Mo December 12, 2012 for Model Number WTW5300SQ0 Do you unscrew the bolt that fastens the agitator clockwise or counterclockwise to remove it?
1 Answer Hello Mo, This is a standard right hand thread so to remove it you need to turn it counterclockwise. You will have to reach in with the other hand and hold the agitator so it doesn't turn while unscrewing it. Read More...

Mike R. November 11, 2012 for Model Number AWM372 My Speed Queen washer has grease coming from inside the tub. It looks like it is coming from under the agitator. What to do?
1 Answer Hello Mike, This isn't grease but old spoiled fabric softener. The agitator needs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned. You see, most folks don't realize that fabric softener is made of 80% to 90% animal fat. The remaining content is colorings and perfumes to mask its' decomposition. This means that it will spoil. If you want to try an experiment, put a drip of fabric softener on top of the dryer. Look at it every day. It will start out blue and slowly turn green, then yellow, then brown, and eventually black. Somewhere between the yellow and black stages a chunk will break loose and get into the wash. Being animal fat, it will stain clothing just like grease will. This is why the manufacturer recommends to dilute the softener with hot water before putting the softener into the dispenser. This prevents the "clinging" of the softener from making the big mess that seems to exist in most homes. Read More...
Corie November 10, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore Series 80 washer Model 110 22882 100 Hello~I have a Kenmore Series 80 washer that is having agitator problems. First, the agitator base/augur/agitator is coming loose during the washing cycle, so much so that it actually can (very easily) be pulled out of the washer (one whole piece). This has happened before and we were able to screw it back on but that is no longer working. Now, not only is the agitator needing twisting (rotating the base one way and the top piece of the agitator the other way keeps it coming completely out so easily) it is no longer agitating. The washer fills, spins, and drains completely but the clothes are not getting as clean and the detergent isn't mixing well. Is it possible to fix it?
1 Answer Corie, Yes it is possible to "fix" your washer. You first have to determine why the agitator is loose and coming up and off the agitator shaft. There is a 7/16 in. bolt and washer that hold the agitator assembly to the shaft. You'll need to remove the agitator cap, then the cover and ring, to check the bolt. You'll also want to remove the agitator, and check the "dogs" and cams 285810 for excess wear and damage or distortion, this could cause the agitator auger to operate eratically, the auger should move freely in one direction only(counter clockwise) if it will turn in either direction, the dogs and cams will need to be replaced Read More...

Mary Anne B August 24, 2012 for Model Number ETW4300SQO The washer washes the clothes and seems to be pumping out most of the water but it isnt spinning. What part do I need?
1 Answer Mary Anne, The issue is most likely a "slipping" clutch 285785 coupling 285753A and or clogged drain pump WP3363394 . You first want to check and make sure there's nothing stuck between the two tubs, and the washer drains properly, It has to be empty, before the tub will spin. We'll send you some additional information that may be helpful. Read More...
Paul August 04, 2012 for Model Number WTW57ESVW0 Trying to service agitator by installing new cam kit. Can't get the bottom agitator lowered on the splined shaft and hold down bolt will not reach when assembling both halves of the agitator for reinstall. Any suggestions short of buying a new agitator assembly?
1 Answer Hello Paul, This sounds like you may have gotten the cam driven bearing or the cam itself mis-installed. I would dis-assemble it one more time to insure that the items are placed in the correct order and not upside down. Please don't take this the wrong way as experienced technicians make the mistake and have to go through the same process. Also the parts you put in should have looked like the ones you removed. It is possible to have the wrong kit. Read More...
