The belts were not staying tight enough to agitate properly.
Firstly, remove ac power from washer! After removing the front panel of the washer (two philips screws), I loosened and removed the plastic motor cover and removed three hex head screws holding the motor. Have someone help you tilt the washer so you can remove the belts by "rolling" them off of the pullies (pump pully and motor pully). What I did was use a chemical degreaser to clean the motor base metal channel where the nylon sliders reside. After doing that and letting it dry, I removed the two old springs. I ended up reinstalling the old springs because they were not stretched and I installed a new spring (total three) on the right side of the mount. A stiff metal rod with a hook on the end will help you install the springs. Squirt some of the included silicone lubricant on both sides of the motor mount channel and exercise the lube. Reinstall the motor and plastic cover over top of motor. Clean hands and clean belts while you have them out, reinstall belts and front cover and you're finished. My wife said it never ran better!

Agitator action was slow/weak; bleach tube kinked
UNPLUG THE MACHINE FIRST! a) Remove the front panel (use a putty knife to release clips) b) Fashion a small hook-end out of a coat hanger c) Install an additional glide spring (2 + 1 = 3) to get extra retraction of vee-belt around drive pulley as follows. d) Hook end of of the new spring onto rear (back) hole of moving motor mount (observe orientation of existing springs to be sure that you're hooking up spring into hole correctly). e) Lie on your right side, hold the spring in place with your left hand (go around back of the motor with your left hand). f) Have someone hold the flashlight as you take a coat hanger and fish for the front end of the spring under the motor glide. g) With front - end of spring held by coat hanger hook, pull spring towards you and slip spring into front hole of stationary motor mount. h) Lightly spray in and around glide area with Teflon non-stick dry lube (DuPont or Liquid Wrench dri-lube product line). Machine agitates like-new now. Bleach Tube: a) Remove hose clamps at both ends using a screwdriver. b) Remove and discard old tube. c) Slip on the hose clamps and slicker-up the ends of new tube with palmolive liquid detergent and slip onto tub and bleach dispenser. d)Tighten clamps.
