The belt broke

normally a commercial type washer spins on a horizontal axis, if this is the case it is either a belt problem (cheap, easy fix), or a transmission problem (expensive, easier to replace washer). If it is a top loader, thjen there is a device, outside of the transmission, called a wig-wag (true), that most likely needs to be replaced. If you are not familiar with mechanics, do not try to fix any of these problems yourself, as they are rather involved and can be time and money consuming for the untrained. If you enjoy tinkering, have at it, it can not only be fun, but educational. This is how I learned some of the many skills I have now.

No agitation could mean that there's a transmission problem. Bet you didn't think a washer had one did you? Yep....a clutch too. Belts don't usually have anything to do with the agitation if it's the "up and down" type. The belts are usually associated with the spin cycles.
Could also be a timer issue but probably rare as timers usually go all at once. Just call your local appliance repairman.

you have a belt broken this is frequently with the aid of age and the advance of confusing water stains interior the drum. frequently that's much less complicated and extra low fee to get a sparkling one than to have somebody take a seem at it. The preliminary fee to come again on your place is around $80 5 and $50 an hour hard artwork plus areas once you will get a great one for the comparable fee.

You probably need a belt that controls the spinning action.

Maybe there's a screw loose. I'd call a repair guy. But before you do that, try to see for yourself what's wrong. That way you won't have to pay hundreds for one simple thing. Good luck
