WTW4800XQ0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

I had already taken the agitator apart to see what the problem might be. that was very simple. When I watched the video you have on your sight, you took it apart the same way I did, so you have it right!

repair went well. video presentation was helpful but our washer was not quite the same as video. we had to print the assembly diagram to visualize the proper order to place the new parts. all in all it was a simple fix.

Pop cap off top of agitator. remove bolt that holds down agitator,which lets you remove the top of agitator that holds the directional cogs. remove top install cogs, make sure they are turned in right direction, and re install top of agitator.

Removed anti-static fluid dispenser from top of agitaator. Using 7/16" socket with long extention and ratchit unscrewed bolt holding agitataor to drive shaft, while prfeventing adgitaor from turning. Lifted off two piece agitator. After some confusion and study, held lower part of agitator and jerked up on top part of agitator. Removed old cam unit. With instruction sheet assembled new cam unit and placed in between two paarts of agitator. Placed agitator on shaft. Holding bottom paart of agitator, installed bolt holding agitaatort on shaft. Was absolutely delighgted with the fast, accurate service in ordering and receiving the cam kit. You haave made me a believer.

as in video

After about 4-5 years, the agitator cogs or "dogs" will wear out and cause the agitator to stop working-Simply pop the cap off of the top of the agitator with your hands by pulling upwards, remove the plastic cap at the bottom of the agitator-there are 2 plastic ears that you pull up on also with your hand, exposing a 1/2 locking nut. Use a socket and extention to unscrew the nut. Grab the bottom of the agitator with both hands and pull sharply upwards removing the entire assembly. Flip the assembly over to expose the four cogs. Replace with new, and reverse the procedure to reinstall the agitator
