To determine if a washing machine agitator is bad, perform a physical movement test by grabbing the top portion of a dual-action agitator and trying to turn it by hand. If it spins smoothly and freely in both directions with zero resistance or clicking sounds, the internal plastic drive dogs are completely stripped and broken. Additionally, visually inspect the agitator fins for cracks, check for loose wobbling on the drive shaft, and observe whether clothes remain completely stationary while the motor runs.
