How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4026932 / 22001821 Washer Agitator Assembly With Auger And Base

Removed old agitator, took 20 seconds, installed new one, again 20 seconds. One small bolt. it took one small socket set very simple. Delivery was less than one day. I was very pleased . 

Took less than 5 minutes to change out the agitator. It was held on by a single screw. 

Had to replace the entire agitator and base unit. One screw secured the whole unit to the shaft. I unscrewed the agitator, slipped the new one on, tightened screw and it was back to full operation. 

Ordered a new one ,the part was shipped the same day I ordered it, I came home from work the next day and the part was here.I unscrewed the old one, put the new one on, tightened the lock screw and was done. It took all of 10 minutes, and I was able to start doing was again. I picked standard shipping at the checkout and received the part the next day, great service and will be using appliance parts pros from now on, thank you! 

Gunk a real pain to completely remove. Replaced agitator. 

Replaced agitator, one screw, piece of cake. One 1/4" socket for the secure screw, so easy anyone could do it. 

It was easy. 1/4 inch stainless nut on side had to be loosened on the old unit, pull up agitator and put new in, tightened and done. Perhaps 5 mins if the cat was not walking on me. Just make sure to use a GOOD 1/4 inch nut driver, not a cheap one. It helps to screw in the set-nut once before trying to do this down in the washer tub. Be sure it goes all the way without over-tightening. It just has to bottom on out, don't strip it. strip it. it goes into grove and does not hit the agitator shaft. Just has to hold it in place. 

Replaced agitator-auger assembly & added new softener cup just because it was old. 

Installed a new one.
