“I don't notice much of an agitator speed difference between the cycles. It seems like it always agitates at a slow speed even on a heavy cycle. Is this normal or should I call for repairs? It always seemed like it did that from day 1.”

Hi, there. There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt. This use impeller. ^Vanessa
