YWSR2100T3WW General Electric Washer - Instructions

Took out the old part and easily replaced it with the new part.

pulled out the center agitator, undid the nut , put the new one on , easiest repair ever, less that 13 dollars. and the part came in 2 days, wow, I am impressed with your company!!!!!

quickly.

I noticed the agitator would spin all the way around, in each direction. Also, the machine would make no sound, associated with washing, during that part of the cycle. I pulled the fabric softener reservoir off, with fingers on each side of the agitator, i pulled straight up and that gives you access to the coupling. Use a 7/16'" socket to loosen the nut, remove it and pull the coupling off. Press the new coupling on the splined shaft, tighten nut, and line up agitator with the grooves, push it down and replace fabric reservoir. Straightforward repair.

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.

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

There are many on-line videos to help you do this. It's so easy, even a beginner handyperson can do it. For this model, just run a strap under the agitator to assist you in lifting it up off the coupler (good tug). Remove the old worn coupler, put the new one on, set the agitator back on by giving it a little downward push.

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.

Belt had worn and was shredding and melting due to pump not draining tub. Too bad my wife and daughters couldn't tell me the pump wasn't working right any sooner. The belts slow disintigration over time made a black, gooey mess inside the machine. Worked on the machine in place and only removed front. Old belt removal was easy with screwdriver prying around motor pulley but replacement was challenging in the tight space under the machine. It did go on by working-rotating belt around back of agitator pulley. By far the hardest part of the job. Replacing pump was easy enough but made a water mess and had to adjust clamps for leaks. Machine is now good to go.

As directed by the book.

Pulled off agitator with little effort. One 7/16 bolt to remove and the coupler came right off. Pushed on new coupler, replaced with new provided bolt, pushed agitator back on and was back in business!! Very simple inexpensive repair. Thanks Partsselect for your quick parts turnaround!

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 ;-)
