Asked by Jennie for Model LA5550XPW7


Hello Jennie, From you description, the hole in the bottom of the lint filter AP2906586 is widened so the bolt comes through it. The cap, as you stated is missing, is part number AP3019861. These sound like all you need to get you fixed up unless the lint filter was incorrectly installed to begin with. Try taking the bolt out and dropping it into the lint filter and see if the bolt will hold it in place. If so all you need is the cap.

Mercy, Presumably, you mean the agitator bolt AP3046456 . You would use a 7/16 in socket and wrench with an extension, and turn the bolt head counter clockwise.Based on your description, it sounds like it is "stripped" You may want to try using a pair of "VISE GRIP" pliers, lock them onto the bolt head and pullup and turn at the same time, until you get past the "stripped threads of the bolt, then continue with the socket wrench. Otherwise, you'll need to drill or cut the bolt and remove the remainder, after you get the agitator out. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Hanne, The second cap pulls straight out. I grab the "strip" with pliers and pull it straight out.

Asked by Hanne for Model LLR8322BWO


Hello Hanne. You may need to use a flat blade putty or butter knife to go between the agitator cap AP3019861 and the agitator to remove it. It just pops off the agitator. Then check and see if the cams are making the grinding noise by turning the agitator by hand. If so, AP3138838 is the correct kit for the unit. Hope this helps.

The cam is the white "tower" looking part in the photo. Medium cam kit (this page) is the most popular and is about 2-1/4 inches. There is also a long cam agitator kit AP3094520 and short cam agitator kit AP3094543. You can measure the old cam or enter your model number at http://www.appliancepartspros.com and we'll tell you exactly which one you need.

Hello. Removing the agitator: 1. Raise the lid. 2. Pull the liquid fabric softener dispenser up (if used), to remove it from the top of the agitator. 3. Insert a small screwdriver in the slot between the agitator and cap and pry the cap off the agitator. 4. Reach in and remove the barrier cap and gasket by pulling up. 5. Using a socket wrench (with extension) or nutdriver, remove the stud and seal which holds the agitator to the shaft. 6. Remove the agitator mover by pulling this up off the agitator. 7. Turn this agitator mover over so the camp and clutch dogs (4 pieces) slide out. 8. Carefully remove the round rubber seal off the top of the agitator. 9. Carefully remove the agitator by lifting straight up. 10. Inspect the agitator shaft for worn grooves or rust. If the shaft is bad (rare), either call an appliance repair company to repair this or replace the complete gearcase yourself. Installing the agitator and cam kit AP3138838: 1. Place the new agitator on the shaft. 2. Rotate the agitator until the grooves in the agitator match the grooves on the shaft, and push the agitator down. 3. Place the new round rubber seal in the groove on top of the agitator. 4. Hold the new camp upside down. 5. Place the small round part of the new clutch dog (4 pieces) in the slot on the cam. 6. Do the same thing to the other three (3) clutch dogs. 7. Turn the agitator mover over and carefully insert the cam and dogs, up into the agitator mover until the camp stops. 8. Carefully turn the agitator mover upright. Note: The cam has a cutout and tabs across from each other. The agitator has tabs across from each other. These must line up in order for the came to slide down on the agitator. 9. Place the agitator mover, cam, and dogs over the agitator while lining up the tabs. Note: If the dog(s) falls out of the slots(s) in the cam you will have to repeat steps 4-9. 10. Push the cam down until the tabs snap together. 11. Push the new auger agitator on the shaft. 12. Rotate the agitator until the grooves in the agitator match the grooves on the shaft, and push the agitator down. 13. Using the socket wrench (with an extension) or nutdriver, insert the stud and seal through the agitator, into the shaft, and tighten. 14. Be sure the round gasket is in the groove in the barrier cap. Note: The barrier cap must be pushed down past the holes in the mover, so the liquid from the dispenser can flow out of the holes. 15. Push the barrier cap and gasket all the way down into the agitator mover. 16. Press down on the liquid fabric softener dispenser or cap, which ever you have, until it is all the way down on the agitator. 17. Close the lid. Hope this helps.
