11022102312 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

Watched the great parts select video and then check all other parts on bottom and top agitator for wear then found the parts I needed, very easy fix and runs like new.

I noticed the problem and went on-line to PartSelect.com. When I entered the make and model # a part list and diagram came up. I clicked on the part I needed and there was a vidio on how to replace this part. After I watched how to do the repair I ordered the part with my credit card. It came the next day. I couldn't believe it I saw the problem found the part and had it repaired in 24hrs. Thank You PartSelect

My top agitator didn't turn much during the wash cycle, but would turn rather freely by hand. I watched the video (Steve's). When I removed the fabric softener cup I could see that the dogs' "teeth" were worn off. That was the problem. I ordered the dogs (under $20, shipped). I borrowed an extension for my socket set, and that's all I needed.

Hint: I rinsed the cap-and-seal assembly with warm water to loosen the soap/softener that had stuck it in place, dried it, then I removed it just by pulling it up. The bolt was pretty tight and I had to hold the lower agitator in place while loosening the bolt. My washer differed slightly from the one in the video: the retainer for the dogs was under the top agitator so lining everything up after replacing the dogs was a little trickier, but still no big deal. The repair took about 15 minutes. I'm a do-it-yourself woman, but I'd never repaired the washer before. The video was very helpful.

I just unscrewed the top agitator cap and slid the o-ring on and put it back. Done in seconds.

I took the top off of the agitator, Just down inside was a plastic cover, removed it.Then I used a nutdriver and removed a 7/16 bolt. then the top part of the agitator lifts up and you can get at the cogs. remove old cogs and install new ones. put agitator back on, put bolt back in put plastic cap inside, finnaly plastic cap on top and your done.

The repair was simple and quick. only one bolt had to be removed to remove the agitator. I replaced the cogs. In less than 15 minutes to washing machine was as good as new.

Removed the fabric softener distribution container from top of the agitator,(by pulling up on the green ring ), with a flat blade screwdriver I removed cap from the top of the top half of the agitator. Then with a 7/16 socket and a short extension I removed the bolt holding the agitator in place, placing the agitator in the floor and hold it down I pulled the top half off,removed the black retainer ring to expose the directional cogs, removed old one's replaced with the new one's and to re-install I reversed the procedure.

I popped off the top cover of the agitator. then took out the little cover with the gasket lower down. then i took a socket set and loosened the center bolt. I had to hold the bottom of the agitator so it wouldn't move as i unscrewed it. once the bolt was completely loose i took off the top part of the agitator. i turned it over and dumped out the assembly in there that holds the dogs in place. I turned it over and removed the old dogs and then put the new ones in. then i held the agitator top part upside down and put the assembly back in. holding it tight to the bottom, i lined up and set the top part of agitator back onto the lower part. then i got the screw and put it back in and tightened it down. i replaced the cover that had the gasket then replaced the top cap. all in all it took me less than 15 minutes to get it completely fixed and throw my laundry in.

Removed the cover to the agitator, removed one screw, pulled off the top half of the agitator and turned it over, replaced the cogs, put it all back. Instructions for the entire process were on the website. I saved over $100 with 10 minutes work!

Removed top cap by twisting and pulling up, next reached in and removed cap over the retaining bolt. Used a 7/16 socket and 12 inch extension on a 3/8 drive ratchet to lossen & remove bolt. Top portion of agitator lifted off. Placed hand in top of removed unit, tipped unit over and removed insert that holds directional coggs. Reversed procedure to install. Caution, top of agitator that mates with insert, has 2 tabs that bend over if not careful when reinstalling top unit. I understand these tabs are unnecessary and may be twisted off prior to reinstallation process, making it a lot easier.

Removed both caps, used extended socket arm and removed bolt - replaced cogs and reassembled- very easy fix although cogs had to be secured with some petroleum jelly to keep them from slipping out of housing during assembly

I removed the liquid softner insert, then I removed the barrier cap and o-ring. I used a 3/8" drive ratchet , 12" extension and a 7/16" socket to remove bolt and washer that holds the upper aggitaor to the bottom aggitator. I then removed the upper aggitator from the muchine and removed cam that hold the directional cogs. Inserted the new cogs and reassembled in revese order.

We have a Whirlpool washer, old but used gently. One year ago it broke down (agitator wouldn't turn) so we called a local in-house serviceman. He took 35 minutes to fix the washer and billed us $88.00, we paid and he left. We only got 12 months out of the repair because it recently broke again (same problem). I went online and spied "Agitator Directional Cogs" for $3.00 and small change, so I ordered two packs. They arrived in three days. The repair took me less than two minutes, and the washer works like new again. Who could ask for anything more? AND...I'm telling everyone I know about PartSelect!

I removed the bucket (dispenser) and remove the four old agitators and installed new four agitators and it works wonderful.

Many Thanks!
