Tobe B Northfield , MN January 08, 2017 Appliance: General Electric Washer WHRE5550K2WW Detached agitator (infusor) on ge model whre5550k2ww The screw that holds the agitator in place appeared to have worn and rusty threads. I tried to replace it with a standard hardware store 1/4-20 hex head screw but that wouldn't grip. I had thoughts of needing to tap the hole,but eventually bought the specified screw, which is a specialist. It has tapered threads, a shoulder, rubber bushings, an attached washer and a hex head. I spent a lot of time trying other things but when the real part arrived it only took a few minutes to set it in place. BTW -- I never found a write-up anywhere on this specific issue.

Steve W Riverside , CA August 29, 2021 Appliance: General Electric Washer WHRE5550K2WW This was a GE washer that made a distressing grinding/scraping sound during the wash cycle, the other cycles were not affected I ordered three parts from Appliance Parts Pros, a new agitator, coupling pulsator, (the column that the agitator sits on) and the screw to fasten the agitator down (total cost about $100). The old parts were removed, examined and cleaned. They were still functioning, so they were put back in place until the new ones arrived. Upon arrival, the new parts were installed and the machine went back into action with no unusual sound at all. The most difficult part was removing and cleaning the fabric softener cup that sits on top of the agitator (I used the handle ends of a pair of pliers) and removing the old coupling post which was stuck fast in place because of solidified detergent. With advice from the Appliance phone techs, I was able to loosen the post by running hot water around and through the column. For virtually every question I asked, the techs had an immediate answer and should be highly commended!
