Hello Daniel. The difference is the cam size. You will need to order the short cam 285809 for the model number you provided. Thank you.

John, The likelihood of a damaged agitate shaft is possible, but a little remote. You may want to try this first. You need to be careful,, remove the complete agitator assembly from the tub. Allow the washer to fill and agitate. Using a shop towel or rag, grasp the top portion of the shaft (the splined area) and see if you can hold the shaft still. If you can stop the shaft from oscillating, then you'll need a transmission/gear case. If the shaft continues to oscillate, you'll need a new agitator assembly.

Sam for Model Number LSQ9659LW0

Got the agitator out of washing machine and pulled the two sections apart, installed a new whirlpool cam repair kit part number 285809 into top part, but there are four taps the the bottom section has that seem to go into four slits on the plastic cam repair kit. I can't get tabs into slits, but in your video you have the same slits but don't push bottom tabs into these slits. Do i have to somehow put bottom tabs into these slits or not. That seems to be how the two pieces were held together before, if so any tips on getting the tabs through these four slits without breaking plastic repair kit. I already broke one trying to get the two pieces together.

Sam, You would just slide the cam kit into the agitator and then put the bolt back into place as it will be what holds the assembly in place.

Tom, Set the agitator on the floor and place your feet on either side. Once you do this you will then pull straight up on the top of the agitator. This should allow it to release. If you do cut the tabs off you would need to replace the lower agitator .

Hello Mom, The agitator should be removed from the washer and the top half will need to be "yanked" off from the bottom half. If you still cannot get it off, reach into the agitator tower with a screwdriver and find the four locking tabs, (hard to see since white on white), and apply pressure while unhooking them.
