The agitator has two parts. One is the bottom agitator and then you have the top agitator that moves the clothes around. If the top part of the agitator is not moving. You probably need to replace the dog ears. A great sight to look this info up is www.repairclinic.com. I have ordered from them before. Good Luck! Karen
To remove the agitator from a Kenmore washer, first unplug the machine and turn off the water supply. Remove the fabric softener dispenser from the top of the agitator, then use a socket wrench to unscrew the bolt securing the agitator in place. Once the bolt is removed, pull the agitator straight up to detach it from the base. If it’s stuck, gently wiggle it while pulling to free it from any debris or buildup.
To remove the agitator from a Kenmore washer, first unplug the machine and turn off the water supply. Then, take off the fabric softener dispenser if applicable, and locate the bolt at the center of the agitator, which may require a socket or wrench to remove. Once the bolt is unscrewed, carefully lift the agitator straight up and out of the tub. If it's stuck, you may need to gently rock it back and forth to loosen it.
Top-loaders have two options for swirling the load: an agitator (central spindle), or an impeller (a small bump at the bottom of the bowl). Impellers spin and pulse to turn the washing over, rather than twisting it. Washing machines with impellers tend to be easier to load and unload, but their dirt removal isn't always as good as agitator models.

Electricity is transformed into mechanical energy to turn the motor, which then moves the agitator or drum to clean the clothes. Some energy is also converted into heat to warm the water during the wash cycle.

just put a bucket under the door of your washing machine! Call a plumber and turn the washing machine off in the mean time.
the agitator on most washers go back and forth . at least one i know of goes up and down. we will talk about the back and forth.Underneath the tub usually accessable from the back of the machineis a transmission and belt along with other things. when you start the washer it will fill with water . When the correct volume of water is reached a switch is activated that sends power to the timer which in turn routes power to the proper connections needed to agitate. now when washing power is sent to a agitator control which lifts a plunger that makes the transmission rock back and forth which is calledagitation
To stop a washing machine from running, you can press the "Pause" or "Stop" button on the machine's control panel. If there is no specific button, you can unplug the machine from the power source or turn off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the machine.
Just simply turn the washer off, then turn it on again.. :)
