Replaced the agitator dogs and their containment cage. I also replaced the "thrust bearing" between the upper and lower agitator sections. Took a 7/16 socket and long extension and about five minutes - a quick fix! We bought good Sears Kenmore appliances in 1992 when we bought this house, and with the help of APP, I've been able to keep them ALL running and performing perfectly - through a house restoration, raising three kids, and four dogs. Upstairs and downstairs washer and gas dryers, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, small gas stove, gas range, electric double oven - all from 1992 - all in use today.
