My husband had no problem putting the new agiator together, took old one out and put the new one in, works like a charm.

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

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

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.

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

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).

simply take the old agitater out and put the new one in. agitates great now.

I watched a video online to see how to take it apart, what size socket wrench to use, etc. Very simple. Once I had it apart, there was a problem with the agitator itself coming apart into pieces. I realized that I was going to need the whole agitator rather than just the dog ears. So I ordered it and had it installed very quickly and easily.

Removed the Softner cup, then removed the water cover from inside the agitator, removed the bolt that holds the agitator down to the stem, removed the old part and reinstalled the new parts looking at the parts list provided.

Removed the fabric softner at the top of the agitator (needed a screw driver to pry it loose) and reached in to grab the barrier with my hand and pulled it out, very simple to do.When I put the new one in I put some liquid soap on the gasket and it snapped right into place.Very easy to do, all is well now, thanks Part Select.

I removed the old agitator, cleaned any debis and placed the new part over the spindle. I tightened the nut and placed the separator part and the fabric dispensor on the new part and all was complete. After viewing the video I was expecting to have to assemble the ratchet part but the agitator came with that assembly already assembled and in place. The part shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition.
