Fixing a broken or stripped washing machine agitator involves repairing or replacing the internal components responsible for mechanical engagement. For dual-action agitators that spin freely in one direction, the issue is usually worn-out plastic agitator dogs; you can fix this by removing the top cap, pulling out the old plastic teeth, and snapping a new repair kit into place for under fifteen dollars. If the entire agitator base is stripped or cracked, you must unscrew the internal mounting bolt and replace the complete agitator assembly unit. You can troubleshoot parts easily using basic hand tools. You can verify that your repair is successful when reassembling the unit and running a wash cycle restores active scrubbing motion to your laundry.
