OK, this is a dual action agitator. My Whirlpool, the bottom oscillates both directions while the top auger has a ratcheting mechanism which slips one way and grabs the other way, pulling it one direction only to circulate the laundry from top to bottom.

This is a view of the agitator out of the machine.

Tragically those are obsolete. They would make them today if I had my way though. | ||

It's not the height, it's not the size, it's how high the suds rise. (ducks and runs) | ||

Rollermatic I've seen lots of talk of it, can someone explain it? Is this the one that bobs up and down rapidly to move the clothes upside-down and around without having to beat them with the agitator paddles? | ||

Modifier Maytag Agitator The agitator on my 95/96 Maytag was modified to reduce the shredding effect and an home-made lint filter was added.

There are two ways of cleaning laundry: moving the water through the clothes, or mechanical action against the clothes. Of the two moving water through laundry is supposed to be more gentle and effective. The vintage Frigidaires, Philco's "water wave" and front loaders all to some extent rely on moving water through the laundry. Oh yes, impeller machines like the Hoover and Maytag twin tubs, and today's Oasis machines also rely on moving items through water. L. | ||
