Whirlpool Washer Agitator Not Working

Whirlpool Washer Agitator Not Working

JIM -- Saturday, 29 September 2001, at 11:55 a.m.

My Whirlpool washing machine has two agitators, one on the base of the shaft, the other is on the shaft itself, the base agitator does what it is supposed to do, but the one that sits on top of that just spins freely and not at all when clothes are loaded, any suggestions on repairing this. Thank you.

On the 2 piece agitators there are little cogs referred to as "agitator dogs" that often wear out and need to be replaced. See:

Whirlpool / Kenmore / Roper / KitchenAid Washer, Agitator Dog Replacement

They are sold in package of 4. You can see a larger illustration of them at the link below.
