Wayne for Model Number LSQ9010LWO
Answer Wayne, You'll need more than just the "dogs" The agitator is hard to remove, because the cams spacers and washers have seized together, due to excess friction. If you can't "break" the clothes mover and thrust washer loose from the agitator bottom, you'll need to consider a new agitator 3951744 If you do break things loose, you'd want to use the cam repair kit 285809, washer 3951608
The agitator for this model.
Thanks.

Answer Hello Carlos. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
Agitation is slight, not much motion on "regular cycle", a little better on "heavy duty". Also noisy when going from "fill" to "wash" or to "spin". Unit is about eight years old, not sure if worth fixing or replacing. Thanks!

Answer Hello Pete,
It sounds like the agitator dogs on unit are bad and would need to be replaced. As far as the noise, it could be any number of things. Could be something in the pump causing noise. Could be something stuck in between the tubs. Could be the agitator rattling around.
I purchased the agitator kit. Now I am trying to remove the agitator. Removed the dispenser and the dust cap. Looking into the center, there is no center bolt. How do I remove the agitator?
Jc for Model Number 11022952100
Answer Hello JC,
When you take the cover off the agitator you should see the agitator dogs. There is a center cam lock that needs to be removed which is in the center of the cam 285825. Remove it and lift agitator out.
I have a problem with clothes covered in lint. Is there any filter I can fit to the washing machine? Bruce
Bruce G. for Model Number 6ALSR7244MW3
Answer Hello Bruce,
According to the manufacturers, two things cause excessive lint. These are over soaping and washing the clothes too long. I suppose I need to make you aware of a couple of little known facts to clarify.
First off, the bubbles don't wash the clothes. If the3 bubbles washed the clothes, the clothes would have to come up out of the water to get the bubbles on them since the bubbles float on top of the water. The bubbles are added to the detergent so the customer will know that soap has been added. You see, the detergent doesn't suds at all. The cleaning is actually done by the utilization of a chemical reaction that is temperature activated. Water below 70°F produces no chemical reaction at all. From 70°F to 80°F, a light chemical reaction is produced. From 80°F to 90°F, a stronger chemical reaction is produced. From 90°F and up, the strongest chemical reaction possible is produced. If too much detergent is added, too much chemical reaction is produced and there isn't enough soil particles to occupy it. This leaves chemical reaction free to actually attack the fabric, producing lint, (wear from the fabric).
The second thing is the agitation time. Especially if the unit was over soaped, agitation time will wear the fabric and produce lint. The newer the machine, the stronger the agitation. For this reason, if an old machine is replaced with a new one, the customer has to be made aware of this fact to prevent washing their clothes to death. You see, in an effort to reduce energy consumption, the manufacturers increased the strength of the agitation so the same wash results can be achieved in a shorter time, thus reducing the amount of time the unit is consuming energy.
There are no filters available for the washer since the small amount of lint that should be produced is pumped out with the drain water. An excessive amount of lint is an indication that the customer hasn't adjusted the use of the machine and detergent to accommodate a proper wash result.

Answer Hello Robert,
Unless you get lucky and find a UPC tag on the back of the unit, the only way to get the model number is off of this I.D. tag. Sometimes, the selling dealership will keep a record, but this isn't always the most dependable way to order parts since one character different will change the required parts for the model.
