Transmission Gearcase Assembly
The gearcase is responsible for converting the high-speed rotary motion of the motor into the reciprocating motion required for agitation. If the internal gears (pinion or orbital) seize or strip, the input pulley will lock in the agitation direction, causing the drive belt to slip and create friction/heat while the motor attempts to turn it. This explains why the unit can still spin (which utilizes a different internal mechanical path) but cannot oscillate the agitator.

Basket Drive Hub Kit
The drive hub connects the transmission output shaft to the wash basket and agitator. The plastic splines on this hub are designed to be a sacrificial failure point; if they strip, the transmission shaft will spin freely without moving the agitator. While this usually doesn't cause a 'burning belt' smell, it is the primary cause of 'no agitation' when the motor is running freely without resistance.

Drive Belt
If the transmission has experienced intermittent seizing, the drive belt has likely suffered significant glazing or material loss due to friction against the stalled pulley. A worn or stretched belt will lack the coefficient of friction required to transfer torque to the transmission under the load of a full water tub, leading to slip during the transition to agitation.
