Alexander A Austin , TX March 27, 2015 My washing machine agitator barely moved when operating The diagnosis was the longest part of the repair, but I found out that the splines on the inside of the agitator had stripped out, so the matching splines on the drive shaft of the washer were not spinning the agitator as they should.
