WZRE5260F2GG General Electric Washer - Instructions

Removed agitator by pulling up, wiggle to and fro, watch out for unexpected release. Agitator coupler was worn, stripped splines. 7\16 socket, long extension to remove bolt in coupler. Install new coupler, new bolt, then line up agitator to splines on agitator coupler and push to snap in place.

Replaced the sensing thermistor. It was necessary to remove the front and top panels to get to the location at the water inlet. The wiring diagram located in a pocket in the control panel actually had good instructions for the disassembly.

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.
