The top assembly of the agitator is slipping off easily, exposing the bolt - there is nothing keeping it anchored to the center hub. I didn't see any pieces of plastic or other parts break off in the load of laundry. How can I reattach the top assembly to the main hub of the agitator? Thanks!

When I set it back down on the agitator, it will catch and rotate appropriately, but it slides up and down on the central post with nothing preventing it from coming off when the machine is working. I just can't figure out how it's supposed to attach and remain in place. Thanks.
