I have a Maytag Model A412, series 11 washing machine. After the machine fills with water the machine appears to start its cleaning cycle but the agitator doesn't work. The water starts & the motor appears to run but No agitation?? The belts are fine and the rinse & spin cycles work fine... What am I missing?

You need a new timer. It's an easy repair ...

Replace the "water inlet valve" on your machine. If you could post your model number I can point you to the part you need.

A Maytag A412 is well over 20 years old....
Best guess is a corroded upper drive shaft, the one that the agitator is mounted on. Certainly it can be called a transmission problem.

This is caused by a faulty water level switch. It is a diaphragm-like device that has a small clear plastic tube attached between the switch and the bottom of the washer's outer tub. As the water level increases, so does the pressure on the air in the plastic tube and when it reaches a certain level, it activates the switch to turn off the water and signals the timer to start the appropriate cycle. Check for any obstructions in or damage to the plastic tube. The switch can be tested using a multimeter or ohmmeter. Check for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty switch. Hope this helped and best wishes.

Sound like the lid switch has went out , you should hear it click when the lid is close to an inch of being closed , they are un-expensive and easy to replace and they go out often from use. Easy to find online with your real model number located under the lid.

The washer with the grind noise is a main bearing going out and may be covered under warr. through maytag.

Remove the cold hose from the machine.
Look inside the inlet you removed the hose from, there will be a screen.
Take it out, clean it, and replace it.
Problem solved.
