Sonia March 24, 2020 for Model Number CAWS953RQ0 Top agitator spins freely. Had service man come out to replace agitator dogs. The bolt holding it in had corroded and when he tried to remove it, the top broke off. He said it should have been a SS bolt. Packed up and said good luck fixing it! Paid him $50. Found your website, what a blessing. Watched one video, thought I could just pull out entire agitator, wrong washer. (Ha!!!) Looks like I will still need to get the bolt out to replace the dogs or whole agitator assemble. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Sonia, you have a direct drive washer, it is a well-made washer and would be worth fixing if you wish to keep it. You will have to drill out the bolt that was broken off. Once the bolt is drilled out, you can remove the agitator. At this point, the threads in the shaft of the gearcase are probably ruined and the gearcase would need to be replaced. If you want to keep it, replace the clutch and all the parts associated with the drive system. If you can get the bolt out without ruining the gearcase shaft, you then can replace the agitator dogs and replace the bolt. Read More...
Kathy March 04, 2020 The top of the agitator keeps moving up when it's washing. I can push down on it and it will turn fine. I can also pull it up on it and the outside part will come up. Please let me know what I need to replace. Thank you
1 Answer Kathy, We will need to have the model number of your washer to be able to assist properly with your question. Read More...
Thomas Brown February 25, 2020 for Model Number WTW5800SW0 After removing the agitator bolt, the agitator will not come off. will it be necessary to pry it off?
1 Answer Thomas, Sometimes the agitator will get stuck like this and you will need to try to get under it with a rope or something and use leverage to pull the agitator off. Also, try tapping with a rubber mallet at the bottom to free it up. Read More...
Gerard December 25, 2019 for Model Number MVWC300XW0 Clothes are getting tangled in the agitator not sure what's wrong can you help me agitator goes back and forth seems to be working fine
1 Answer Gerard, While agitating make sure the inner basket is able to move independent from the agitator and they are not locked together. This would indicate an issue with the actuator or splutch assembly. Both parts are in the motor area. Read More...

Vic October 27, 2018 for Model Number MVWB750WQ1 Hello, I have a Maytag Bravos MVWB750WQ1 washer that's made by whirlpool. I've always wanted a longer auger.agitator so all the clothes get massaged and cleaned more. Will this part fit my washer if I wanted to replace the existing low profile agitator with this one? if not than could you recommend one that does fit? Many thanks
1 Answer Vic, Unfortunately there would be no full agitator that will work for your unit. Read More...
Rudy August 07, 2018 for Model Number LSQ9010LW2 Both upper and lower agitators barely move during wash cycle. The dogs and coupler were still good but replaced them with new parts since it was already apart. Examined the inside of the lower agitator where the splined metal shaft fastens to and saw that the lower half of the plastic splines in the agitator was worn out. This caused the lower half to wobble a bit and lose traction. Also, when I reassembled everything, both agitators would initially turn but not as firm and eventually stop rotating. I checked to the splined metal shaft to see if there was any irregular sloppiness or movement which there wasn't. I'm thinking the entire assembly including the pieces in between are just worn out (17 yr machine) and decided to purchase a whole new agitator assembly to start from scratch. My question would be if replacing the entire agitator assembly will resolve the non agitating action and what type of white grease do you apply to plastic washer insert? Thanks. rudy
1 Answer Ruby, try taking the entire plastic agitator assembly off and watch the metal shaft as it turns, does it turn normally back and forth? If it does not, you will need a new gearcase, if it turns good but the splines on the metal shaft are worn too much, you will still need to replace the gearcase. Read More...
