How to replace the brake pads on speed queen washer Google Search

Cut 3 pieces of wood a bit thicker than the new pads.
Jam then in the brake to relieve the pressure on the pads.
Undo 1 or 2 screws holding pad and pull out.
Reassemble reverse order

the motor spins with out the belt , makes me tend to discount the capacitor
I would be looking for a tub brake that is not being opened to allow the tub to agitate
there are solenoid activated brake under the machine the applies a brake when you lift the lid during wash, when the program is finished
have a technician check it out

Are there coins or buttons in the load?

there are 2 5/16 screws located at the bottom of the front panel. Remove the screws and pull the front panel away from the machine on the bottom.

Remove the belt check the idler pully- should turn freely.

If tight you shoud replace , pulley,shaft and maybe belt.

either the belt is broken or the belt is already worn out.,

the washer transmission has failed.

Check the belt and idler pully
The pully shoud turn freely

You should be able to get a replacement agitator from partselect.com or repairclinic.com. look on line for an agitator however How old is the washer, would you give me the serial number.
