How hard are they to replace?

Isaac for Model Number 110.29812890

Answer Hello Isaac! The agitator dogs 80040 should not be that hard to replace. You can remove the center bolt down in the agitator, the agitator will then lift up. Separate the upper and lower agitator (this will need some force). Once separated you can tip the upper portion over and the dogs should just fall out. Place the new agitator dogs in the slots. Good Luck!

This is the correct model I have. I push down slightly on the agitator and it will work. Will this fix the problem do you think. Thanks, Robert

Answer This is the correct part number to the agitator dogs for the listed model. If the top half only is not working, this should correct the issue. The agitator dogs also come available in the agitator repair kit 8537433.

I do not see a bolt in the agitator, Do you use a half inch drive to remove the center of the agitator to get to the dogs. Thanks

J. R. for Model Number 110.20702 990

Answer Hello J.R. According to the model number you provided, there should be a bolt. However, there were some models where you would need to use a half inch driver to remove the agitator. If that is the kind in your washer, then you will need the half inch driver to remove it. Hope this helps.

I noticed the washer was not agitating properly and when i removed the dust cap i could see the dogs were not just worn but completely shattered into chunks. I ordered them and when i removed and broke apart the agitator, I was surprised to discover that the existing agitator cam that holds the dogs did not have any round retainer to hold the dogs in place. In the parts diagram for my washer it looks like there should be a retainer ring. I put the new dogs in and was able to reassemble the agitator by doing it upside down so the new dogs wouldn't fall out. When I reassembled and tested the machine it works much better when the agitator is on the high speed of the initial wash but still was only working sporadically in the slower agitation speed until I pressed down on it and then it seemed to start working better at the slow speed. I removed the cover to check it again and saw the inner lid with o-ring had popped itself off. there is a fair amount of sid-to-side play in the upper agitator. Does all this tell you anything? Should I be replacing more parts? I did not see a repair kit listed in the parts list for this model.

John S for Model Number 110.88752793

Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like you need to order and replace the whole cam kit 285751. This model does not use the retainer ring, but if the cam is worn and loose, it will need to be replaced.
