Hi @deepdiver359
Don't know about your Q2 but with Q1 it may be a problem with the agitate cam in the gearbox.
Here's a [document|35700|manual] for repairing older direct drive Whirlpool washers that may help you to narrow it down. (I couldn't find the tech sheet for your model Whirlpool p/n LIT4314044).
Also if you haven't already got it, here's the [https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/1vw7l6jtm3-000582/kenmore-11026914691-washer-parts|parts list] that is ''useful'' if you find a faulty part and it needs replacing.
When you find the wanted part in the list, you'll see that the ''manufacturer's part number'' for the part is listed with it. Search online for the part number ''only'' to find suppliers that suit you best.
