Worn out agitator directional clogs.
I just ordered the complete agitator kit since I didn't know for sure what I all needed, and it made my repair so easy replacing since it was all complete. I followed video which was a great help. Got it all done in 25 minutes. Very easy. Thank you...

Had to replace the agitator
I already had the old agitator out, so when I got the new one I put it in the tub. You have to spin it a little so it seats properly. I then tightened the bolt with a 7/16” socket and my wife was washing a load within 15 minutes

Top section of agitator was slipping.
I ordered the new cogs but didn't want to wait the few days for them to arrive. So I decided to try and temporarily repair the old ones. After looking at the picture of the new ones on this site I realized that the teeth were just worn down. I took all four of them out and used a grinding disc to carve the teeth down deeper. They were not perfect. (I would recommend holding the teeth with a vise.) However, after reinstalling the cogs the machine worked perfect and that was two weeks ago. I'm not going to install the new ones until I have to.

The Washer wasn't agitating.
Removed the attaching bolt and then removed the Upper Agitator Assembly. I removed the damaged parts and installed the Agitator Repair Kit and Re-installed the NEW Upper Agitator Assembly.
All of our wash was smelling like mildew. It was making us nauseas . After the repair everything smelled fresh and clean again. We received our parts within three days.
Thanks

agitator bumping and knocking
I removed the agitator top cap first. I reached inside and removed plastic cap. I then removed the 7/16 bolt inside the agitator and lifted it out of the machine. I put my foot on the bottom part of the agitator and pulled the top part off. I removed the plastic bushing in the bottom part and then removed the plastic bushing with the dog ears and the bolt. I used some appliance grease on the bushing on the bottom part and slid the top part of the agitator back in place and replaced the 7/16 bolt. It worked like a charm. My wife says I'm her hero. Thanks for making it so easy.

Replace Agitator kit
Removed top agitator bolt lifted agitator out and replaced ring and geared dogs. replaced Agitator top swirl vanes. It would have been nice if the kit included agitator grease and a new bolt and washer.

Upper agitator not turning.
Removed agitator cover with small screwdriver. Removed bolt holding agitator with socket on 6" extender. Pulled agitator up and out. Replaced thrust spacer adding tiny amount of silicone grease. Replaced agitator directional cogs adding small amount of silicone grease. Note direction of cogs first or they will make a loud ratcheting noise. Reassemble. The drawing on this site is helpful.
