VBXR1090B3CC Hotpoint Washer - Instructions

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 !

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.

1)Remove the 5 screws from the back panel to gain access to the dual inlet valve. 2)Disconnect the wire from the valve. Then, remove the screws the hold the valve. Then, remove the C-clamp from the valve to get it loose. 3) Then, reverse the procedures to install the new valve.

Removed the old part with a screwdriver and replaced with the new parts. As good as new!!

I replaced the water level pressure switch but that did not fix the problem. I tried to replace the pressure tube with some rubber tubing from the hardware store but that did not fix the problem. I replaced the tubing with the correct pressure tubing for PartSelect and now it seems to be working fine. I think the old tubing had a small leak in it I could not detect and the hardware tubing was not exactly the same as the manufacturer part. Anyway it was still a lot cheaper than a new washer. Thanks for the parts and the videos, you made it a do it yourself job. John

Unplug washer, turn off water and remove the supply hose, remove 5 torex screws remove panel disconnect two wire plugs remove 2 philips screws squeeze hose clamp remove old valve install new valve reversing directions

Unplugged power cord and shut off water supply. Then removed both water hoses from the dual water inlet value using adjustable pliers. Next removed four (4) star screws on top of the control panel. This required the purchase of a #20 torq screwdriver from sears costing $3. 99 Plus tax etc. Once the top panel lifted upward and to the left I was able to unplug both electricle connections on the water inlet vlaue. Next unscrewed two phillips head screws holding the water inlet value in place. Installed the new water inlet value in reverse of above. Time to complete was 22 minutes. Very easy repair to accomplish.

We were lucky, the agitator came off on its own. Removed the coupler which cracked when a sheet got stuck underneath it! Replaced coupler and new screw/nut combo, popped on agitator. That easy.

WATCH THE REPAIR VIDEO! I followed the easy instructions and replaced the water level pressure switch in no time. It was very easy to do!

My 45 year old son did it in the shop, and it only took a short time before we were washing clothers again, and no water on the floor. The part came through the day after I ordered them. Thank you very much

Remove agitator remove retainer screw and using Prybar lift off the old coupler ..... After removal use heat gun and wire brush to remove plastic residue from the splines of the motor shaft ... While the shaft is still warm line up the splines from the new coupler and using the mallet force the coupler on the shaft ... Install the retainer screw that comes with the coupler and snap on the agitator ... Done

I pulled up on the fin part of the agitator exposing the gear coupling. I unbolted the nut on top with a 12 mm socket. Once the nut and washer were removed I pulled up on the gear coupling and slid it right off. Reversed procedures to install the new one.
