2DWTW4800YQ0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Easy, If your drive block has an open top, it's worn. Look at a picture of a new drive block and compare. If it doesn't match, then you need a new drive block. Note: Also check the drive clutch and clutch liners or pads...they may be worn. In my case it was the drive block this time. So to start, take off the fabric softenner dispenser in the center of the washer. Then pull out the seal. then remove the bolt. and pull off the agitator assembly. after that tap off the lock nut with a punch and hammer or if you have the special spanner wrench tool, use that. Once removed, pull out the inner tub and then pull the drive block off the shaft. Put the new drive block on and reverse the procedure from there. Tap the lock nut tight with the punch and hammer while re-installing. I'm so glad I did this repair. $15 is so much better than just giving in and buying a new washer!!!

Removed softener dispenser by lifting it up and out. Removed the cap barrier seal by turning and lifting it out. Used a socket with extension to remove the bolt holding the agitator to the main shaft, and removed the agitator by lifting it up and out. Took the top part off by standing on the bottom of the agitator and lifting up. Replaced the old thrust spacer with a new one. Removed the old, worn cam and dogs, installed the new cam/dogs, placed back inside the agitator and secured the main center bolt. Installed a new agitator cap barrier & seal, put the softener dispenser back in place, and it now works as new. Took about 15 min.

Fairly simple just had to take off agitator top. Unscrew a plastic bolt using a 1/2 socket extension. Pull that part or which had a spring under it take out agitator hold which your old ones probably have broken off from take them replace with new ones and put every thing back reverse order. .

It's pretty easy all I had the news just pop off the, frabric softner container, but the small plastic cap could not be pulled out by hand or neddle nose plyers. I used a hex key to hook under the plastic loops and gripped the other end with vice gripps. After the plastic cap came off I used a socket wrench to remove the one bolt and this only came out very easy. Then remove the small cylinder and had a directional COGS and it was easy to replace and reassemble

Took the softener mechanism off by pulling upward. Pried off the cap to the agitator with a screw driver then removed the center bolt with a nut driver. This did take a little effort since it had never been removed. Pulled the agitator out of the washer and cleaned all the parts of any soap residue accumulated over the years. Took the agitator and stood it on the floor placing both feet on the sides and pulled it apart. there is a ring inside that popped out along with the top part of the agitator and the small cogs fell out. Cleaned the two pieces and replaced the cogs, holding the main part upside down lowered the agitator bottom into place matching the four grooves after snapping the unit together slide the cog cover into place and gently replaced the agitator back into the washer and replaced the bolt tightly. Then snapped the softener attachment back into place. This required a good bit of pressure but snapped right into place. Done job. Saved a lot of money and a simple fix to a problem. Agitator now works just as it should, no slippage at all. Took about 30 min all together. You can go online to find installation directions for any brand washer that has a full size agitator.

Thurs. followed video directions, found the dogs to be defective and around 2 pm ordered dogs on line. To my surprise, on Friday around 11 am the dogs arrived. My husband installed them and the agitator is fine. I was so amazed at how quickly the dogs came. The machine was ready to go in less than a day. Thank you for your efficiency.

Removed the agitator with a straight blade screw driver and then removed by hand the inner cap. Used a 7/16 socket with a long extension and ratchet and removed the agitator bolt. Once the bolt was removed I pulled agitator cam the contains the agitator dogs out of the Mover, Agitator. I replaced the worn agitator dogs with new ones and replaced everything and it worked fine. I did mark with a red Sharpie the direction the dogs were before removing them so I would replace them in the right direction. Very simple job that took less than 15 mins.

Parts came in fast...awesome! removed softener dispenser, removed bolt attaching upper aggitator to lower section, cleaned parts, installed new parts, reinstalled cog assembly using mechanical pinchers, installed bolt, installed softenermdispenser...viola. Illustrated parts breakdown was great.

NOTE ! When looking up part and action to take be advised there are two models of agitators. One [the first you look up ] shows you how to repair the agitator . Mine was not this style . As I watched the video mine did not come a part , and when I tried to remove top part clearly it was not the same. Further review of parts I found a complete non serviceable agitator . As I watched the video this confirmed my style of part. As for the repair, once I found out I had to order a complete unit it was simple. Remove the top cup to expose cover, then use needle nose pliers to remove the cover to gain access to the bolt . The cover has an "O" ring to seal liquid from the bolt , save and clean it up and put a little lube on it to reseal same. I can't remember the size , either a 1/2 or 9/16 socket with a 12 in. extension and ratchet will work to remove the bolt. Put a small amount of lube on the shaft , install the agitator ,secure nut , install cover and cup and you are good to go. Hope this helped out and be sure to view the the proper video.

Pulled off the fabric softner holder, pulled out the cover for the agitator. Used a socket set to loosen the screw that holds in the agitator hub, pulled out the hub, removed the gasket from the cogs and replaced new cogs. Works like new!!!!

just like video except to keep cogs in place I inverted upper agitator with all parts and bolt inserted held in place with socket and extension.

I just followed the steps on the video, I was surprised how fast I got the parts within 24 Hrs . Thanks

I followed the video which was very clear and concise. The actual repair took approximately 20 minutes and went very smoothly. It now functions as designed.

I googled the symptom and watched a video on youtube. From there, I jotted down my machine's model and serial number, and googled 'washing machine parts.' I found your web page to be user-friendly, ordered the agitator cog kit and 3 days later had the parts. It was simple to reassemble. Works like a champ!! I'm a 55 year old single woman.

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.
