On ours, the "fan" (disk with vertical blades) at the bottom turns
with the agitator one way and spins freely the other way.
Also, the agitator turns further in the direction where it
pulls clothes down, such that overall, it turns in that
direction infinitely rather than back-and-forth around one
stationary position.
