7MKTWS300DW0 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

First I removed the Softener cap. Then I removed the cap over the bolt. 7/16 socket to remove bolt. Removed old agitator and put in new one. Put bolt back in and reinstall parts taken out.

Removed the nut in center of agitator, removed agitator, installed new agitator. Extremely easy repair.

Purchased complete agitator for ease of repair. Part came ready to remove broken agitator and replace with new agitator. Pull off top fabric soft dispenser, pull out filer at bottom of dispenser, remove 7/16" bolt from center, pull off complete agitator and replace with new agitator and replace 7/16" bolt, filter and top dispenser.

First I removed the nut holding the agitator assembly and replace it with the new one. It was a simple process and now my washer works like new.

After calling my brother in law, who repairs appliances professionally, he told me my "DOGS" were bad....after explaining I didn't have a dog anymore, he told me what I needed. I called Part Select.com they sent me a picture of what I needed. I compared it to my tired old dogs, ordered it and took the least expensive shipping..to my surprise it was on my doorstep the next day! install instructions included! I will definitely recommend Parts Select.com and will certainly use them and my brother in law again I am sure!!

My husband had no problem putting the new agiator together, took old one out and put the new one in, works like a charm.

I watched the video, read about the 10-minute repairs and how easy it was, and thought "no problem"...It turned out that "popping the top part of the agitator" off the base was NOT easy. I finally admitted defeat and got my husband's help. He could not get them to "pop" apart either! I did not know that the 4 white plastic tabs through the cam were what was holding it together. Since I could see that ours were damaged and I wasn't getting anywhere anyway, I took a long screwdriver and poked, scraped, and pried on them out of sheer frustration. When some of the bits of plastic had broken off, I stood on the base and yanked up on that darn thing as hard as I could and yep - it "popped" off sending parts flying across the laundry room. The rest of the repair was done in under 5 minutes.
Note to others: If the 4 plastic tabs that hold the cam to the base have been melted/crushed flat, don't expect the two parts of the agitator to come apart easily!

Removed fabric softner unit. Removed the seal, and 7/16th nut. Removed unit and replaced with
new.

I performed the repair after watching a YouTube video. Definately need a socket wrench ext. Before you try anything. It all went to plan until I tried to pull the agitator tube from the agitator base. The problem was caused by the manufacturer melting the base tabs with the agitator spindle. The melted plastic made it near impossible to pull the two pieces apart without using a knife and twenty minutes of my time prying the agitator from the tabs. Other than that it was an moderately easy fix with two tools and well worth it.

I pulled out the fabric softener despencer took out the plastic cap to expose the retaining bolt. Removed the bolt and pulled out the complete agitater. Put together the top and bottom of the new agitater,set it in, put bolt back in. replaced cap and softener despencer. Took about 15 minutes. recieved the parts in 2 days, great site. thanks John

Like most said, I had to pull very hard to separate the clothes mover (auger) from the agitator. I tried to remove the bolt from the center column, but it didn't fall out immediately so I figured I would just take it out after I seperated the two peices. BIG MISTAKE! When the clothes mover finally popped off with a great deal of force, the bolt and rubber washer went flying. And I was in the laundry room with clothes everywhere. So it took me about 20-30 minutes going through all the clothes in the room to find the bolt. So try a little harder than I did to romove the bolt before you seperate the the two main pieces. Other than that, it was a very simple repair. You just need to have the right tool - a hex-shaped socket on an extension arm to reach into the center column and loosen the bolt after getting to it.

I removed the top part by hand (where additives go), reached in and removed the inner cover by pinching it and picking it up. With a socket wrench, I removed the nut, then jiggled the whole thing until it came off. I took the complete agitator (upper and lower) out of the washing machine, then took it apart on a table. I noticed the cam had broken pieces in it so I ordered the complete cam package (under $7). If I ever do this again, I will take several pictures with my digital camera because I wasn't sure if certain parts were to be replaced upright or downwards since they appeared to go either way. Fortunately, there were other descriptions posted that helped me do this correctly...not to mention the diagrams provided by PartSelect. With this information, I put it back together and the washing machine works great! I highly recommend PartSelect! One more thing...I got my parts in only 2 days, so we weren't without a washer very long.

Bottom agitator worke fine, but top would not.Ordered new agiator cam kit and thrust spacer. Removed top agitator with a 3/8" socket, replaced cam kit and spacer.Washer agitates as new. Great parts blow-up drawing and in-stock as well. Thanks

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.

The 5 minutes installion required a 1/2 inch socket with an extensin bar to remove 1 screw.
