KAWS750LQ4 KitchenAid Washer - Instructions

The repair was surprisingly simple. We followed the video and it was a simple fix :)

Popped off the fabric softener dispenser with a medium flat tip screwdriver. Removed the agitator screw with a 7/16 socket. Pulled out the agitator assembly. Pulled out the agitator cam assembly. Removed the 4 worn directional cogs/replaced with new ones. Reassembled in reverse order.

This is a very user friendly website for finding your part. They also have step by step video instructions for your repair. It's like watching Dad, except you can pause him & do it yourself! Check out their video for HowTo. I repaired a 19 year old Whirlpool washer in less than 15 minutes saving us big $$ over a new appliance!

Removed the agitator with a straight blade screw driver and then removed by hand the inner cap. Used a 7/16 socket with a long extension and ratchet and removed the agitator bolt. Once the bolt was removed I pulled agitator cam the contains the agitator dogs out of the Mover, Agitator. I replaced the worn agitator dogs with new ones and replaced everything and it worked fine. I did mark with a red Sharpie the direction the dogs were before removing them so I would replace them in the right direction. Very simple job that took less than 15 mins.

Repair is simple. It takes about 15 minutes to repiair the agitator. Just follow the directions tha come with the replacement part. Don't forget to buy the grease for the part because it does not come with it. The only tool you will need is a rachet, long extention, and a 7/16th socket. The hardest part is getting the cap off that covers the bolt that holds the agitator on. Make sure you do not over tighten the bolt when you reassemble the agitator because you will strip the ancor nut inside the lower part of the agitator.

Pulled the machine away from the wall about 18 inches. Tip the washer back until resting stably against the wall. Used plies to remove two spring hose clamps. Use the screw driver to remove spring clips. Pulled old pump off and placed new pump on. Replace spring clips and hoses with clamps, and lowered the washer. Done!

the video pretty much told the whole story except I forgot to put the plastic collar piece on the new clutch when I put it back together so I got to do it twice. second time went even easier. Thanks for the video,it was great.

Very old washing machine began to make a horrible noise and agitator would attempt to agitate during spin cycle. Eventually determined that the problem was in the transmission. The way the transmission works is that when the motor runs in one direction a metal fork pushes on a cam mechanism and lifts a spring loaded gear on the agitator shaft from the gears that make it move, putting it in neutral so that it can spin freely with the basket in the spin cycle. When the motor runs the other way the same fork pulls on the cam and drops the gear down so that it engages with the agitator mechanism. The problem was that the plastic cam pieces on the base of the shaft had worn down to the point where they where not fully lifting the gear clear and it was partially engaging with the drive mechanism. Repair was relatively straight forward except the YouTube video that I was using showed the parts on upside down. All the other transmission parts are labeled with TOP on one side but oddly the cam pieces are not marked. For reference the U shaped protrusion on the cam parts goes on the top of the assembly, not the bottom. All in all it took me about 12 hours to do this fix, but at least 10 of that was simply trying to figure out how the mechanism worked and tracking down the problem. Be sure to refill the transmission case and use some RTV sealant to seal the cover back on when you are done, just like you would for an oil pan on an engine.

I followed your printed direction and watched the repair video. I was dreading this repair, however my wife pleaded (Ha-Ha!) with me to get on it. I was so glad to find your site using a google search, simply by typing in my machine model number. By the way, unless you are standing at the washing machine watching the wash cycle, you may never notice the upper section of the agitator not rotating. The dead give away that something was wrong, was when my wife and I noticed as the wash and spin cycle was finished, the clothes were in a tangled mess and some damage noticed to the clothes. Now I realize that the upper agitator play's an important roll in circulating the clothes in the load which prevents them from gathering at the bottom getting beat to death. Now, after the repair, all is normal and my wife thinks I am her HERO! By the way. the speed in which I received my parts, led me believe you shipped them on a private charter jet...WOW Door to Door to Alaska in three days standard shipping. Thanks for you great service and quality parts. Lou H.

Well i'm an auto technician by trade so I just jumped right in without reading or watching anything, but I saw the video and in the days waiting for the part to show up I watched it. I would recommend everyone to watch the video because it is simpler than I made it.Easy repair any mechanical skills at all and you shouldnt ave any trouble.

I have never fixed a washer, but this website made it very easy. I watched the video so there were no surprises. I unpluged the machine and disconnected the water lines and removed the two back screws. The control panel and shell came of very easy, i then tipped the washer on to its backand removed the clamps holding the motor. The motor came out very easy and the coupler was a cinch to put in. After that I reversed the process and then the wife was happy she got her washer back, Iwas happy too because I didnt have to buy a new one.

The installation of the new parts was easy to put in. No problem after I figured out how to do it. The parts came really fast and we were very happy with the service.

Found input to gearcase deformed, so new coupler slipped under load. Replaced gearbox. All function restored, but machine banged harshly during spin. Discovered that "skid plate" had shifted during gearbox replacement. Remounted skid plate carefully with pry bar, correcting vibration.

replaced water pump

I pulled up PartSelect, compared their advice with my problem, ordered a direct drive motor coupling for my particular model, received the delivery, and called a friend who's good at home repairs and who happens to be dating my sister. He was delighted to comply with our request (her clothes get laundered here) and he had no problem with either the repair itself or the part we ordered. Replaced the hoses, too. He said the new part had been improved over the old one, but everything fit together just like it should. Then I washed her work jeans. Success! I know this isn't what you're asking, but I was so pleased to have the correct part ready to go so he didn't have to mess around. It wouldn't have taken the afternoon, but I had to clean everything that had accumulated debris in 10 years of use as he went.
