Touchmatic Washer just locked up after a wash cycle. Never a problem before. With great effort I can move the agitator counter clockwise and then it goes relatively freely, but only a little clockwise motion before it tightens up again. it acts like it is binding on something. The motor hums for a moment then nothing.
Presume it has a circuit breaker. Don't know if this means transmission trouble, brake trouble, or a broken belt that is binding, and haven't any knowlidge of how to open this washer up. Thought it would open from the back but does not.
There used to be Repair Manuals showing how to open these things up and test. Where are they?

The washer is accessed through the front of the machine.

There are two screws at the bottom of the front panel.

Remove the screws and pull the panel out and down.

This will give your access to the inside.

Check under the tub and see if something got between the inner and outer tub.

Here is a link to your washer model LW3903L.
