Danny December 09, 2020 for Model Number Glwn2800d2ws My machine has agitator wh43x10034, which is a very bad design.this is the 4th time I have replaced because of broken fins. Can I use wh43x10033 instead of 34. If not what is the difference In the agitators. Your video shows two different types. Thank you
1 Answer Danny, While we do not have the exact differences between these parts, the biggest thing I see is the WH43X10034 appears to accept a fabric softener cup as to where the WH43X10033 does not. The fins should not break off the agitator and the only way that this would most likely occur is maybe if the unit is being overloaded. Read More...
Helen Paris October 06, 2019 for Model Number WCSR2080B2WW I asked how to install the new agitator and new coupling- they are attached and it was suggested I watch a video - I did, the video made sense, but the bolt kept falling out when I turned the agitator kit over to put it in place - I am using a 3/8 inch opening (10 inch length) extender - Is this incorrect? Am I supposed to have a 7/16 inch extender? I called to chat yesterday and the lady told me to take a hangar and pull off the coupler from the new agitator - I don't believe that is a smart move - so I am awaiting a better answer. Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Helen, The coupler that the agitator sits on will not get screwed in from the top of the agitator. The coupler will go on first and bolt down then you would push down on the agitator over the coupler to lock it in place. Read More...
Helen October 04, 2019 for Model Number GE Model WCSR2080B2WW I just purchased a new agitator and a new coupling for my machine; however, when the parts came the coupling was attached at the bottom of the agitator and If I try slipping it over the semi long screw that is in the base of the machine I will not be able to turn the new screw because it is too far down and my hand and tool will not fit. If I use the coupler kit, I have a different problem, I cannot dislodge the coupler that is already attached to the agitator. What do I do?
1 Answer Helen, the agitator is designed so that the bolt goes through both the agitator and coupling. A socket extension is going to be the easiest way to install this part. A video can be found at the following link https://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-agitator-assembly-wh43x10033-ap3995147.html and is just under the main image. This video can be utilized as a reference to assist with this repair. Read More...
Mom May 09, 2019 for Model Number Gtw680bsjws Is there a retro fit agitator that i can change to instead of the flat no agitator?
1 Answer don, It is normal to have a small amount of play in it. Not quarter turns or half turns but a little play is normal. If there is more play then you would need to check the splines on the agitator for damage. Read More...
Frank May 27, 2018 for Model Number HSWP1000M3WW Is there another Agitator I can use for this washer? I have replaced it 2 times, clothes keep getting stuck in paddles and bend them. I think it's a poor designe.
1 Answer Frank, Unfortunately there would be no other agitator that would work for this unit and it sounds like the unit is being overloaded which would cause this issue. Read More...
Bob May 13, 2018 for Model Number PTWN6050M0WT Why is the screw that holds the agitator in place always wearing out? I have replaced it twice so far and just placed an order for additional screws. Is common for this model machine, if not what may cause it to strip out?
1 Answer Bob, It would not be normal for the screw to strip out unless it is being overtightened. It is possible that unit is being overloaded causing the screw to strip out. If the screw just backs out then try and add Loctite to the threading. Read More...
Jill April 10, 2018 What is wrong when the agitator makes very loud noises when turning back and forth?

Jackie B March 05, 2018 for Model Number GTW485ASJ1WS We are trying to replace the agitator base on our 2016 GE top loader washer. We removed the softener piece and now there is a cap that we are unable to get off. Is this cap glued on? How do we get if off? Does this model machine have a bolt holding on the agitator or will it come out by pulling it out? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Jackie. At the bottom of the top section of the agitator is a hole, You have to line it up and insert a screwdriver into the hole and twist the top of the agitator off the bottom section of the agitator. The hole for the screwdriver to go into is on the bottom of the top section of agitator. Thank you. Read More...
