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

popped out the top (softener cup) opened the nut with a 7/16 wrench with an extension. The agitator assembly popped out then the plastic clip was removed upside down because there you get to replace the Cogs.

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.

reviewed video of repair and repaired now washer works as it should . thank you

First I pulled off the top of agitater,then unloosened the center bolt. Grabbed hold of agitater and pulled out of washer.Took out each individual gog,and replaced with new ones. Assembled reverse order,now the washer agitates like it did when it was new.Thanks Partselect for the very fast service,and cheap prices,

There are 4 cogs that are in contact with a gear which slips in one direction and catches in the other direction as the agitator oscillates back and forth. Two of the cogs were broken and the agitator would no longer turn thus the cloths would not circulate properly through the wash and rinse cycles. The cogs (dogs), by some manufacture’s name, cost $3.83 and just over 10 dollars total including S&H.
There is also an excellent video on the PartSelect site which shows exactly how to remove the agitator, dismantle and then reassemble it. The cogs were simple to replace.
I would not have had the slightest idea how to do this without the video. My first thoughts, when I saw that the agitator wasn't working were A:Oh no I'm going to need to tear the washing machine completely apart to fix the problem or B:Replace the whole washing machine.....I'm sure there are many folks who would have just given up and used plan B. This is a great Website! I'm sure I'll be back here for other household repairs.

Pull off the top agitator cap and pull out the agitator cap barrier. The agitator bolt is recessed in the upper agitator and needs a ratchet extension shaft (>8") to access the bolt. Remove the bolt and pull out the agitator assembly. I found the teeth of the old cogs completely worn away. Remove the old cogs and clean out the debris. With the assembly upside down, install the new cogs, they will only go in properly one way. The trick to installing the assembly is to visually align the keys of the assembly with the slots in agitator so it drops in the first time. Trying to rotate the assembly will cause the cogs to drop out. Replace and tighten the agitator bolt, replace the cap barrier and agitator cap. Done.

Removed the top agitator cover, removed bolt inside agitator. Pulled off agitator and removed cog housing. Replaced cogs and reassembled.

Found parts on internet at PartSelect.com
Ordered parts - received Parts in 3 days (Very good serice - Very pleasant response with PartSelect opptrator) - installed parts following the expanded view on the computer. All is well with the world.
Took longer to clean the inside of the agitator than to install the parts.

pop off the cap in the center of the agitator and un srew the bolt, then pull it apart and then with a srew drive pry on one of the 2 clip like holders and it all will come apart.

Removed fabric softener dispenser, plastic cap under it. Removed the nut holding the agitator in and removed the agitator. Popped out the agitator assembly, removed the old dogs and put in the new ones, Re-assembled in reverse and it works fine now.
