The motor runs through the cycle and turns off like normal. The belt is on and turns. If I grab the tub the agitater doesn't spin. What's the problem?

Your description is rather vague. Sounds to me like the timer is working correctly, do you hear the motor running? have you pulled away from the wall and removed the back to see if the belt is still on?

It was a Kenmore top load washer that wouldn't spin. Here's the link to a Kenmore/Whirlpool video repair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYB5x-IqtIM I didn't find a link for a GE but you could search youtube.com for one.
