Hotpoint Washer Not Agitating: Safe Checks and Motor Reset Limits
If your Hotpoint is a top-load washer with an agitator or infusor, first confirm that the lid is closed and that the washer has finished filling; some models wait about 20–30 seconds before engaging the drive. A quiet washer may still be agitating, so mark one item, run a brief wash portion, and check whether the item moved.

Kenmore 796.2927200 washer shows OE and will not agitate after storage
Do not assume that a Kenmore 796.2927200 that has been stored for ten years needs a drive part just because it will not agitate. First record the complete rating-plate identity, the exact display (OE or another two-character code), whether water remains in the tub, and whether the machine ever reaches a wash motion.
