Agitator - is it working right?

I got this machine last week, and it doesn't seem like the agitator really 'swooshes' the clothes around. The best way I can describe it on paper is... a 'regular' washing machine - any machine I've had before, the agitator goes really fast, and I know the clothes are being cleaned. This one, the agitator seems to leisurely turn, pausing a second between each turn. It doesn't seem like this is really doing anything to clean the clothes. I have three boys and we are hard on clothes. I have ground in dirt that needs to come out. IS THIS NORMAL? I haven't found a phone number for GE yet that you can speak with an actual person. Please help!

    just bought the GE Profile and I have the same problem. My agitator moves slowly and when I remove my clothes they are still dirty! Deodorant is still on armpits of clothing! I've never had this problem with my old Whirlpool machine that had an agitator that really moved fast. This hydrowash concept is a bunch of garbage! I put the same load through a wash twice and still had dirty smelly clothes!! I set every dial the way it should be, no change! Any way to speed the agitator up??? Let's get this machine to do what it's supposed to do-WASH! I have two boys that play serious sports- I want my clothes cleaned!

    A few weeks ago the our GE wouldn't spin. So we replaced the belt. and it still didn't spin. So we manually spun the tub around a few times and it started spinning by itself.It made a very loud noises when washing for a week or so then the agitator stopped. Now the agitator top is loose on top and it will not spin.However it will rinse and the tub spins just not the agitator.

There is slipping in the transmission. older machines used a pair of electrical solenoids to shift between spin and agitate. newer machines use the motor direction to engage the transmission for agitate and reverses for empty and spin. GE service phone: 1-800-848-7620

I called GE and was told that this machine doesn't have a transmission. Although it's agitating slowly, they assure me that my clothes are being cleaned through the "Hydrowave" process (whatever that means!) Thank you very VERY much for your prompt reply. This a great service you offer and a great site.

Remove the lid lock catch and place it in the lock. Start the cycle with clothing in the machine and observe what the machine is doing or not doing. These machines don't wash that well as they use very little water. They also put LOTS of wear on clothing that lays on top of the agitator disc. However, they do spin at a fairly fast speed so you should have no soggy clothing at the bottom of the tub.

Upper portion of Whirlpool agitator not turning
Your agitator dogs are worn out. Remove the agitator and seperate the upper section from the lower section. There are 4 small teardrop shaped pieces that are the agitator dogs. They have either come apart over time or at least the teeth have worn off them.
Post back with any questions. Please verify the model number. I couldn't pull up a parts list for it. I know the last digit should be a 0 (zero) instead of an o.
Thanks/Mike

Clothes getting twisted around agitator
That does not sound good. New dogs sound great, but you must get to the bottom of why the clothes are becoming twisted on the agitator. Usually not enough WATER. Think loose flow of clothes submerged.
Long story short, you cannot jam pack this machine. Less clothes, more water, will equal long life.
Be sure that the mating teeth for the dogs, is not damaged. Slipping here would make loud noise.
More water, less clothes.

Whirlpool washer does not agitate/wash but the spin cycle seems to work. I've found that the bottom section of the agitator blades are turning but the top section does not turn. I can also turn the top...
Hi,
The problem that your washing machine is not agitating, you will need to check certain things.
Please check the timer to see if it is in good working order or not. Next you will need to check the motor and the motor switch. On some of the newer washers the door switch also controls the motor.
If the motor starts running after the washer has filled to the selected level, but the agitator doesn’t move, you will need to check the following parts.
The agitator dogs. They are located inside of the agitator clothes mover. You will need to remove them and check to see if they are in need of been replace.
The clothes mover. This part is the top part of the dual action agitator. Its job is to move the clothes from the top of the spin drum to the bottom part of the agitator.
You will also have to check the inside of the clothes mover to make sure that the gear like cuts are not worn out.
However another problem could be a broken motor coupler.
Thank you for contacting Fixya.com

My Maytag Ensignia washer is not spinning well. It bangs side to side with even the smallest loads. It seems like something is loose. Is this something I can fix myself or do I need a repair mans help....
Try leveling the washer... If the washer is level, then don't wrap the clothes around the agitator...drop the clothes straight in, on top of each other evenly around the agitator. The Ensignia washer has a Dual action agitator... That means the clothes roll over them selves, instead of moving side to side, as with a traditional agitator. wrapping the clothes around the agitator will cause the load to be un balanced and then cause the "banging" noise... this should take care of the problem...

Agitator making clicking noise when washing clothes; clothes wrapping around agitator
Hi,
If this a whirlpool brand washer, there are sone parts bad in the agitator it's self. These parts are called dogs and they make the agitator rachet so that the top half only goes one direction. Does this sound like what you are experiencing? If so, let me know and I can assist you further.

Thanks

Occasionally clothes are catching on the agitator where the corkscrew is attached to the base. When I washed sheer curtains last week some of them caught and snagged. They are ruined. I can't feel...
without a make and model it is hard to say but I would say there must be a small protrution or maybe a cut in the aggitator that is catching them feel around again slow and carefully if you still can't feel anything give the edges of the agitator a slight sand with some very fine sandpaper hopefully this will fix the problem. Make sure your agitator isn't loose on it's mount maybe they are catching under the agitator.

It eats my clothes
I would remove the agitator, checking to see whether the bolt that holds it to the drive shaft is securely tightened. If it is tight I would then check the agitator for a serial number, usually molded directly into the plastic agitator on the inside bottom. Use the internet to determine if the part is the correct agitator for your specific model of machine. I have seen the wrong agitator installed on machines before and it can do a number on clothes, especially sweaters.
