Scroll down a bit and you see the agitator troubleshooting section.

Good luck, be safe, and make sure you unplug the machine FIRST! :)

I had the same problem with my washing machine and found the problem to be a part called "dog ear cogs". These cogs catch and make the agitator turn back and forth. Remove the top part of the agitator and see if the cogs are worn or turn the top part of the agitator and if it keeps turning without stopping they need replacing. They only cost around 5.00 a set (shipping costs more) but order more than one set because once they start wearing out they usually need replacing every 6 months if you do a lot of washing.
