Had same problem as this guy:
My Kenmore 70 series washer will not agitate or spin. It makes a loud
clicking noise instead of begin the agitate or spin cycle. It will fill and drain without a problem. I was washing sheets and a blanket when this started. I even tried
it empty to see if it was an overload.

My washer will not spin and makes a loud clicking noise
Was washing clothes and heard loud grinding/hum- opened top and noticed agitator barely moving. Tub will fill and empty/ but does not "spin" clothes as agitator seems to be stuck?
It took a repair man who knew what he was doing all of 30 minutes to fix it - worn out broken plastic coupler, he replaced with metal one. Service call plus labor plus minor part charge - still better than having to replace or do without!

I have the same problem with my 80 series. How do you get to this coupler to replace it?
I replaced the coupler and now its spins but makes a load clicking noise over and over with a smell of something burning. The transmission?
