It allows almost everything I own, sometimes several at a time to wind around the agitator, underneath one or more fins and knot together. Tonight I had to sacrifice a sock in order to free up enough space to get a pair of tights and a shirt out from under the fins. You should find employment elsewhere. <\/p>\n<p>I am not alone in this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The agitator on this model has slits on the bottom of each fin(?). Clothes get caught in the slits and tear. Is there a replacement agitator the does not have the slits on the bottom?<\/p>\n<p>Jim for Model Number GE GTWN280D1WW<\/p>\n<p>    <strong>Answer<\/strong> Jim, Unfortunately there is not a different agitator for your unit. You will want to make sure that you are not overloading the unit as this would be the primary cause for this type of issue. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can assure you I am not overloading the washer just as I can assure you that once this tangling takes place there&#8217;s zero chance of a balanced load for spinning. Better luck with other fields of endeavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear stupid HotPoint design people: Your design of agitator fins that quite purposefully are not attached to the bottom of the washer drum and which have a sizeable notch (what, to allow water flow?) is the stupidest thing in the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/?p=11692\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[161],"tags":[314,313,569],"class_list":["post-11692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rants","tag-designfail","tag-hotpoint","tag-rants"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3FVAs-32A","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11692"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11692\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11693,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11692\/revisions\/11693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
