My Roper Wash Model# RTW4340SQ0 agitator motion is week. It seems to agitate slow as it moves around the tub in the wash cycle. It moves back and forth but only slightly. The top portion of the agitator is working properly. Last August I replaced the following parts: Clutch Part#285785, Drive Block part# 389140, Agitator Repair Kit (dogs) part # 80040.
The Dogs are in good shape. The drive block looks good but I was able to tighten it up some. The clutch hasn't been inspected as of yet, but the machine runs through all the cycle properly spin, drain, etc.
I pulled the agitator and the splines look ok however I can't get my hand inside it to feel the splines. I ran a screw driver over them and they seem rigid. The transmission shaft turns back and forth without the agitator on it. However with the agitator on the shaft and a small cycle load in the washer I was able to place a tool against the agitator while it was running and the agitator stops but I can hear the transmission moving.
My question is the transmission suppose to stop agitating when it gets put in a bind or should it have kept agitating? Could I have a stripped transmission? Or is there something else I need to check?
Thanks, all help is welcomed.
