My washer did not agitate. It would spin and the motor sounded like it was agitating.
I pulled the top of the agitator off (the softener dispenser) then pulled the agitator itself off. I had to pull with some force. I used the socket wrench to remove the bolt on top of the agitator coupling. I then pulled off the old agitator coupling, replaced it with the new part. Used the socket wrench to tighten the new bolt. Lined up the slots on the new coupling with the agitator top, it slid on with a little resistance. The last part to replace was the softener dispencer.

Washer would no longer spin---dry rotten belt
Gently turned washer over onto its front. Removed bottom metal panel (3 or 4 screws on each side). Removed old belt. Installed new belt. NOTE: The new belt is a tight and perfect fit, therefore it will not want fit on to both pulleys/ rotating discs. I have found the best method is to start the belt on the disc that drives the belt. Then place as much of the belt over the disc that sits below the washing machine drum as is possible(the spinning part)and then turn the belt by hand and the belt should pop on to the disc. If the belt goes on easily you may have the wrong belt as the belt must be tight to achieve the traction necessary for the washing machine to spin. HOPE THIS HELPS!! A screwdriver may be handy in helping to pry on the belt. Good look.

Agitator paddles broken because I had a big brush in the wash load.
First I removed the softener dispenser then I grabbed the agitator at the bottom and with a tug completely removed it. I took the new part out of the box and lowered it down over the hub in the bottom of the washer and gently pushed it until it snapped in place. Then I re-installed the old fabric softener dispenser and the job was complete.

Cold water was dripper after each washing cycle.

you can hear the motor running,but it sounds different when the agitator's not moving.
at 1st, i call GE for service, but i have to wait for the next available field service engineer which is 7 to 8 days to come to my place to check on the washer. the cost is $99.00(non refundable) and then he will order the parts needed for repair another 2 to 3 days. then i decided to buy the parts myself online,and google the web on "how to fix the washer that stopped agitating" everythings in there,with video instruction. pull the agitator up and out by grabbing on to its base. inside, the knot was corroded and the o ring worn out,but really easy to remove with the 11mm socket. the coupling kit although looks different,fit perfectly. insert says its an upgrade of the old model. toss the old and replace with the new, no sweat! now it's shaking like crazy.

Cold water would drip after laundry was finished
Removed the four torx-head screws on the top of the washer. Pulled the control panel forward. Removed the four screws on the back of the washer and the two screws that held the dual valve on. These six screws required a nut driver. Pulled the small hose off the old valve. Then reversed the procedure. Total time to replace the faulty old part was about ten minutes. With saftey in mind, disconnect the electrical cord and shut the water valves off at the wall.

Our washer stopped agitating
I followed the on-line video with just one exception and I had the old part off in less than 5 minutes. I ordered the part on Saturday afternoon and I had the part in hand by Wednesday morning at around 11:00 am. I spent less time installing the coupling kit than it took to take it apart and had 2 loads of clothes done before going to work on second shift. I would recommend anyone needing help contact Parts Select. They were great and very helpful.

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 !

Wouldn't agitate.
Took the front panel off and it looked like everything was OK with the transmission, etc. Pulled out the agitator and noticed that the coupler had stripped out splines. New coupler was a later design, but was backward compatible with the new bolt included. Spline slipped on with no problem and hold down bolt snugged down just fine. Snapped the agitator back on and was in business.

Washer wasn't agitating
We couldn't get a repair to come out - were told to buy a new because it would cost too much to fix. I did not agree. I pulled the agitator off and discovered it was not working and the agitator coupler was spinning. I ordered both and put them in myself. My washer now worked like new! All for less than $100. The service guy wouldn't eve come out for less than $175 and that did not include parts!
