Kenmore Washer..won't spin..or drain

It fills up with water just fine but won't engage into spin or drain cycle...just a buzz sound as if the motor is trying to engage...I know the lid switch is not the issue here...I even duct taped it to stay depressed... "on" ...She is going out to buy a new one but I figured I would ask in case I can fix it before she spends the dough. thanx...tom

pop the 2 clips off the water pump and see if she will spin with the pump removed from motor. if so remove the sock in the pump

Dose it agitate? Dose the water drain out? If it doesn't Agitate, spin but drains water out you need a Motor coupler. Part # 285753A. From sears, Or any local appliance parts store. If doesn't do what I said follow Davids advise
