The top part of the agitator was not turning; the cams had disintegrated
I did the repair as specified in the excellent video supplied with the confirmation of my order. It would not have take more than 15 minutes if I had ignored the 13 years of built up scum on all the parts as I disassembled the agitator. Cleaning everything before reassembling took most of the time. It made no sense to me to have the agitator apart without cleaning everything. It works fine now and looks shiny clean.

No movement in upper agitator.
Replaced upper agitator cam kit assembly, very easy to replace and in about 15 minutes. I would also like to mention about PartSelect's web sit is very easy to find your parts and at good prices they even have video's if you need a little explanation on how to install your part.

Upper Agitator not working
I am so glad that I found this site!! We had our washing machine looked at by a repair guy that wanted to charge us $90 +labor to repair the agitator. I looked on this site and found the parts and how to fix it myself. It cost me $6.52!!!! I can't believe that he was going to charge me for the agitator when all it was, was the dog ear cams!
Thanks again!
Greg
Thanks again!

original agitator "gears" were worn making the rotation / agitation work poorly
When the parts arrived it was relatively easy to remove the entire agitator system with one socket through the top of the molded plastic. The new parts were exact fit (even exact color) so repair was fairly easy.
Once the bolt is removed allowing removal of the entire agitator, the remaining parts come apart without tools. The only problem is if the new part comes apart. The "gears" can be put in backwards not allowing for the proper agitation.

Old hot water inlet hose had budge at both ends.
Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

Top of agitator stopped working.
Removed nut holding the agitator in and replaced. Quick and easy.
Was easy to order and was here in 3 days. Faster than the local part dealer could get it to me.
Will use again if needed.

agitator was not turning
I removed all center plastic pcs. by pulling them out by hand. No tools required until you get to nut, unscrewed nut counterclockwise and then pulled straight up on agitator. Set it on the ground and replaced worn parts. Reversed setup to put back together. P.S. Agitator snaps on and off, it takes a little force ..........AFTER NUT IS REMOVED OF COURSE.

The agitator wouldn't turn.
The part came in the mail. We (my daughter(12 years old) and I) opened the box. Took the part out and measured it (the description didn't fit the requirements). It turned out to be the correct part. My daughter undid the retaining bolt and pulled out the old agitator. We compared the the parts side by side, and everything matched. We put the new part in, aligned the splines, and reinstalled the retaining bolt. Everything went perfectly.
Thanks,

Agitator wasn't working properly
Watched the PartSelect video and it was a help, but it stated to throw away the old bolt and install the new, but it wasn't inclued in the Cam kit and wasn't told when ordering that it should be replaced. Still don't understand why. Took the opportunity to REALLY clean the agitator inside and out of soap scum. Just about soaked off with Scrubbing Bubbles in the shower! PartSelect had the parts we needed at a much less cost than the major stores. Thank you!S
