Washing machine-Agitator not working?

Question

Tiny pieces of glass were on a throw rug accidentally washed. Everything works, except agitator. Have I ruined my machine, or can I replace a part?

Answer 1

There is usually a coupling that is between the agitator and the transmission.  It is supposed to have a bunch of teeth on it to act as kind of a strippable safety between the two in case you overstuff the machine.  the agitator comes off with one s***w in the top..pull it up...and it should expose your coupling that is probably stripped out.
