My GE topload WBXR2060V1WW washing machine is not agitating although it still spins and drains the water out. It sounds like there is water collected beneath the tub too. I can hear the agitator try to work and if you press down on it, it does seem like it tries to turn, as though it's no longer connected or something. Any ideas?
There's a part under the agitator(which lifts off if you pull up from the bottom evenly on two sides) called the "Air Bell Coupler" that attaches to a metal toothed motor shaft with one bolt. More than likely the plastic teeth have stripped off from this coupler, preventing it from sitting tightly on the shaft, thus causing the agitator to not "agitate" properly. You can get this from www.partselect.com.

Same problem. I pulled the agitator, and the agitator alone spins and "locks", but it does look like that coupler has striped and I do not see any way how in it's current condition that it could grab the agitator to turn it. I order the coupler and hopefully that's it. Thanks!
So I replaced the coupler, and it still does not agitate. If I reach in and hold the air bell, and try to spin it counter-clockwise, it will then agitate (using a screw driver to keep the machine running with the lid open...). What's next?
How do you take the agitate off mine is not agitating but spining to drain the water but I need to know how to take it off to check if it is connected or stripped. thanks my machine is wjsr2080v1ww
my washer is doing the same. It doesn't agitate, but it spins and empties in the wash and rinse cycles.
Spidy4u: When you say replace the agitator, do you mean the entire bell at this point? I replaced the coupler and it still does not agitate.
