Agitator Repair Kit

very easy directions. undid nut with socket pulled top part out. and replaced with new piece i got in kit. took around 15 minutes or so.

first removed the top dispenser[softener]by twisting it up.then pry out the round plastic cover that comes with the oring.after removing the cover
you'll see the 3/8 bolt that holds the agitator cam.removing the 3/8 bolt ,you can easily removed the whole agitator assembly and replaced it with the whole kit.on my washing machine the problem is the agitator cam 4 cogs[refer as dog ears,it is worn out completely.replaced it with the whole kit eventhough the problem is only the 4 cogs.the price of the kit is very cheap,and parts is delivered in short time.reminder,put locktite to the bolts thread before installing it back.easy less than 15 minutes installation.

I popped the top off the agitator assembly which exposed a sealed cap. I pulled the cap off with my fingers which exposed a 7/16 bolt head. Using an extension on my ratchet and 7/16" socket, I loosed the bolt and used a small magnet to pull the bolt out which released the agitator rotator. I assembled the kit as per instructions and inserted it into the agitator. It is important to line up the slots on the sides of the agitator. I replaced the bolt, the seam cap and agitator top. I did not use the replacement o ring as it was larger than the one that existed and would not fit. It took around 15 minutes total.

remove the agitater cap, then the seal. They both just pull up by hand. Then remove the bolt. Take out agitater. Remove old dogs and dog cup. Reverse order to put back together. It is the easiest repair you can do to a washer.

The "Agitator Repair Kit" worked perfect; it is like a brand new machine again. There was only one bolt to remove and the entire agitator assembly came out. Once removed, I separated the top corkscrew portion from the bottom agitator. The old dog-ear ratchet pieces were worn smooth and were not gripping the inner teeth on the upper portion of the aggitator so I simply replaced all the parts with the new ones from your kit and reassembled. In under 15 minutes, my machine was working like new!!! I cannot even imaging how much a repairman would have rocked me for the same repair.

The repair was easy in large part to the very clear directions furnished with the agitator repair kit. Pop the cap on the agitator by slipping a small screw driver in the small slot at its base. You then reach in and pull out an inner seal--it has little handles to grab...the toughest part is that it is a tight fit for larger hands inside the agitator tube. I thought about getting the wife to do it, but I finally got it. This exposes the connecting nut. You will need a socket wrench with about 8-10 inch extension to reach the nut that secures the augur (upper agitator) to the lower agitator. Then just follow the directions to replace the dogs, thrust washer, and sealing washers. Reassemble and use plenty of soap to lube the large inner seal, and be sure it seats firmly and squarely in the agitator tube. Easy job and runs like new.

This repair was really simple. The top of my washer's agitator was free spinning, the dog ears failed to grab. All you need to do is pop off the center cap and the cap in the midle of the agitator. Remove the nut with a socket wrench and an extension. Lift the whole agitator out of the machine and replace the worn parts. Put all back in reverse order and that's it! Instructions were included with the kit. Machine works like new.

A HUGE THANKS TO PARTSELECT FOR THE SUPERFAST SHIPPING. I ordered the parts one morning and received them the following afternoon ! That's Service !

The agitator was already apart. I had to see what was causing the problem before I ordered the parts.
I must say the parts came in record time!! A big help!
I just replaced all of the washers, clips and caps, put the bottom part of the agitator and the top part of the agitator together and placed them in the washer- Put the new washer on the screw-put the agitator in the washer, screwed it down with the wrench-placed the new ring on the agitator cap-snapped it in place-then snapped the very top-fabric softener dispenser into place and was ready to do tons more laundry.
Thank you,

I ordered the repair kit for my model, which came with everything I needed except some grease. I pried off the top cap, pulled the inside cover out, used a socket on an extension to remove the bolt that holds it all together and removed the entire agitator assembly from the tub.

I whacked the top half of the agitator with the socket wrench to drive it upward and separate it from the large bottom half. Pieces fell out, as expected. I spent a long time cleaning the inside of the agitator (it was nasty) and then reassembled everything according to the instructions. The instructions said to remove two tabs on the lower part of the agitator. I was nervous about it, but did it anyway and it seemd to have no adverse affect. I got some lithium grease out of my grease gun and lubricated the plastic thrust washer as the instructions said. The kit didn't include the proper grease, which irritated me, but hopefully regular lithium grease will work okay.

Reassembly was easy once everything was aligned properly.

The part that came off did not have a retainer for the 4 ratchet dogs, but the repair kit did. This is crucial for reassembly.

I wouldn't hesitate to do this job again. Instructions were pretty good, for a change.

Pop off the top cap, use 12" socket to remove 10mm screw. The whole agitator assembly will remove from here. Crack open the top agitator from the bottom, here you will see the replacement kit accessories. Simply replace with those installed with the new kit and you're done. I appreciate the replacement kit had a retainer guard the original didn't. This will give my Whirlpool washer another couple of years of service.

Thanks Parts Select!

I took out the dispenser, unscrewed the bolt, pulled the top agitator off, replaced the dogs and related parts and put it back together in less than 15 min. and now I am a hero.

Four little dogs with teeth needed replacement. A section of the agitator was inverted to secure the dogs while they were installed. Some amount of care needed to secure the dogs before reinstalling the agitator section. I have replaced the dogs once before. The teeth become worn with use and the agitator doesn't rotate efficiently.
The bottom portion of the agitator oscillates and the top portion rotates, churning the clothes with a auger.

Took out the fabric softner bin, then removed the plastic gasket by pulling it out, next I removed the nut that held on the upper agitator. Took it out. Removed the old agitator assembly and replaced with the new one. Super easy.

Removed fabric softener dispenser and one bolt. Entire agitator came out with a simple tug and I found one of the pieces were broken and causing others to not catch about every third attempt at moving. I removed all the old parts, including the gaskets and replaced everything. Put the agitator back in place and replaced the bolt...This almost requires small hands due to the placement down inside the agitator or one would need a socket with an extension. Washer is once again working like new!

First I removed the cap, the inner plastic seal, then the bolt. I took the top agitator off, removed old dogs and cam, relaced and re-installed. Done in less than 15 mins. Worked great. I did look at the other repair stories and did just like they did.
