Machine only empties. It will not spin to wash or to remove water from cloths in any setting. When I opened the back and “giggled” wires, it started to agitate (turn in both directions) and fill. I went around front and loaded my clothes and it went back to only emptying. No amount of giggling will change it.

Problem solved. When I said the machine would only empty I was incorrect. It made sounds of emptying but water was not visible. My wife had washed several scatter rugs with rubber backing. That broke off and with the carpet fibers, clogged the coin/object catcher. She had run the machine several times, which allowed some water to drain, so it was not visible. With water in the machine it would not spin.
