KAWS850LQ0 KitchenAid Washer - Instructions

So easy it's ridiculous, take the old one off, put the new one on! Can't say I love doing laundry, but I love my new washer lid seal! :)

Removed top of agitator(where softener is added, just pulls off), removed agitator cap barrier with needle nose pliers. Unscrewed visible center bolt with nut driver, pulled top part of agitator off(firm pull). With pliers pulled out cog assembly, replaced cogs in assembly. Holding top part of agitator upside down placed cog assembly back into agitator and then placed agitator back into washer so cogs don't fall out. retighten bolt.

Removed the actuator cap which gives you access to the screw that holds the clutch dog assembly in place. Once the screw is removed the assembly lifts right out. The clutch dogs have a small retaining band that holde them in place. Once removed the dogs slip right out. Replace the old dogs and reverse the order of the removal process. Very easy.

pull off softener dispenser, pop off agitator cap by inserting straight screw driver into small slot, remove bolt inside agitator with socket wrench and long extension, pull agitator straight up off shaft, place agitator on floor, with feet holding bottom half pull top half apart from bottom half by pulling straight up, note direction of old cogs remove and replace with new, reassemble

Pretty simple task, and pretty much followed hints in the video provided by the web site. Unit worked fine after replacing the parts. Most awkward part of the job was getting cabinet back into position to secure to the base. A bigger working space or a second pair of hands would have helped in securing cabinet. Only took over two hours (working slow) because cabinet kept sliding out of position while trying to secure.

this repair was really easy to do and did not take long. i used the video on whirlpool.com made it really easey. washer works like new.

Removed the bolt, replaced the "dogs" put bolt back on and good to go.

I used the flat screwdriver to pop off the top of the agitator. then I used my socket wrench with extension to remove the bolt holding the top of the agitator to the bottom agitator. I pulled out the small piece that holds the agitator cogs. The agitator cogs were sheared off. I used my screwdriver to remove what was left of them, cleaned up the unit, then installed the new cogs. Re-insert the piece into the agitator unit and tighten the bolt back. Popped the lid back on top and ran a load of laundry to test. It works perfect! Although the teeth are pretty worn on the agitator as well, so I'm looking to buy a whole new agitator unit next. Very easy fix!!

I order the repaired kit and I use the old part where the dog cam goes due to the new one is loose.

Exactly as described in the sample video on your site.

Half inch ratchet extension unscrew remove replace cogs reinstall retainer ring drop back in . Watch how fast agitator spins.

I viewed the repair video provided and then dove into the project. I am sorry to say that the time suggested for the fix was a bit misleading. Took me less than five minutes rather than the fifteen minutes suggested. Thanks Parts Select for a great assistance in saving me an expensive repair call!

I looked at the video that was available for a general idea. I knew the exchange was fairly simple but it never hurts to watch someone else explain it. Used my socket and extension, some lube as recommended, replaced the pieces, tightened and turned the washer on. Worked like a charm. Thanks

watched a utube vidieo and followed directions in repair kit poped the cap removed screw seperated agitator replaced worn parts reasembeled agitator simple
