Wouldn't agitate.
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.

you can hear the motor running,but it sounds different when the agitator's not moving.
at 1st, i call GE for service, but i have to wait for the next available field service engineer which is 7 to 8 days to come to my place to check on the washer. the cost is $99.00(non refundable) and then he will order the parts needed for repair another 2 to 3 days. then i decided to buy the parts myself online,and google the web on "how to fix the washer that stopped agitating" everythings in there,with video instruction. pull the agitator up and out by grabbing on to its base. inside, the knot was corroded and the o ring worn out,but really easy to remove with the 11mm socket. the coupling kit although looks different,fit perfectly. insert says its an upgrade of the old model. toss the old and replace with the new, no sweat! now it's shaking like crazy.

Our washer stopped agitating
I followed the on-line video with just one exception and I had the old part off in less than 5 minutes. I ordered the part on Saturday afternoon and I had the part in hand by Wednesday morning at around 11:00 am. I spent less time installing the coupling kit than it took to take it apart and had 2 loads of clothes done before going to work on second shift. I would recommend anyone needing help contact Parts Select. They were great and very helpful.

agitator stopped agitating
There are many on-line videos to help you do this. It's so easy, even a beginner handyperson can do it. For this model, just run a strap under the agitator to assist you in lifting it up off the coupler (good tug). Remove the old worn coupler, put the new one on, set the agitator back on by giving it a little downward push.

Agitator would not agitate
The repair was really simple. I pulled off the agitator cap by hand, then put my fingers under the agitator itself. There should be some play in how much the agitator can be lifted up. Some instructions and how-to videos tell you to use a leather belt to remove the agitator but I didn't have a problem removing it with my hands. One quick, hard pull did the trick. Under the agitator, you'll see the agitator coupling, which s held on buy a 7/16" bolt on top. Use a nut driver or a socket to remove the bolt and pull the coupling straight up. Use a wire brush to scrape away all the crud underneath it and on the metal splines. Once the area is reasonably clean, slide the new coupling into place and reattach it with the new bolt that is provided. Line up the grooves in the coupling with the grooves in the agitator and snap it back down into place. Replace the agitator cap and you're all done.

My washer did not agitate. It would spin and the motor sounded like it was agitating.
I pulled the top of the agitator off (the softener dispenser) then pulled the agitator itself off. I had to pull with some force. I used the socket wrench to remove the bolt on top of the agitator coupling. I then pulled off the old agitator coupling, replaced it with the new part. Used the socket wrench to tighten the new bolt. Lined up the slots on the new coupling with the agitator top, it slid on with a little resistance. The last part to replace was the softener dispencer.

Agitator not working
Pulled off agitator with little effort. One 7/16 bolt to remove and the coupler came right off. Pushed on new coupler, replaced with new provided bolt, pushed agitator back on and was back in business!! Very simple inexpensive repair. Thanks Partsselect for your quick parts turnaround!

The clothes have been dingy for quite some time.
I noticed the agitator would spin all the way around, in each direction. Also, the machine would make no sound, associated with washing, during that part of the cycle. I pulled the fabric softener reservoir off, with fingers on each side of the agitator, i pulled straight up and that gives you access to the coupling. Use a 7/16'" socket to loosen the nut, remove it and pull the coupling off. Press the new coupling on the splined shaft, tighten nut, and line up agitator with the grooves, push it down and replace fabric reservoir. Straightforward repair.

machine wouldn't agitate
took agitator off, loosened bolt on coupling, took that off. Replaced new coupling and tightened bolt on top. Put agitator on and pushed down hard to set in place. I'm a 66 year old female with no mechanical ability. I ordered this part on Sat. and it was on my door step on Mon. great service and video explained how to do repair and information provided possible repair needed. Great company.....

Cracked Coupler
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.

agitator stopped working
I had no intention of trying to fix the washer myself after reading about how to do it, only because I didn't know what half of the words were referring to. But once I watched the video, and I saw that the part was going to cost less than $15.00 (shipping included), I thought I would at least try it before going out and buying a new machine. The washer in the video was slightly different than mine, but I recognized the parts from my machine and mine was actually easier to replace than the one in the video. I just pulled off the agitator, unbolted the old agitator coupling and replace it with the new one, bolted it back on and lined up the agitator grooves with coupling and that was it. It worked and saved me a lot of money. I once had an appliance repairman tell me that if your washer or dryer lasts 7 years nowadays, you should consider yourself lucky. Mine is 7 years old, so I thought I would have to replace it. I didn't particularly want to pay someone $100.00 to come to my house and tell me it couldn't be fixed if I was going to have to buy a new one. But fixing it myself was very easy. Written instructions never would have worked for me, but the video was very helpful. Thanks!
