This complete agitator assembly includes the auger (upper portion) and base (lower portion) that work together to move clothes through the wash water in a top-load washer. The base sweeps clothes outward while the auger spirals them downward, creating thorough cleaning action. Replace this assembly if clothes are not getting clean, the agitator wobbles excessively, or the auger no longer ratchets and moves independently from the base.

Hello Debbie. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the tub bearing 6-2040130 and the stem kit 6-2095720 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps.

Renae S. for Model Number maytag washer lat8606aae

The agitator my maytag washer lat8606aae has horrible smelling scum inside it. I assume the only way I can clean this would be to take the assembly out by removing the 1/4 hex bolt. Which direction removes the bolt- clockwise or counter? Would the bolt be rusty or frozen? Will any plastic parts be frozen on this 1997 model? Please bare in mind I would be in a whole lot of trouble with my mother if I broke or cracked anything! We all know what that means. Thanks in advance - Renae

Renae. You'll need to turn the screw counterclockwise, it usually takes 2 or 3 revolutions, to withdraw the screw enough to remove the agitator. You don't have to completely remove the screw. Grasp the bottom of the agitator and pull straight up. I think you'll find, that if you soak the assembly and parts in really hot, soapy water, then use a hose to rinse it off, you'll be a lot happier. Good Luck Thank you.

Hello Donna. You will need to remove the bolt in the center of the agitator. Then pull up from the bottom of the agitator to remove it from the shaft. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Hello Barb! There will be a small opening towards the bottom of the agitator 22001821 that will need to be removed for the agitator to lift up. What is the problem you are having with your washer? Thanks.
