How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP3094520 / 285748 Long Cam Agitator Repair Kit

Disassembled the machine and replaced the defective parts. 

With the help of the videos.... really made it easy and much better than the book----(which Shawn also got for me, and I can refer to if I cant access "Matt" on the video)....took all of 15 minutes once I had everything ready as the video said...and it worked just like he said Yea!!!! He made it so simple, my cat could've done it if she had hands... 

Using the kit and watching the video made this fix a breeze. Loved it and it worked just as it was shown. 

I have a 25 year old Kenmore washer that works well and didn't want to get a new washer as they don't make them like they used to. Upon removing the top cap of the agitator and doing an inspection, the agitator dogs were completely broken into pieces. Due to age we decided to replace the lower and upper agitator along with the agitator auger dogs repair kit. All new parts and works fine. On inspection of old parts, we probably could have gotten away with just a $5 repair for the plastic dogs in the auger, instead of the $131 dollar repair for all of the additional parts, but I guess there is something to be said for peace of mind. The teeth in the auger were showing some wear. AppliancePartsPros.com had the best price and shipping was fast. 

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. 

We (my wife and I) didn't realize that the washer was not agitating because we would load the washer, close the lid and walk away. So the washer sounded like it was working fine, going through all the cycles and all, but then noticed the laundry was smelling funky 'cause it was not agitating. I viewed a video on You Tube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KNJwyWZqFc ) to see how to find the problem and fix it. Ordered the parts needed to do the job. Order arrived sooner then expected as I was gonna take care of this when I returned from a golf trip and my wife was not happy! I was able to get the washer up and running by replacing the dogs, cam and bolt within 10 minutes of receiving my order. My wife did not have to drive to the laundromat (while I was golfing) and the washer works like new now. Very easy job and the price was right! 

Ordered the lower agitator, cam kit and replacement bolt... 

After checking your site and seeing your videos I ordered the parts and felt confident that I could do it myself. I was right, although there was a few difference in models and putting the motor back was problematic (snapping the clamps on top and bottom) I was able to figure out a solution. By the way, placing the top clamp on the washer motor first then placing an object between the bottom clamp (while aligned to the motor) and the floor you can push the motor onto the clamp instead of the clamp to the motor. 

With a agitator cam kit.
