If not, and the tub should also move while the machine is running the
wash cycle, what could be some of the reasons that has caused the
problem? is the tub geared via a transmission, or what?

I am not certain, but I think that the gentle/normal speed selection
is also not working.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting this problem will be appreciated.
This machine is not old; purchased around September Labor Day of year
2002.

Thanks.

The wash tub should not be moving on this style of an washer when the
washer is agitating.

Hi Jeff:

Thank you for your information, which is the best news for me to hear.
Perhaps I am recalling operation of the old Westinghouse (1974 era)
washing machine, because I have convinced myself that the tub was
rotating during the wash cycle.

I have been to http://www.applianceaid.com/ on several brief
occassions. Thanks for that also and regards.
