WTW4800XQ2 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

watched the parts select video showing how it was done. from there it was a simple process. popped off the fabric softener cap, and the seal cap. then used the socket wrench to unscrew the bolt. took off the cog holder, and turned upside down. The video was great, because it perfectly explained how to position the Agitator Directional Cogs (dogs)when replacing. the ridge went face down into the slot. Put the holder back in, replaced the bolt, cap, etc. and it as finished. Again, this is an easy fix, and the video perfectly explained the process.

Popped the top of the Agitator off by hand, removed the softener cap protecting the Retaining nut by hand and used a 3/8 in socket driver with an extension and a 7/16 in socket to remove the retaining nut. Pulled top of Agitator off shaft, flipped it over and removed the Dog Ear housing. Removed retaining ring, removed and replaced Dog Ears (Cogs) and reassembled...less than 15 minute fix!

7/16 socket you need 8inch extension to reach one bolt.every thing else donot need tools to get to the bolt eazy

This was an easy repair. I used a 7/16th socket on a 8 inch extension to reach the agitator bolt. After removing the bolt, I pulled off the top half of the agitator, leaving the bottom half intact and attached to the washer. After that it was a simple replacement of the agitator directional clutch dogs and then putting the top half of the agitator back in place and tightening the bolt.

thanks for the part, it worked!

Pulled out fabric dispenser cover over 11mm bolt remove bolt removed agitator and separated replaced dogs replaced unit done

I had already taken the agitator apart to see what the problem might be. that was very simple. When I watched the video you have on your sight, you took it apart the same way I did, so you have it right!

repair went well. video presentation was helpful but our washer was not quite the same as video. we had to print the assembly diagram to visualize the proper order to place the new parts. all in all it was a simple fix.

Pop cap off top of agitator. remove bolt that holds down agitator,which lets you remove the top of agitator that holds the directional cogs. remove top install cogs, make sure they are turned in right direction, and re install top of agitator.

Removed anti-static fluid dispenser from top of agitaator. Using 7/16" socket with long extention and ratchit unscrewed bolt holding agitataor to drive shaft, while prfeventing adgitaor from turning. Lifted off two piece agitator. After some confusion and study, held lower part of agitator and jerked up on top part of agitator. Removed old cam unit. With instruction sheet assembled new cam unit and placed in between two paarts of agitator. Placed agitator on shaft. Holding bottom paart of agitator, installed bolt holding agitaatort on shaft. Was absolutely delighgted with the fast, accurate service in ordering and receiving the cam kit. You haave made me a believer.

as in video

After about 4-5 years, the agitator cogs or "dogs" will wear out and cause the agitator to stop working-Simply pop the cap off of the top of the agitator with your hands by pulling upwards, remove the plastic cap at the bottom of the agitator-there are 2 plastic ears that you pull up on also with your hand, exposing a 1/2 locking nut. Use a socket and extention to unscrew the nut. Grab the bottom of the agitator with both hands and pull sharply upwards removing the entire assembly. Flip the assembly over to expose the four cogs. Replace with new, and reverse the procedure to reinstall the agitator
