agitator was not agitating
The agitator is the tough thing to remove, I took a previous posters advice and used a rope and 2 boards to pull it up. I will describe it as many short ropes but it can be done without cutting the rope if you think a lot about it. loop the a rope under the agitator so its under 1/2, loop another rope under the other side. tie both loops so you can slide a board in each across the top of the washer. Then tie the 2 loops together on 2 sides down near the bottom of the agitator otherwise they will come out from under it when you pull. then slide the boards in the loops and lift up pulling up the agitator.That is the hard part. Remove the bolt on the coupling, and pull it off. The new one had to be lightly hammered on with a rubber mallet, then use the new bolt. the Agitator slide down and with a push down it popped on. Putting the new part on only took 15 min, removing the broken one took about 45 min. Washer is woking great now ! Saved over $100 or buying a new washer !

Washer was very noisey during agitate cycle.
Pulled agitator by hand, (very easy), removed bolt holding coupling to shaft, removed coupling and installed new one. Tightened bolt snugly and pushed agitator bank over coupling! About 5 minutes to repair!!!!!!!!!

The agitator was not moving
First I had no idea what to do. My first thought was to buy a new washing machine and so I began searching and found that a washer equal to mine was over $600. I brewed on this for a few days when a neighbor told me that they are not that hard to work on and we should take it apart and look at it first. We took the top and the front of the washer off and looked at the belt and the motor. All seemed fine. (we just used a screwdriver for that) then we took the agitator off, it pulled right off with some heavy tugging. then we saw the coupling. It was only held on by one screw. We used a socket to take the screw out and pulled the coupling off. It is supposed to fit very tightly on a shaft with gears. When we pulled it off and looked inside it, all the plastic gears in the coupling were stripped and that is why the agitator would not move. I expected this to cost me at least $50, but to my surprise the part was only $6.50. The shipping cost more than the part. When it arrived in about 3 days. I literally had the part on and the washer back together in less than 5 minutes. The entire repair cost me $14 and now the washing machine works better than it has worked in years. Who knew. If you intimidated by working on washers, don't be, they really are very simple machines and so not worth calling a repair man for.

Washer was overflowing both wash/rinse cycles
Ok it was easier than typing this email. Remove selector knob. Use star*screwdriver to remove 4 screws at top. Pull the panel out toward you, lay down.Pry the lock tab up slightly with knife/flathead to clear the groove twist switch half turn counterclockwise and remove. Pull the vacuum hose off. Remove 2 wires. Now do it again in exact same order only in reverse. Youre done. Saved aprox. $280.00 and was a hero for the rest of the day.

Washer was not running
Found out the screw was stripped from the agitator, probably because the washer is over 10 yrs old. We got the right part! The parts store was very fast in shipping, in fact we got it the next day! Highly recommend PartSelect!!!!!!!!!!

Agitator not moving
Removed fabric softener cover by pulling up. Then removed agitator by grabbing at the bottom and pulling up. Note I did read online that some may have a bolt holding the agitator down thats what it seemed like when I read it. Mine did not have a bolt. after removing the agitator there is a 10 or an 11mm bolt holding it down remove that and the coupler comes right out then install in reverse order. All done. Also its a ge adora washer.
