Yes, a washing machine agitator can easily be fixed or repaired when its internal wearing components fail. In most dual-action top-load washers, the top section relies on small plastic agitator dogs (cams) that wear down over time, causing the top to spin freely in both directions. To fix this common issue, pop off the top dust cap, unscrew the mounting bolt, pull off the agitator unit, and replace the inexpensive plastic cam kit. Verify success by confirming the top section ratchets correctly by hand.
