YJSR2070TAAA General Electric Washer - Instructions

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.

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!

Slide rope beneath agitator.
Pull up with good force..agitator will separate from coupling.
Remove screw from coupling.
Slide coupling off.
Slide on new coupling.
Install screw included with the new agitator (Don't use old screw. The new one is a specialty part designed for new coupling)
Slide agitator back down over coupling.
Done

Popped the agitater off the coupler by using belt slipped under agitater and pulling up sharply. Unbolted coupler but it was stuck. Put agitater back on minus the bolt. Put a couple towels into washer ran a small load, soon as it started to agitate I could hear a sound and I found both pieces had came off the splined shaft. Hard part was over.

took the old bolt and coupling off replaced with the new one and it's agitating great. I watched the video on the this website that explained how to do it and it was real easy and a cheap fix!

First I yanked off the agitator. Then I undid the bolt holding the coupler onto the center of the machine. Took the worn down coupler off, replaced it with the new coupler and bolt. Good as new. GE was going to charge me $85 just for a someone to walk through the door. After parts and labor I am sure they would have charged me $200. I did it on my own for $20 (had the part rush shipped so that was twice the price of the part).

This model did not quite go as in the video on this site. The agitator just pulls up off the coupler. Removed the old, put on new, including new bolt that came with it, snapped the agitator back on, viola!

Removed center hub and agitator with a sharp tug upward ( no tool required) then using a 3/8 drive and 7/16 socket I removed the stripped coupling and replaced with new one. Total repair time was less then 15 min. 10 of then were spent search web page and watching DIY video clip.

It was really simple just pull up the agitator and take off the screw that holds the coupling down slide it off and put the new coupling on and you are done.

removed agitator and coupling, found splines stripped. replaced coupling and installed agitator.

I was searching the web and came across this site. I ordered my part that was needed, on Thursday and received it on Saturday. I was very pleased with the quick shipment and price of the part as was my wife. I had it back together in 5 minutes . Thanks Paul Stone

it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. just remove the
parts don to the agitator coupling press back on the steel spline after inspection and cleaning put the bolt back and the washer was back working like new.

Replaced the Agitator Coupling. Ordering was very easy and I received the part the next day. It's good to know that there is a company that you could get parts from and receiving the part in such a short time. Thank you very much!!! :)

take out the agitator (pull straight up), remove old coupling by using a phillips head screw driver and install the new one.

I lifted the agitator stragiht up. removed agitator coupling bolt w/pliers. went on Partselect.com to order replacement coupling, which supplied me with exploded diagrams, entered part number in box at the bottom of the screen and waited 2 days. It then took me less than 5 minitues to complete.
