I have a GE washing machine that came with my house (unsure as to its age). I noticed recently that the agitator was barely moving. I replaced the agitator coupler with no success (the old one honestly was in pretty good shape). Both the top and bottom are failing to rotate, so the problem isn't the dogs. The belt below the machine seems to be in good shape. The spin cycle works completely fine.
The truly mystifying part to me is the agitator works fine when the machine is empty (filled with water but with no clothes inside). I've applied weight with my hands to the bottom of the tub and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm definitely not overfilling the tub. I was testing will a single small tablecloth.
When the tub has clothes in it and the agitator fails to move, I can rotate it and sometimes it seems to catch for a second before getting stuck again.
Please help! I'm so confused.
