in the cap there is a clicker to stop you over tightening the cap if this goes as it been turned around and blunt its cogs the cap will not come off, you need to get a blade of a large flat screwdriver and try and get it in the gap between the cap and tank top and twist and turn the cap at same time.

Follow these detailed step-by-step instructions to help you locate and replace your Kenmore worn agitator cogs:

1. Before you begin this or any other repair, disconnect the power supply to your washing machine. Either unplug the unit from the wall outlet, trip the appropriate switch in your fuse panel, or remove the correct fuse from your home's fuse box.
2. Raise the lid of your washing machine, and if your model uses a fabric softener dispenser, remove it from the top of the agitator by pulling it straight up and off.
3. Pry off the agitator's cap (if there is one) by wedging a small flat head screwdriver into the slot between the agitator and the cap.
4. Reach into the agitator top and pull up on the barrier cap and its seal (also called a gasket) to remove them.
5. Use a socket wrench with an extension or a nut driver to remove the stud and the seal that hold the agitator top to the shaft of the agitator base.
6. Remove the agitator top by pulling it up off the agitator base. Turn the agitator top over, enabling the cam and the worn directional cogs to slide out. Examine the cam for wear, it also may need replacing.
7. Attach each of the new directional cogs to the cam. The small round piece at the base of each 'ear' is fitted into one of the cam's four slots. Your model may or may not make use of a black plastic agitator cam bearing. This cam bearing is used to help hold the cogs in place. If your model uses one, make sure you put it back on during the reassembly process.
8. Carefully insert the cam and new directional cogs into the agitator top the same way they came out. Place the agitator top over the agitator base. There are tabs on the top of the agitator base that line up with, and fit into, the slots of the cam.
9. If the cogs fall out of place during re-assembly, you will have to take the cam out of the agitator top again and re-insert the cogs.
10. Push down on the cam until its slots and the base's tabs snap together.
11. Insert the stud and seal into the shaft and use your wrench or nut driver to tighten.
12. Make sure the black rubber gasket (seal) is situated properly in the groove of the barrier cap. Then push the barrier cap and seal down into the agitator past the holes.
13. Replace the agitator's cap or fabric dispenser, whichever your model uses.
14. Close the lid of your washing machine. Reconnect the power supply and test the machine to make sure it is working properly.

That should do the job for You. Hope this was helpful

This is calle dthe check engine light , this light comes on when the computer sees a problem, the computer stores a code in its memory, you can go to alot of autopart stores most of them will scan the computer for free and get the codes with a scan tool the code will tell you what is failing, for example it may be as simple as a loose gas cap. check and see if the gas cap is loose, if the cap is loose then tighten it and drive car for a week the light will reset if that was the problem, the computer is always testing all systems and if it was the cap the fuel system will pass the test and the light will go out if its not a loose cap then have it scanned, the code will tell you, for example lets say the code is po532, b1 o2 sensor heater, this would mean the front oyxgen sensor heater is bad, or that the connection to sensor is bad, hope this helps good luck.

Take off belt cover on the left side of the top cover, turn cleaner over, take out screw from red lock and remove, pull cap and brush roll out, unhook the cogged belt, then you can replace the pump belt thru that opening. Put belt over the pump pulley and stretched to go over the motor shaft. Then check the cogged belt and the cogged end of the pully to make sure that there are cogs, replace belt if there are cogss missing or belt is broke, if no cogs on the pulley, then you will have to replace the pump. Pulley only comes witht he pump.

Check the belts, there ia cogged belt that drives the brush roll. Turn the unit over, take out the one screw holding the red lock, pull that off then the cap for the brush roll will pull out, remove the cap and check the belt, also check the pulley on the end of the pump to make sure that it still has cogs on. If there are no cogs, then you will have to replace the pump. While you have the brush roll out, make sure the it looks ok on the end and not melted. This would also be a good time to replace the **** belt if it needs it.

I am assuming this had a flat and a cogged belt, if not then provide the model number.

First take off the cover on the left side oif the top cover, then turn it over, remove the screw holding the red lock and pull the cap and brush roll out, remove the cap, remove the cogged belt, then you can put the new pump belt thru that slot, put over the pulley on the pump and then stretch it to go over the motor shaft. Then put back together.
