GE top load Washer will not agitate

Hi, I have a GE Model WDSR2080D5ww. The washer will spin but it will not agitate. Any ideas on how to find out what's wrong or what the problem could be?

Answer

Hi Sheila,

Replacement parts in General Electric WDSR2080D5WW Washer

Reach into the washer and try to turn the agitator by hand and if you can turn it freely the agitator coupling (sometimes called the air bell) is stripped out. If that isn’t the problem let me know and tell me if it makes any noise when it should be agitating.

Thank you,

Simply pull the agitator up and under it you will see the agitator coupling. It will be a yellowish bell shape coupling.

GE washers don’t have agitator dogs. It has a coupling that very well could be the problem. If you can turn the agitator by hand the coupling is stripped out. The coupling is located under the agitator simply pull the agitator off and you will see a yellow coupling that is your agitator coupling, replace it.
