Top agitator would not agitate
I would never have attempted this project if it were not for the how to video that was linked to your site. Thank you very much. Once I watched the instructions I said I can do that and I did. It was an easy repair. The one glich I had was, I could only use the little ear things that came in the kit. I found that the other parts were just a little smaller and did not work correctly. So I pulled it apart and put the old parts back with the new tabs and it is working just fine!!! Thank you again, Shirley

spin cycle did not engage
researched potential causes, found clutch dust under the washer and determined that it wouldn't engage because clutch was too worn. ordered the assembly,It was very easy to install. I also noticed oil residue on the side of the washer so after more research I found out I needed to replace the transmission also. The seal on top of the unit was worn out. I ordered a new transmission and install it and now it works like new. It's very rewarding to fix your own washer. Now all my friends are fixing their own washer and dryers. Thank You!!!

top agitator quit agitating
Well,the repair was actually easy once I read all instructions. My son and I did the repair. After we got the agitator apart my son took his feet(after I told him thats how you get it apart)to separate the bottom agitator from the top agitator. Everything went everywhere. Thank god for Part-Select and their wonderful pictures. We put everything back together and it is working like a brand new machine. THANK-YOU. If we would of read first it would of only took 15 minutes to install. S Brazil

top agitator stopped working
followed the instructions I found online, I ended up only using the "dogs" and the softener gasket as the the other parts did not fit my washer but very glad I bought the complete kit anyway.

Agitator was not working properly, would barely spin.
The whole process took about 20 minutes. I popped the cover off the top of the Agitator and unloosened the nut holding the agitator onto the shaft. I then replaced the cogs, which just slipped into place. Finally I replaced the agitator back onto the shaft and tightened the nut and replaced the cap.

Upper agitator of dual action agitator was not agitating.
Looked up problem on Internet and then came to PartSelect.com to verify, watched the video for this repair and order agitator kit. Received the kit in 3 days and made the repair in less than 15 min. The wife thinks I'm a pro now, not sure if this is good or bad. The repairman in MN.

Whirlpool washer pumps but drum would not spin
We have a 6 year old top loading Whirlpool washer. The drum would not spin at the end of its wash cycle when it is supposed to spin dry. I followed the video exactly and it worked great. I replaced the clutch and rubber coupling. It is not difficult if go slow and methodical and you follow the excellent video My wife washes heavy rugs often and it wore out the clutch. The washer works better than it has in a long time.

Agitator not working.
Followed simple directions that came with part, step by step. Must note: Read comments on your site of others that purchased parts, and it was beneficial. One of them suggested purchasing the agitator grease (also called plumbers grease), called for on instruction sheet. This was not mentioned when the part order was made. But--ordering was simple, delivery was suprisingly quick, and we are very satisfied. I recommend PARTS SELECT!!

Pump sprung a leak
used the pliers to remove the hoses, Then used the screw driver to remove the metal retainers.It only took two days to get the parts delivered. even with 5 to 7 day delivery.so don't pay for next day delivery if you don't have to. When I got the part in it only took a couple of minutes. Use the pliers to install the hoses, then you can just use your hands to put the retainers in place.
