It was exactly like the old part. At first we put it in wrong. Then watched a video and it was a snap!

Part worked; repair not easy
Unlike in the videos, it took two people to remove the bolt--one to hold the agitator while another turned the bolt. Then, even standing on the edges of the agitator, the top didn't just pop off. I used hot water to have part expand and then I was able to remove the top part. Putting it back together, it was difficult to line up the 4 tabs. Fortunately my wife has tiny fingers and she could put her entire hand in the hole and easily lined up the tabs with the hole. So it wasn't a quick 5 minute job as some said, but it was worth it because a few years ago I was quoted about $360 for a repairman just to come out to the house to look at the washer--not counting labor and parts for the repair. So having done that repair plus this one myself, I probably saved a total of $700-$800 over calling a repair service for both repairs. Washier now works perfectly and I suggest others should do the same--especially if they have a wife to lend an occasional hand. The lady at PartSelect was very helpful in finding the correct part for me after I geve her the washer model number.

Fast and easy fix! Thank You!
Your instructional videos helped me to diagnose the problem, determine which parts to order and how to complete the repair. The Agitator Cam kit was ordered on a Saturday afternoon & arrived on the following Tuesday before noon. They appeared to be recently manufactured parts, made of high quality material and a perfect fit for my washer. Thank you so much!

Agitator won’t work. Spins freely both ways
Followed YouTube video. Pull fabric softener cap off. Pull the clear round disk plug up and out with two fingers spread. Loosen bolt. Reach down at base of agitator and pull it out. Clean. Replace parts. Very straight forward doing a one for one swap. All parts were stripped. Good as new now.
I went to a site that helped me diagnose the potential problems with my washer. It was the dogs that had gone bad and we're no longer gripping the upper agitator. Socket set to go in and undo the bulb the holes the upper agitator in place. You just remove the assembly that holds the dogs and I used a new washer that goes in between the up

And I also bought another order we can involve the upper agitator and an extra set of those dogs. Awesome company! Customer service is incredible!
After googling the issue, I found a video suggesting that if the agitator spins freely, it's because the plastic agitator dogs are worn and not engaging.
I bought the parts, and they arrived quickly. The agitator bolt in my unit was so rusted that I had to use a bit of CLR to get a look at it, and it was so worn that all my soc
... Read morekets spun freely. I used a bolt extractor and it came out with only a little effort.
From there, I was able to pop out the agitator and separate the two halves. The old cam kit was definitely trashed. It was easy to remove. I mistakenly put the yellow plastic retainer on the cam kit on upside down, which meant it failed to lock into place. As a result, when I first tried to put it in, it fell apart. I realized the error and adjusted.
It was a little tricky to line up the cam kit correctly, but only took a few tries. It snapped into place pretty easily.
I replaced the large o-ring around the cap barrier, so that this new bolt will hopefully not rust so easily.
It was easy enough to get the agitator back together and in place. It works great now.
Following the video that was supplied with my order was super helpful. Watching it though made the job seem very easy of which it really wasn't. My washer is about 6 years old so it had a LOT of build up on EVERYTHING making the disassembly harder than you may think. Once apart I needed to really scrub everything clean before reassembly a

Once it was off I was able to replace the Tub Wear Pads quite easily. Getting to it was the challenge. Installing new wear pads and new suspension springs fixed the problem. Once I had the casing back together I replaced the agitator cam set as well. I figured as long as I already had it apart why not be proactive and fix the next to fail and boy am I glad I did. Once I had it out it just fell apart in my hands with the cams showing almost no ribs at all left to latch onto.
Upper agitator would not push clothes down as required for cleaning
I went on YouTube and seen how to do this job it showed it to be quite simple I then went on parts select.com put in my model serial number and was able to come up with a complete parts breakdown I then ordered the parts that I needed when they arrived I installed them the washer is working great thank you Parts select
My unit is 12 years old and this is the first issue I have had with it "Whirlpool washing machine". Repair was very easy and simple.

watched the video it was very helpful ~ repair went smooth ~ had to have a friend hold the tub in place while I broke the bolt loose.

Upper agitator would not move
Begin by removing the fabric softener dispenser then the barrier cap can be pulled from the agitator this will allow access to the agitator retainer bolt use an 11mm socket and extension to remove it once the bolt is out the agitator assembly can be pulled straight up out of the machine. To separate the upper agitator from the lower placi
... Read moreng the agitator on the floor and placing your feet on the lower half and pulling up on the upper half will separate the two parts, however before performing this operation the agitator cam assembly may be heat set in place, looking down into the upper agitator there are four lugs that hold the cam in place if you use a sharp knife and cut thru the areas that have been heated and welded together separation of the two half's will be made easier. Once all the old cam parts are out reassemble the new parts the same way as the old ones were removed, the cam kit and the thrust washer kit come with a diagram in case you forget how to reassemble the parts. The agitator assembly simply slips back onto the drive splines, the attachment bolt has a seal under it that can be crushed if the attachment bolt is tightened too tight, I could not find a torque specification for this bolt so what I did was tighten the bolt until it contacted the seal completely and then applied just enough torque to turn the bolt until the agitator began to turn along with the bolt, then just install the barrier cap and seal and replace the fabric softener dispenser and the job is done, if you're washer is like mine I spent more time cleaning parts than actually performing this repair.

My washer start to make a grinding noise and was not spinning, I disassemble it and I notice the agitator was worn out do you think this can be the problem ?
For model number LSQ8000HQ0
Hi Odair, Thank you for the question. Yes, If the agitator is wore out then it will not grip and will cause the grinding noise. Good luck with your repair!

The top part of the agitator just goes around and does not push the clothing down.
For model number LSQ8543JQ0
Hello Di, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the Agitator Directional Cogs, PartSelect Number PS388034. They are also sold as a kit PartSelect Number PS334648. If broken or worn, they can cause this issue. Hope this helps!
Washer bangs loudly and moves around mostly near the end of spin cycle. Suspension looks ok. Tub seems balanced correctly. Belt looks good. Any suggestions. Otherwise still washes the clothes fine.
For model number WTW4800xq4
Hello Herb, thank you for your question. Since those suspension and belt looks good and the load is balanced correctly, we would recommend replacing the Drive Block - 2 5/16" High Part Number: PS11741977. Please enter the part number into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair!

My dog ears keep coming loose causing the agitator to do a poor job. Do I need this whole assembly?
For model number LSQ9010PGO
Hi Danielle, thank you for your question. The agitator directional cogs can be purchased separately for this model. The part number is PS388034. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service!
During the Rinse cycle, the tub rotation recently slowed and now only tries to move tub but no rotation now ?
Does a belt drive the tub or what part is needed ?
Thanks

For model number WTW5800SWO
Hello Don, thank you for writing. Or first suggestion would be the Agitator Directional Cogs PartSelect Number PS388034. Next, try the Direct Drive Motor Coupling PartSelect Number PS1485646. We have an installation videos for you to access. We hope to hear from you soon.
Hello,
Washer stopped in mid cycle yesterday so I turned it off and back on again, it make a grinding noise for a couple of seconds while it tried to agitate then stopped working and only makes a humming sound now when turned on. Will fill with water but wont agitate or spin. Any suggestions on what might be the problem?
Thank you
For model number WTW5500SQ2
Hello Brad, thank you for the question. The main parts that are relevant to your issue are the drive motor coupling, part number PS1485646, and agitator directional cogs, part number PS388034. The agitator's directional cogs ratchet across the gear teeth in one direction and dig into the gear teeth in the opposite direction to create agitation. The motor coupling is a flexible coupling that connects the motor shaft to the direct-drive transmission. You may need to check these parts, as they are responsible for the agitation of your washer. We hope this sorts out your problem!
My washer will try to agitate however it on move 2-3 inches and rocks back an inch or two. I cleaned and replace the cogs but have the same issue. What is next?
For model number WTW4816FW2
Hello Tommy, thank you for the question. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest checking the drive pulley, part number PS10057144. We hope this information is useful!
