S2100E6WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

The repair was really simple. I pulled off the agitator cap by hand, then put my fingers under the agitator itself. There should be some play in how much the agitator can be lifted up. Some instructions and how-to videos tell you to use a leather belt to remove the agitator but I didn't have a problem removing it with my hands. One quick, hard pull did the trick. Under the agitator, you'll see the agitator coupling, which s held on buy a 7/16" bolt on top. Use a nut driver or a socket to remove the bolt and pull the coupling straight up. Use a wire brush to scrape away all the crud underneath it and on the metal splines. Once the area is reasonably clean, slide the new coupling into place and reattach it with the new bolt that is provided. Line up the grooves in the coupling with the grooves in the agitator and snap it back down into place. Replace the agitator cap and you're all done.

Unplugged washer. Shutoff water supplies. Removed control panel. Disconnected wiring to valve. Removed hoses from old valve. Removed valve mounting screws (x2). Installed new valve and secured with mounting screws. Replaced washers in supply hoses and reconnected hoses. Reconnected control wires. Turned on water supplies. Plugged washer into electric outlet. Tested. EVERYTHING WORKING SO FAR!!!

remove the agitator by just pulling it up, remove the bolt that hold the agitator coupling down and install the new one.

Found that the teeth and the agitator coupler hade stripped out. Replaced the coupling and everything worked great. 10 Min and $10. 00 Fixed it up.

After ordering the part on a Friday afternoon, I was amazed to have it delivered before 2PM the next day. The part was the timer knob and it was a perfect fit. It took less than 15 minutes to replace the faulty knob with the brand new one. Amazing!!!

Pulled front panel off to replace the dampening strap, removed knob clip to release timer knob, removed agitator from inside drum and replaced coupler.

All I did was stick the knob on. How easy was that! Knob works every time. Very pleased with the part.

Took off old agitator, removed coupling that was bad and put new one on.

I ordered both control knob ($6.46) and timer knob ($22.61).I didn't need/use the timer knob, so I returned it. I switched out the control knob by removing plastic pin and replaced w/ new control knob & pin. My 3-yr old grandson sat on the dryer and held the flashlight. I certainly saved mucho by not calling "repair-man"..Total repair was $6.46 + S & H.Now, if we can just keep this baby (family of 6)going til it's time to downsize.

As directed by the book.

watched a video on utube to repair ,and my wife done it while I was at work very easy for her

Installation went okay but still only get cold water fill

Once I watched the video to replace the pump(Thanks so much for that - big help!!), I disabled the machine to replace the pump, to my surprise found a big clump of fuzzy stuff that was blocking the pump, once I removed that and re-assemble the washer, it started working fine!. Unfortunately, I had already bought the the pump and agitator bell thinking they where both bad, so I'm in the process of returning them now, thanks a bunch! btw - what took so long was I had a mess with the water left in the washer, tip - get all the water out first ;-)

This top loading washer was purchased new in 2006. It has had a good bit of use and was a rather inexpensive model, but had been working fine. Suddenly the agitator stopped working. First I pulled off the agitator inside the machine, which in this model came off in one piece. In order to do that I grabbed it at the very bottom by pushing my fingers underneath the base, then rocked it from side to side while pulling up on it until it popped off. This exposed the agitator gear that had gone bad. I unbolted the gear and pulled it off. This removal took a bit of effort, and again, we had to rock it back and forth while pulling up on it until it finally came loose. When the new part arrived a few days later, we slipped it onto the transmission stem, and bolted it into place. Then the agitator was put back on and snapped into place. Works as good as new for less than $14, including shipping!

Viewed the hot/cold valve. I saw that the cold water solinoid was burned. Ordered new valve and replace old valve. On my washer 4 screws held the switch panel, easy to remove and gave me plenty of room to veiw and do the repair.
