Agitator would not turn.
Went to website and found question to what problem i was having with washer and they gave me a list of parts to fix it. The video that showed me how to change the parts was very helpful. I replaced the Agitator Cam Kit and the thrust washer. It was very easy to do and watching the video before i started helped.

Agitator didn't move
Inserted a straight slot screwdriver into the small opening between the Fabric Softener Dispenser and the Agitator Assembly. Twisting the screwdriver slightly, causes the dispenser to separate from the agitator exposing a 7/8" bolt. Using the proper socket, removing the bolt allows for the removal of the complete agitator assembly. Reverse this process to install the new complete agitator assembly.

the top section of the agitator would not turn
First I came to this web site and discovered some directions from other customers. I then followed those directions to disassemble the agitator. I removed the softener cup by pulling up on the blue plastic retention ring. I then used a flat head screwdriver to remove the plastic cap by placing the screwdriver into the slot on the side and prying it off. Next I used a 3/8 socket and extension to remove the bolt which holds the agitator to the shaft. After the bolt was removed I pulled up on the agitator and removed it from the washing machine. To remove the upper section of the agitator, I placed it on the ground and holding the base with my feet, I pulled on the upper section. I then removed the dog ears, verifyed the problem and ordered the parts (dog ears). The parts arrived in less time than promised, were installed in about 5 minutes and I was back to doing laundry. When you reassemble the agitator, turn it upside down to install the dog ears so they do not fall out.

Top part of agitator not working
I used a nut driver to remove the screw that held the to part of the agitator onto the bottom part. I then took out the worn out directional cogs and replaced them with new ones and re-assembled the agitator and was back in business. The agitator now works the way it should. Easy fix. The only negative part of this experience was that the shipping was twice as expensive as what the parts cost. Very fast shipping from PARTS SELECT .
