Agitator is not turning
Agitator came off easily, but the agitator coupling was a little bit hard to remove. I have to yank it hard to be able to remove it. Putting the new part in is a bit hard too. I had to use a hammer to put it in. (with a piece of wood in between). Tried it with a small load and We're back in business. It was a pleasant experience to do business with you guys. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

Agitator not working.
Easy as it gets. I did this repair while playing Wii with my 8 year old and cooking supper... Still no more than a 10 minute fix.
Place a towel on one side of the washer so you won't scratch it.
Tie a loop of rope around the middle of the agitator between the upper and lower fins. Wrap the other end of the rope around a 2x4 ( I used a level), or anything similar and wind it around until the 2x4 is pulled down level with the top, keeping one end on the towel.
Yank the other end firmly a few times, and the agitator will seperate from the coupling. I had to snatch it pretty hard.
I removed the 7/16" bolt from the coupling, pulled it off the spline and replaced it with the new one.
The agitator slid right back into place with no trouble, and it is good as new.
What seemed like an expensive repair, or even the need for a new appliance was essentially removing one bolt and a replacing a $6 part.
Thanks!

Agitator wouldn't spin on washing cycle
I took the plastic agitator out and checked the agitator coupling underneath. I unscrewed the agitator coupling and looked inside. It appeared that the grooves on the agitator coupling which attaches to the stem had become stripped. I ordered the $6.00 agitator coupling and screwed it back onto the stem. The plastic agitator slipped back onto the coupler and it worked perfectly after that.

Start knob on dryer broken
There really is not much to explain, the new knob was so simple to replace that my six year old could have done it. No tools were required and it took less than a minute to replace the new knob.

The cold water wouldn't shut off causing the washer to overflow
I removed the supply hoses, removed the screws holding the sheet metal control console in place exposing the dual water inlet valve. Removed the two screws holding the valve in place, removed each wire from the old valve attaching it to the matching connector blade on the new valve. Using pliers loosened the spring clamp holding the output hose to the valve and reattached the hose to the new valve. Then screwed the new valve to the washer and reattached the supply hoses. After running a test for leaks and that the valve functioned properly, I screwed the sheet control console back in place.

Washing Machine Would Not Agitate
I noticed that the agitator would spin without any resistance and must be stripped. I pulled the agitator straight up and it came right off. I then used an open end wrench to remove the bolt securing the agitator coupler to the metal spline. It came right off and was obviously stripped. Upon receiving the new coupler, slipped it straight on and tightened the coupler. Placed the agitator on the coupler and tested the washer, it worked. Very easy. My wife was ready to buy a new washing machine and I fixed it with a six dollar part.

The washer would fill with water, drain and spin but the agitator would not work. It would just wobble around.
To get the old agitator off I first used two pieces of laundry line rope to hook under the fins of the agitator on each side. Next I laid a 5 foot long 2 X 4 across the top and tied the ropes on. I filled the washer with 5 or 6 inches of extremely hot water to help loosen everything up and used leverage to pop the old agitator off. After that I used a socket set to remove the bolt from the top of the agitator coupling and took it out. I then put the new coupling in, replaced the bolt and lined up the agitator and slid it back on until it clicked and locked into place. The washer works great.

Agitator wasn't agitating
I reached under the agitator on two sides with my fingers and with one good upward yank the agitator came loose. I removed the agitator from the inside of the machine, I seen the Agitator Coupling was spinning in both directions so I felt that it may have been broken. I removed the one bolt hold the Agitator Coupling in place, I remove and inspected the Coupling and noticed that the spline was worn out. I cleaned the transmission spine that the Coupling slides over with a wire brush while using a shop vacuum to catch any loose debris. I installed new Agitator Coupling Kit slipped the Agitator back inside the machine over the coupling and pressed it down until it snapped into place. Job done. Machine works great.

Machine would not agitate. Everything else seemed to be working fine.
I removed the fabric softener cup and lifted up on the agitaotor till it slid off. I then removed the bolt that held the agitator coupling in place. I then worked the coupling off, wiggling it side to side until it slid off. Then I slid the new coupling on and replaced the bolt. Lined up the agitator and slid it back on. Then replaced the fabric softener cup. Job could not have been any easier.

Washing machine did not agitate
My husband remove the agitator and found that it was worn. I googled the problem and one of the websites that came up was PartSelect. My husband watched the easy to follow video and had me order the Agitator Coupling Kit. It arrived in just two days. It took him 15 minutes to install and I started washing immediately. It cost us $13.22 and saved us $800 to $1200 if a new washing machine would of had to be purchased. The washer is 15 years old and now with this repair will hopefully continue to wash for a few more years! Thank you PartSelect!

Washing machine was leaking cold water
I removed the four screws at the top of the washing machine and pulled the front cover off. I unscrewed the two screws that was holding the valve and disconnected the sockets. Last put on the part and connected two wires and put screws back in and reconnected the hoses and washing machine is working perfectly.

Agitator Coupling Stripped Out, Machine Wouldnt Agitate
Placed hands fiemly on agitator, at bottom, gave a snug pull and removed it from machine, thus exposing the agitator coupling. The coupling is held to main shaft by 1 bolt(11 mm, I think). Removed it, pulled off stripped coulping, installed new, installed bolt, lined up splines on agitator and slid on untill it "clicked" back into place. All done.
