AGITATOR DOESN'T WORK WELL

I have a Whirlpool ultima Care II top loader and the agitator does not turn forcefully as it should. It kinda moves a bit and jerks a bit but not like normal. If during the wash cycle I hold my hand on the top where you put the fab softner and apply pressure/push downlike on it..and kinda push it forward a bit...during the cycle it spins much better??? have tried nothing else. Can you help? thanks Ms. Lee

I have a Whirlpool Ultra Care II. Serial No. CK2481971 I need to know how the top agitator works. Should it be moving with the bottom part of the agitator?

Try and turn it by hand . If it turns one way free and not the other way it is ok. If it turns both ways the rachet dogs are probably worn.

Whirlpool top loader washer not agitating

Hi, Do you know if the lower half of the agitator is working? THere is a dog kit that might need replaced in the agitator to get the top half to work. If neither half agitates, there is probably a transmission issue. Start the washer with no laundry in it and see if either sections of the agitator work.
I hope this helps you.
