A piece of clothing is stuck under ther bottom section of the agitator. I was able to remove the top section but not the bottom section of the agitator. How do I remove it?
Thanks
For model number WGT4027HW1
Hi Mark, thank you for your question. We have researched and found that the agitator is attached to the basket assembly with the help of a screw and a washer in the fabric softener dispenser, at the top. To remove the agitator from the basket, you will have to remove the cap from the fabric softener dispenser to get access to the screw. Unscrew it and remove it from the top. Now you can just grip the agitator and easily pull it out of the basket assembly. We hope this solves your problem!

My dryer has recently begun to squeak and seems unbalanced. I have noticed my dry clothes have a weird smell to them. Anything will help, thanks
For model number WGT4027HW1
Hello Jeremy, thank you for your inquiry. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest checking the drum support roller, part number PS11752609, to fix the noise problem. Also, clean the lint filter to resolve the smell issue. Glad to be of assistance!
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils. Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts. So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of

First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs. Slip the new cogs into the underside of the cup, and slide the cup back down in the a

(You may want to remove the entire agitator and assemble everything upside down, then flip it all back over to mount, so the cogs don't fall out).

Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.
Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.
The actual repair was quite simple and did
