At first I had to position the washer so I could get access.. after having it positioned, I figured it out. Getting the clamp fastened, I was done.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Loud Banging Sound At The End Of Spin Cycle
First I removed the two screws on the back of the control console( at the bottom, phillips head). Flip that up and out of the way. Then you could remove the 2 big clips that hold the back of the washer to the cabinet. Disconnect the lid switch and flip the cabinet forward and out of the way. Remember when putting the cabinet back on, line up the slots on the bottom of the cabinet with the toungues on the base. Next pull off the fabric softner dispenser, then reach down in there and pull out the bottom seal of that to expose the bolt that hold the agitator on. Remove that bolt and pull off the agitator. Remove that little clip and the plastic piece above the spanner nut. I didn't have a spanner wrench so I hade to use a small extension from my socket set and a hammer to loosen it. Once that is removed then you could remove the ring around the top of the tub, and pull the tub off. Now you could see the block and probably all the metal shavings it's been creating. If the two ears that stick up and fit in to the block are worn, you should replace that too. I think you hve to replace that from the bottom. Now just put it all back together. Print out the exploded diagram from the web sit so you have it right there. Good luck!

Agitator Not Rotating
Eveything went great. I oldered the part on Sunday evening...received shipping notification on Monday... part arrived Tuesday. Wow! I must say, I am not an appliance repair technician. The job was easy...real easy! I lifted off the softner reservoir...losened a bolt...removed the old agitator...installed the new agitator...tightened the bolt....put the softner reservoir back on....job done. I certainly will buy from this site again. Thanks PartSelect and Staff...Outstanding Service (5 Star)!

Clothes were not coming out as clean as they were previously.
I first removed the softener container by simply pulling it up & out. Secondly, I removed the 7/16" bolt that held the agitator in-place & again, simply pulled the agitator up & out. Then I placed the new agitator in, replaced the 7/16" bolt and the softener container - job complete (that simple).

Agitator would not work properly
Removed the fabric softener dispenser that is on top of the agitator. Used a socket set with a long extension to remove the bolt that holds the agitator to the shaft. The agitator lifts straight up off of the shaft. Really easy.
