Agitator was not agitating. Dogs were obviously worn down..
A short internet search turned up the PartSelect youtube video. The repair was just as easy as the video made it look. It took longer to clean the fabric softener holder and the inside of the agitator than it did to do the actual repair. I am not afraid to try to fix something but still a novice at washer repair. Thank you for the video!

upper agitator not turning
Simple repair. Removed bolt holding agitator and pulled up on the upper agitator. Depending on how old the washer is, you may have to use a rubber mallet to break upper agitator free. Installed new cam kit and problem was fixed.

Agitator worked part time.
Removed the old agitator (one bolt, two minutes).
Upon receipt of the new part from Partselect (3 days) set the new agitator in place and reinstalled the bolt (two minutes). So simple

Noticed top portion of the agitater was not spinning
First I removed the fabric softener dispenser, next was a seal cap. Under the cap you find the cam-agit and a bolt which secures the whole assembly to the main shaft. Once you remove the bolt the whole agitater assembly will slide right off you then pop out the old cam-agit and replace with new. Very simple

Wouldn't agitate
I watched the how-to video on your website and did exactly what he showed and it worked. I am a 44 year old woman and am pleased that I was able to do this repair by myself. I did borrow the tools from my son. Thank you!

Top part of the agitator wasn't agitating.
After reading one of the reviews on this website, I decided to order the parts and do it myself. I removed the softener cup. Reached inside and pulled up on plastic cover. Used socket with extension to remove bolt while holding base with the other hand, Pulled up on top of agitator and it came came out exposing the Agitator cam bearing and directional cogs. These lifted right out and were very easily replace with the new parts. It took me longer to clean the old fabric softener and detergent off the upper and lower agitators than it did to do the actual repair. This website is great!

The agitator was broken, did not clean clothes well.
Removed the cap of the existing agitaor then selected the proper socket with an extension and removed the bolt. The old agitator was removed and the new one installed, nut replaced and tightened. Replaced existing cap.
Actually took more time to take the new agitator out of the box it was delivered in.,

The agitator had started to become noisey and was not ingaging immediately with each turn.
After watching the video, I simply did as the tech did. The agitator was difficult to pull apart once the unit was removed. So for anyone else doing this, be sure to have your body clear of the cylinder as you free it from it's base. Also, place tape over the top to prevent the cam kit from flying out. Pay close attention as to which side of the replacement kit is "up" or "down." It actually was very easy. Thanks for the video.
