Agitator appers to be striped out.... Cannot figure out how to remove agitator to see if needs replaced..

Answer This Question
  • birchfarm Feb 03, 2008

    I have the same problem but I don't see a bolt under the cover of the agitator (I have removed the cover and the seal and I see a plastic piece centered on what appears similar to the head of a nail.)


    My agitator acts like it is partially stripped. With a heavy load the agitator makes a sound like plastic gears are rubbing and won't turn.  When I run a light load, the agitator catches and moves - most of the time, but seems to slip once in a while.  I can cause the same thing when turning it by hand.  Anyway, it sounds like the mechanism needs replacing and I just haven't been able to figure out how to remove it.

On some you won’t see a bolt but if you look at it the white plastic that looks to have a stud in the middle is square and that is the nut you can use a 1/2" extension and ratchet to unscrew it then remove then agitator

How do I remove clothes from under agitator?
Believe it or not the agitator will come off. Look under the fabric softener cup. There should be a fastener (nut or bolt) to loosten. Give the cup a good cleaning while you have it off.
Once the nut is removed you can work the agitator off.

How remove agitator cup to replace dogears on a kenmore elite washing machine
This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/index.action

Enter your model number (###.######) and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

If the bottom agitates and not the top, the problem is likely the 4 "agitator dogs" designed to allow the top agitator to turn only one way.

Look at the section on the Sears site for Agitator, basket and tub.

See the part "Dog, agitator "

Remove the fabric softener unit, lift the top agitator cap (use a screwdriver) and you should see a plastic part in the center of the top agitator with a 1/2" square drive.

Remove the drive and lift off the top agitator. Turning it over you should see the 4 "dogs", replace these and the top agitator should turn in one direction only.

Replace the 1/2" drive, the cap and fabric softener unit and the top agitator should work.

Also see the following illustrated description of the above.

How do i remove the agitator to remove a tangled drawstring
Hi,
To remove the agitator you need to unscrew the cap on top of the agitator. With the cap off, pull straight up on the agitator; it should lift off. If it doesn't move, rap its side with a hammer. If it still won't lift off, drive wedges under the bottom rim of the agitator to dislodge it. Then set the new agitator if you want and replace the agitator cap.

Note: Damage to the snubbed, a pad like device sometimes located under the agitator cap, can cause the machine to vibrate excessively. Check to see if wet laundry is wadded around the bottom of the tub shaft, or under the basket or agitator assembly. Remove the basket or agitator in order to remove the laundry easily.
Let us know if you want any further clarification.
Thanks for contacting fixya.com
