Replaced the motor coupling 2 weeks before, when I started using again noticed the agitator wasn’t moving clothes. Started investing and found out about the “ dogs “. Tore into my machine. Sure enough! That was the problem!
Followed the video

Top agitator did not work
I removed the cover for the softener dispenser on the top of the agitator. Then reached in and removed the cover of the nut and washer which was very sticky and sealed with an o-ring. This took a bit of pressure. Then used a socket wrench with an extension to loosen the bolt and took the whole agitator out of the machine. Then I set the agitator on the floor and with a fine 12 inch long screw driver released the catches while turning and pulling the agitatior with my other hand and holding the lower agitatior on the floor with my feet. I then turned the upper part over and removed the cogs and holding mechanism.
Then I reversed the process after replacing the cogs with the new part. 25 minutes total.

Basically we did what everyone else did with this part, it help me realize I did not need to call a repairman for this, I knew hubby would be able to do this.

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...

Was it getting education out of the top agitator
I went to a site that helped me diagnose the potential problems with my washer. It was the dogs that had gone bad and we're no longer gripping the upper agitator. Socket set to go in and undo the bulb the holes the upper agitator in place. You just remove the assembly that holds the dogs and I used a new washer that goes in between the upper agitator and the lower agitator. Save beaucoup bucks and it's sort of empowering for a non mechanical person. The website scared me right to you guys. And I also bought another order we can involve the upper agitator and an extra set of those dogs. Awesome company! Customer service is incredible!

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

Agitator began skipping and not moving through part of turn
Remove dispenser and barrier cap by hand to access cam assembly. Unbolted agitator assembly and pulled up firmly.
Able to access and replace cams. Before pulling out note how assembled and make sure to put back exactly the same. Singe person using this machine for 8 years. Poor design or quality of cams to fail so soon. Family of 5 would have been through this in a few years. For only 15 dollars definitely worthwhile repair. Parts arrived in days.
