David I Heathsville , VA September 04, 2019 Appliance: Whirlpool Stackable Washer Dryer LTE5243DQA Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Lte5243dqa: Broken upper section of our Whirlpool agitator also known as a filter. How to replace Agitator Cap. Simply lift up the old filter and cap and discard it. The new assembly simply pushes down and on to the agitator base. It stays in place by clicking over a raised perimeter rib on the base. This is the easiest repair (short of screwing in a light bulb) that one could do. The hardest part was to identify which parts I needed to purchase. The parts associate at Appliance Pros was terrific in tracking down what was needed. 5 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
