Agitator no longer worked

My washer is pretty old but still in overall good condition. I just happen to open the top to add softener and noticed the agitator wasn't turning. Found the problem and ordered the repair kit. I had taken the agitator apart (One bolt under two snap off caps.) so when the kit arrived, quickly I might add, I only had to assemble the replacement kit, bolt the agitator back down and re-install both caps. 15 minutes from start of repair to putting in a load of wash.

When the machine was filling with water about 30% of it would miss the tub and run down the back of the machine and on to the floor.

After removing the front, sides and top of the machine (all one piece) the springs were relativley easy to access. I discover one of the brakets that held one of the springs had rusted and would no longer support the spring. I then replaced the bracket and springs. I Re-assyembled the machine and it work as good as new.

Parts Used:

Bracket, Spring Outer (L.F.)

Suspension Spring

Cold water continues to fill tub when off

I have had this similar problem with other makes/models of washers so I knew immediately what the problem was. The hardest part was figuring out how the back panel seperated from the front. I wanted the part in-hand before looking on-line. Once I had the Inlet/Mixing valve in-hand and found this website, the ordering was quick and inexpensive. I only wish I would have been able to view the video beforehand to see how the back panel came loose. I would've cut my repair time in half.

No Agitation

Have replaced the rubber "dogs" in the agitator before. Washer had an extended service contract that expired in 1986. It just won't die.

Auger not spinning

Agitator Repair Kit (PS334650) has EVERYTHING you need for the repair . No extra parts needed. I paid a guy to come out the first one and they charged $70! So, this time, I bought the $21.92 kit, economy shipping, and it arrived the very next day. Wahoo! Took a couple of minutes and had a load running in 10 minutes. What a savings, what a great resource. Thanks PartSelect.com You're bookmarked forever.

Valve was cracked and water was leaking.

The old one was easy to take off once I figured out how to get the back of the washer off. Then, the new one was on in just a few minutes and the washer is washing fine.

Agitator spun free both directions

I was expecting to spend $100 or more if not having to go buy a new washer. I found your site and I was like "wow" then I found the Video of the intsual. It could not be any more simple. Entire job took 5 min. And under $4 for parts. All I can say is outstanding and thank you

Washer took much too long to fill with cold water.

Unplugged the machine and turned off the water, (hot and cold), removed hoses from valve. Removed two screws holding console to top. Removed screws in rear holding rear panel to cabinet. Pulled cabinet out of the way. Disconnected electrical leads from valve solenoids. Used nut driver to remove screws removed valve and mounting plate from the back of machine. Pliers compressed snap ring holding fill tube to valve. I reversed the procedure to reassemble. Most difficult part was getting the cabinet back in it's place. Washer fills like it is brand new!
