Bobbi: I have a Roper Whirlpool Washer model #RTW4440VQ1 Bobbi: I have a question about a problem Bobbi: I put a load of clothes in and in the very beginning wash stage a bed sheet became wrapped around the agitator Bobbi: it began to make a loud noise Bobbi: almost like when the tub gets off balance Bobbi: I stopped the machine removed the clothes and it continued to make the noise once turned back on Bobbi: I spun the water out and it did not make the noise, I filled it back up and tried again and the same noise continued Bobbi: I took the top off the agitator, took the base of the agitator out and turned it on, and no noise Bobbi: I put the bottom of the agitator back in and the noise resumed Bobbi: any ideas? Bobbi: the gear and pinion has been suggested, I am going to tear the machine apart to see if I can see anything damaged but thought I would ask before I started if there was anything in particular I should check first

When I entered my last post I didn't know that my agitator is only twisting one way and causing the clothes to get twisted around the agitator. I originally thought a sheet being twisted around the agitator caused the problem but I now know that the agitator isn't agitating correctly, it is twisting in only one direction and causing everything to get jumbled up.

Hi.
If the lower portion of the agitator turns only in one direction that's bad transmission.
Simon.
