Beezy August 26, 2017 for Model Number LSR5100KQ0 I recently replaced my drive block on my whirpool washing machine. I have everything put back in place almost up until it comes time to put the agitator back in. The bolt that holds it in now just spins and spins..refusing to tighten in place. When i remove the agitator though the bolt will screw right in place below in to the spanner nut?? Not sure if im saying the right part on that sorry...the part i had to remove with spanner wrench. Either way im completely lost as to why this portion of the repair is so difficult. I took great care taking it all apart so nothing should be broken at this point. What am i missing??? Thanks in advance for any help! Desperate to get our washer back up and running!
1 Answer Beezy, You will want to make sure that the agitator is being pushed all the way down to the top of the shaft. If it is then it should screw down into the shaft. It sounds like you are not getting the part all the way down. Read More...

1 Answer Linda, This issue may be that you got an improper bolt. If you are needing the agitator bolt then you will need part number [AP5144BQ1]. Read More...
Laundri L July 21, 2017 for Model Number LAT2300AAE and LAV3600AWW The top portion of washing machine agitator floats up and is not secured to the bottom portion. I feel I just need the rubber securing ring and the little thread-bolts not the entire assembly to secure them together again, the large pieces are in great condition, the rubber thread bolt got loose and I threw it out when I found it in my laundry weeks ago, before I noticed the problem. Is it possible to purchase just these small pieces or fix it without buying the unnecessary parts? So far I've been able to push it back down and of course the lid keeps it from escaping the washtub. I've not had a problem with clothes not getting clean or any odd noises. Am I missing something? Does anyone know a "fix" for this. Yes, this Is the 2nd model of Maytag washing machines this has happened to for me.
1 Answer Laundri, In order to get the agitator top to stay in place the agitator itself would need to be replaced. There is not a rubber washer kit for this. The part number for the agitator is 22001821. Read More...

Robert Scott March 10, 2017 for Model Number TAWS850PQ0 I see where I need to drill out the agitator bolt. Could you please tell me the size of the bolt so that I do not use a bit that is too large?
1 Answer Robert, If you're going to drill out the bolt, you'll only need a 1/4 " or 3/8" drill bit, Of course you need to start with smaller bits and work your way up the the proper size bit to remove the bolt head. Read More...
Robert Scott March 10, 2017 for Model Number TAWS850PQ0 I need to get the old agitator bolt out and the head of the bold is rusted to the point that I can not hold a socket down on it. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Robert, you may want to try a small amount of penetrating oil or "rust buster" applied to the bolt head, let it soak a while, then use the 7/16" socket and extension. You may need to use a small block of wood, and small hammer to "tap" the socket down enough to get a proper "purchase" fit on the bolt to loosen and remove it. Otherwise you'll need to chisel or cut out the agitator cam and dogs, so you can remove the upper agitator then remove the bolt using a wrench and a pair of pliers to hold the agitator shaft in position.

Jeremiah February 16, 2017 My washer agitator isn't pulling clothes like it's supposed to. I watched some videos on what the problem could be. I tried removing agitator but I can't get the bolt out. The bolt turns but never loosens or backs out to allow me to remover the agitator.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Adam January 16, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool cabrio top loader. Wtw5700xw3 Machine works great other than it just started making a loud click every time the agitator plate switches directions. It was only doing it with a big load but now even does it with afresh cycle.
1 Answer Hello Adam, There is either something between the tubs or the driven hub W10528947 is stripping. Read More...
