Washer Not Agitating – Broomfield
If your washer fills with water but the clothes don’t move, the agitator might be failing. This issue keeps clothes from getting properly cleaned. At Tonny’s Appliance Repair, we help customers in Broomfield repair washing machines that aren’t agitating properly-without replacing the entire unit.
Why Your Washer Won’t Agitate
Agitation is the part of the wash cycle where clothes are moved back and forth. If it stops working, dirt stays in your laundry.
Most common causes:
-
Worn agitator dogs or cogs (in top-load models)
-
Broken agitator shaft or coupling
-
Motor not engaging the transmission
-
Faulty transmission or clutch
-
Lid switch not detecting closure
-
Drive belt is loose, broken or off-track
-
Motor control board failure
-
Stuck load or overloaded drum
The washer may still spin or drain—but without agitation, it won’t clean effectively.
