My washing machine won't agitate

My maytag won't agitate with a load of clothes in, but does when its empty, I have checked the belt, and that seems fine, as well as the center pulley that turns freely in both directions - does anyone have any suggestions what else I could check, and better yet how I could fix it?

change the belt anyway have to use exact belt by maytag replacements will not work.belt is design for that applaction.

is it a 2 peice agitator. if so is the bottom moving with cloths but not the top. if the top is not moving but the bottom is then the dogs are wore out. get a rebuild kit there like $20 i think with S&H.

mine has the same problem how ever the bottom half is the most important.so why bother i only payed 25.00 for it the only thing wrong was the belt.when it quits through away.

that maybe what you do but when your washer is not a trash find then fix it. i replaced the entire agitator in mine as one of the bottom feet was broken and the top didn't agitate. paid $70 for it then 1 week later the gearcase went. then i tossed it. both parts of the agitator are important. the top part helps turnover the cloths so they all get washed.

been their done that.i learned a long time ago
to set a limit what i was going to pay to fix if goes beyond that scrap is in order.limit is 25.00 dollars

with washers and dryers costing over a couple hundred dollars brand new. i do what i can afford at the time in breaks. and thats order parts to fix it. for the dryer i have replaced the rear drum seal the thermal fuse twice the timer and the start button.
