Broken flex fins on top load agitator washer agitators

This is a problem that is seen occasionally on many different top loaders I have seen turquoise Maytag power fin agitators with a broken fin or two as well.

The best solution is just not to have a top load washer, however, occasionally some of the cheaper front load washers will break a baffle out of the drum as well.

Oh, a hint.....
If washing anything with a zipper, like jeans, jackets, etc., zip them closed before loading them, particularly if the load contains other articles.
Those open zippers can catch on fabrics and cause issues or tears during washing.
Yep, it's happened to me until I learned.
 
I never bother, closing zippers, etc. and have never had a problem with something getting damaged.

I suppose if I used a Maytag washer with a power fan agitator I might as it’s the most aggressive agitator and most likely to cause clothing damage about any washer ever built in the last 40 years or so.

I gave a 1985 extra large capacity Maytag fabric Matic washer to my neighbor and we hardly ever gets used, but we have had so many things destroyed in that washer even the towels that we use there is an unbelievable amount of lint from those every time we wash them and never anything in the filter.

The machine isn’t very good, mechanical shape even the damper still fine. It will get recycled for partswhen he moves into the house full-time and we put in a front load washer.
