Agitator would not agitate properly
I also ordered a new agitator repair kit which had almost everything. I noticed that I the kit had shorted 3 of the 4 cogs. Once the missing parts were received I removed the agitator bolt from the middle of the agitiator with a rachet and socket. Amazingly, I read the instructions and followed them accordingly. I pulled removed the agitator and removed the dogs/cogs and placed the new one in the new dogs *Making "dog gone" (pun intended) sure they were facing the correct way, by comparing them to the instructions. I carefully seated them as per the illustrations on the instructions and replaced the center bolt in. placed the cap on top and started the washer. Then I had my cup of coffee. By the way..I'm a grandmother, so if I can do it.............!

Top partion of agitator turned in both directions by hand and was not driven by the motor.
Using the IPB I removed the upper assembly to gain access to the cogs. Turned the assembly over and incerted the new parts and reassembled the pieces in reverse order.

Washer drum banging on spin cycle
Very simple repair with the kit. Old rods came out easily using vise grips locked on to rods about 10-12 inches down and pulling up. Had doubts if they were bad since everything looked good but drum bounced back several times when I shoved it down to test it earlier. New rods went in just as easy and replaced in less than 30 min. Hardest part was that I had very cramped laundry room so had to move and disconnect hoses etc. to move into larger space for repair and then move back to reconnect. Parts came quickly within about 3 days and now purrs like a kitten!

Agitator was not turning properly; soap left on clothes. The teeth on the agitator dogs were worn off.
Gently pry top of agitator off with small flat-blade screwdriver. Using the square end of a 1/2-inch socket extension, unscrew the plastic center "nut." Lift agitator off, remove center cone that holds the dogs, slip the retainer ring off, remove the worn dogs and replace. (Great opportunity clean the soap scum off the agitator!) Reverse the process to complete the repair.

Agitator wouldn't turn when washing clothes.
Removed fabric softener dispenser. Inserted medium flathead screwdriver into slot on side of cover that is on agitator and pried off. Used socket wrench, socket and extension to unscrew bolt inside agitator. Lifted out and slid off plastic ring holding agitator cogs (cogs will fall right out so make sure you check to see how they're in). Replaced cogs in the same direction they came out. Very simple!!

Top part of agitator quit agitating in one direction.
First, I removed the (3) piece softener cup from the top of the agitator.
Then I removed the bolt from inside the top of the agitator.
The agitator drive assembly lifts out of the lower agitator.
A flanged plastic snap ring holds the (4) drive dogs into the drive assembly.
Use a small screwdriver to remove the snap ring.
Replace the (4) drive dogs, and reassemble in reverse order.
As far as repairs go, this one is really easy.

Agitator stopped turning with a load in it.
Pulled cap off top of agitator, loosened bolt down in center of assembly and pulled collar up with pliers.
Removed old dog ears and replaced. Need to be extra careful on direction of dog ears.
Very simple; even a cave man could do it!
