KAWE577BWH1 KitchenAid Washer - Instructions

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.

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

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!

DIAGNOSIS 1) Popped off the agitator cap. 2) Used a 1/2" socket extension driver to back out the plastic retention nut 3) removed the agitator and poured all the little plastic pieces into my hand 4) googled up the agitator assembly by model number, led me to Part select website 5) identified the plastic pieces as "dog ears" 6) ordered new dog ears for just under $4 REPAIR 1) waited 3 days and got dog ears in the mail 2) had a beer and opened the mail 3) inserted the dog ears into agitator assembly according to the picture on Part Select web site 4) had another beer 5) installed the agitator back into the washer, tightened the retention nut 5) admired my handiwork with another beer 6) washed a load of clothes DIAGNOSIS TIME - about 15 minutes REPAIR TIME - about 4 minutes plus 10 more to drink the beers

I gave the parts to my wife. Then I took them back and fixed the washer .

The repair went very quick and easy. What made this repair so quick and easy is because of the very prompt and quick shipping of the replacement part from this company. This was my first experience with this company and will always use in the future. I ordered the part one day and the very next day I received the part. Great job to this company!!!!!

FIRST!! I watched partselect's video on repair. It was right on! I removed the dispenser, removed the seal, used a 7/16 socket on an extension to remove the bolt and lifted the agitator out. Removed the old dogs and housing and replaced it with the new ones. Reversed the take down order and done in about 15-20 min. Easiest fix I've ever encountered!

As per the video that was sent. The washer was repaired very easily and with no problems and minimum time spent. Thank you for your fantastic service and information to accomplish the repairs and look forward to doing business with you again in the future. Steve and Lory

I took out the old inlet valve and put the new one in. It was easy

Removed the top part of the electronic panel. Removed the top lid. Removed the old tub springs and replaced them with new ones. Works great and for only $20.00. It beats buying a new washer. Thanks!

used socket wrench with an 8in extension to remove agitayor bolt that was under cap on top part of agitator. was back together in about 15 min.correct parts were shipped in record time.

I searched the web and found your YouTube Repair Video... I said to myself "I can do that". I ordered the kit and it arrived in 2 days !!! I was amazed. From the video I estimated my repair time to be around 20 - 30 minutes. I was done in less than 10 minutes. I Love You! I Mean it!THANKS! Mike*

Removed and took apart agitator and replaced directional cogs.

It was my Mothers washer & did find out the Direct drive Motor Coupling was a little warn & replaced not to hard but took more time to get top off because you have to really get under the top off hood & clips where really in there the vidio showed held on with screws & on this Kenmoore Elite the Clips are under the Hood which does make it alittle bit harder so you have to be careful not to bend up the Hood where all your controls are , But did not solve the issue. Looked at lid switch & it was damaged so now going to Replace it. If this was my machine probably would be a bit easier to have seen it is the Lid switch hopefully this next part will fix the problem.

Unplugged the machine, removed the rear panel and then removed the old water inlet valves. Replaced the water valves with the new one purchased through Parts Select. Installed the back panel on the machine, plugged the machine in and reconnected both the hot and cold water hoses. Tested machine works like a new one again, problem resolved.
