3rd time replacing this part. The plastic grooves against the metal get wore down. Only 20$ to repair ! Take off the 3/8 bolt - center pops out. Remove screws pop out old piece and tighten new piece each side evenly.

Remove agitator and replace hub. I also recommend replacing the Suspension too. I could tell the hub was bad the piece of metal washer on the bottom was gone. The suspension lost a lot of its stiffing

Followed video from you tube. Man made it look very easy. Not! Hole that lock has to come through in back was very tricky. Also, DO NOT THROW OUT OLD PART UNTIL NEW ONE IS INSTALLED. The reason for that is there is a CLIP at the end of the old part that is needed to attach new part to wire section in control panel. NO WHERE is it m ...

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

two small compression clamps hold the hoses in place. these are very simple to remove, however to reinstall the new hoses you should unscrew the pumps with a nut driver, secure the hoses with the clamps, and then screw the pump back to the bottom of the drum. oh yeah make sure to put the back plate back on the machine

Dismantled washer lid to install new locking mechanism.

First replaced four basket spring supports. Next tried Basket hub assembly ( which showed wear, but not total solution). Next replaced the rotation sensor that's on the stator. That finalized the issue.

Replaced water inlet valve. Parts select video was incorrect for my unit. There are no spring clips to be released using a putty knife. Rather remove the two screws in the back of the top, pull the top forward and up to get at hose connections to the valve. Hint, place a towel under the valve connections because after removed from the val ... Read more ve, the hoses will leak to the floor. I propped the top up with a stick. All the other stuff in the video is good. Unplug and turn water off, remove connectors from old valve etc. . I also removed the protective plate over the cabled that runs between the washer and the control panel located on the back of the washer. The will make the sliding of the top forward easier. Only one screw involved.

The hardest part on fixing this is trying to move the washer out of its place so I can tilt it to see underneath the washer where the repair would be.

My problem stemmed from a previous leaky bleach dispenser hose (repaired over a year ago). It had leaked just above suspension rod assembly (only 1 of 4 was effected).Rod had rusted to point where it snapped just below the top mount. This actually made the replacement very easy as the rod simply slid out of the bottom tub channel and onto ... Read more floor when washer tilted 45 degrees. Before tilting washer, unplug washer and disconnect supply lines and drain hos Use pry bar to separate cabinet top from cabinet lower section. Tilt top section to grant accesses to top suspension rod retainer mounts. Remove black rubber retainer washer from new suspension rod. As assistant holds tilted washer, a new suspension rod can be pushed thru bottom tub channel. Place black rubber washer back onto suspension rod. This will prevent the new rod from sliding full back out tub channel when released. The purchased suspension item has four rods and four top retainers. I could have reused the old retainer, but would have been more difficult to release the remaining rusted rod bit. So pulling up on rod and twisting suspension rod such that rod hook end pass thru top cabinet retainer cup and slides into position on new rod hook end retainer. Release retainer and rod, and move tub side to side allowing retain to assume natural position. (reference the other 3 retainers). Realign mating surfaces of cabinet top and cabinet lower if needed. Close cabinet top onto cabinet lower. Connect supply lines and drain hose, Plug unit in. Repair complete.

Removed the center cover of the agitator with a flathead. Removed the nut of the agitator main cover.
