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.
