4GWTW3000FW0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Purchased complete agitator for ease of repair. Part came ready to remove broken agitator and replace with new agitator. Pull off top fabric soft dispenser, pull out filer at bottom of dispenser, remove 7/16" bolt from center, pull off complete agitator and replace with new agitator and replace 7/16" bolt, filter and top dispenser.

Removed the nut in center of agitator, removed agitator, installed new agitator. Extremely easy repair.

First I removed the nut holding the agitator assembly and replace it with the new one. It was a simple process and now my washer works like new.

The 5 minutes installion required a 1/2 inch socket with an extensin bar to remove 1 screw.

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.

remove fabric softener cap, lift off protective cap by handle to expose nut securing agitator assembly, use socket wrench with extension to remove nut, lift out old assembly (remove broken parts that fell off during removal. Drop new assembly in place secure with nut, replace cap and dispenser

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!

replaced complete agitator to be on the safe side. Cheap enough fix.

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)!

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).

Having never worked on a washer but not wanting to buy a new one I did what any DIY'er would do. I took it apart and luckily found the problem. I ordered the agitator and the part arrived two days as I paid for one day shipping (it was a holiday weekend). I had the part installed within 10 minutes and immediately began washing my clothes. Thanks.

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.

Took old agitator off put replacement on with ease.... washer is operating well now.

Removed the fabric softener dispenser, removed the internal cover which exposed the nut, removed it and did the reverse with the replacement piece. Saved $800+ on a new one, now I get to buy a bigger TV! Wife is happy, that's all that matters!

It was so simple to replace, all I had to do was unscrew one bolt and then pull the agitator out and put the new one back in and bolt in the one bolt. It tokk me five minutes.
