How do you fix the agitator on a Kitchen Aid washing machine so that will not draw clothes downward?

The year and model # of washer would have been helpful !- Without knowing that, first check the belt at bottom, it may be slack or broken. If no belt check the 'flip-flop' solenoid unit (This is two solenoids mounted on a movable frame)

∙ 17y agoMost washing machines will first wash the clothes/rinse (as you know) and then when drying they should stick to the side of the washing machine. If I do delicate things such as lingerie or sweaters I put them in a pillow case with an elastic band on them and they won't stretch or get too many wrinkles. Also if your machine has different settings for washing then put it on medium to low and that may solve the problem. Other than that, it appears your agitator is doing the job well. Most of my clothes are on the sides to bottom of my washing machine when the cycles have finished.
