Mid 80s GE Filter-Flo

[xraytech]

I have been using a mid 80s Filter-Flo with ramped-activator for about 2 1/2 years now.

I have started noticing a few months ago that when agitating it makes a squeaking sound, and over past few weeks almost every load the agitator is lifting off the shaft and hitting the lid, and clothes are tangled up under the agitator.

Any ideas on why and what I can do to fix this?

If the agitators pulling up off the metal spline there's a rubber locking ring that goes below the spline that engages the bottom of it that may be worn out.

If the rubber covered spline isstaying on the shaft in the agitators coming off the rubber you need a new agitator drive coupling.
