My old Whirlpool has a two-speed transmission, with a lever and solenoid
that hang out the side. If someone flips the speed switch (normal/gentle)
on the panel while the motor is running, the lever gets bent, leaving it
stuck in either high or low. First time it happened, it was stuck in low
(which reduces both agitate and spin speed), bending the lever back into
shape cured it. Now it's stuck in high, and I just haven't bothered to
upend the machine and bend the lever back again.
