should be ok when it resets itself.
Yes, the machine should stop agitating when you lift the lid so this too is part of the problem.
After looking at the print I can only suggest that the cam contacts in the timer ( contacts 12 and 14) that start the motor are burned and stuck together.

Sounds like your pressure switch behind the control panel is stuck. Try unhooking the tube going to the switch and see if it breaks free. If not replace the switch.
