Defective lot of agitators?I can't beleive SQ would "sabotage" their equipment deliborately.And the broken agitator vane edges could certainly tear clothes. | ||

I think the agitator problem might be a symptom. Is your machine spinning while it is agitating? The direction of broken fins suggest that the machine spins clockwise. Keep us posted! | ||

Probably worn or broken brake pads. Amanas are notorious for this. It probably is spinning while agitating. | ||

BROKEN SQ AGIATORS Yes there is differently something wrong with the washer. Agitators are not designed to break in any washer I have ever seen to protect the machine. If a washer is severally overloaded the only thing that is supposed to give is the overload protector on the motor will cycle the machine off. Even the drive cupping on a WP DD washer will not automatically break if you stuff the machine so full that the agitator can't move. | ||

The tub doesn't appear to be spinning during the agitation cycle. And hints on how to check if the brakes need replacing? | ||

in washers the thing that tends to break the most if the washer is overloaded is the washer motor that burns and when this happens the washer do not wash or spin i know happen to me in 1996 with my inglis whirlpool superb 2 washer they replace the motor and it was fix so its very rare that the agitator breaks.
