Top agitator stop turning / broken cogs ( 4 )
Took off top cap of agitator then removed cover that is over the bolt that holds the agitator to the shaft.
With a rachet and extension & 7/16 socket and holding bottom of agitator still so the bolt could be broken loose then holding only the top of agitator to
loosen the bolt the rest of the way. It had been in for
so long the bottom of the agitator had to be broken loose and then the top of the agitator came off like it
was suppose to. Then I took out the gear that has the Agitator Directional Cogs attached to it and took
out the old COGS and replace them with new COGS. Held the top of the agitator upside and put
the gear with the new COGS. So the cogs wouldn't fall out and slide the gear into place and then turned the agitator right side up & put it back on the
washer Machine. Had to use pliers to hold the bolt
straight to line it up and put the bolt in place then
tighten bolt job is complete.

Noisy operation. Sound of plastic gear trying to engage
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.

Was no longer agitating
This couldn't have been an easier nor less expensive repair! For about ten bucks and about fifteen minutes, our nearly twenty-year-o;d washer is almost as good as new! Simple, quick and cheap - nothing's better than that!

Agitator cogs were stripped
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!

Top of agitator would not turn, pushing cloths down for the paddles to agitate.
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.

upper agitator was not working.
Snap off the plastic cap at the top of the agitator. You will see what to do next. You have worn directional cogs. Some refer to them as dogs. Clever engineering.
