It seemed like Frigidaire changed the original design of the agitator. In the original drawings and diagrams for the new agitator, it showed lint being jetted across the water and out of the tub openings; there were even pictures or illustrations showing the water from the 4 openings forming jets across the top of the water, but that seemed to involve there being little projections above the 4 openings. I don't know if they were a hazard or if they were too fragile in the brittle plastic, but their elimination caused the water to be shot up from the openings which caused bad rusting of the inner lid under the gasket, especially in the higher end models where the lid gasket extended to all three sides except for the hinge area, mainly to reduce noise. I used to keep an old Lint Chaser Ring on the agitator above the 4 openings and it jetted the water sideways beautifully in 4 directions while keeping the water out of the vulnerable gasket channel.
