Top agitator wouldnt turn with lower; freely spun by hand
Super easy repair. Pulled out fabric softener dispenser, looked in and saw teeth were worn off cogs. Looked part up on Partselect based on washer model number, ordered whole kit (just in case I found other parts worn after I took it apart). With shipping it was cheaper than just the part through the store we originally bought the washer from! Ordered kit and 3 days later I had parts in hand! Installation instructions that were packed with the kit werent as clear as ones on website but were still easy to understand. Very pleased with Partselect, and will use them again for future repair jobs!

Broken motor coupling
I unhooked the two motor brackets, dropped the motor down out of the way, separated the coupling into three parts and slid them in place one at a time. I had to tap them a little with the hammer to get them on the shaft. I put the motor back in place and was done. It worked great and took about 20 minutes.

The top half of the agitator was not functioning properly
Well pop off the plastic cap, remove the nut that holds the agitator on and lify off the unit. Replace the cogs and return the machine to service. I was afraid to even look at this, what an easy repair. The parts were ordered and they arrived at my house the next day, no special delivery or extra postage paid, just prompt service from these folks, they ROCK!

The washer no longer spun during the rinse cycle
Many kudos to the folks who posted here. The instructions with the part didn't help much, but your comments did. I found it quite easy to replace the retaining clips using a pair of pliers at their wide setting to press the clip back into place. Oh, and when you tip the washer over, have a can of bug spray handy, you might be upsetting a black widow or two.

Top part of agitator not turning or spinning
Repair is fairly easy.I got an email confirmation from Parts Select on the order I purchased .This included a link to the 'youtube" video repair instruction which I viewed. Note: a 10" extension extension socket adapter is a must to get to the 7/16" nut holding the agitator pieces.

Bits of plastic from eroded dip tube in hot water heater were clogging the water inlet valve
The most difficult part was getting the back off the washer. The rest was pretty straight forward. My husband did the work in about 45 min. The part was around $20 so I guess we saved at least $200. I thought I ordered the wrong part and called to cancel but the customer service rep double checked and assured me it was the correct item. I received the part within 2 days. I was going to buy a new washer since this one is 20 years old but the plumber said it was a good one, better than the new ones out there. Great service, great selection, great price.

Machine Would Not Spin & Remove All Water
Followed instruction found on line, they were very helpful and very well done by tech. I have a back ground in appliance repair mostly ge. I find the design of whirlpool washing machine was very well done, the repair of all major parts was easy and simple. Best designed washer I have ever worked on. Delivery of my needed parts was fast. I put parts in the machine it really didn't need, felt I could get another 10 years out of the appliance. Very vert satisfied, thank you
