Whirlpool WP8533953 Screw OEM Part

I had to cut the old agitator out with an oscillating saw in order to access the agitator drive. This is the second Maytag (MVWC 565) I have had to do this to. I first tried removing it by sliding straps under the agitator then then using a jack to pull it loose which did not work either time. One suggestion I have would be to remove debris from tub as you cut in order to prevent it from dropping from the inner tub into the outer tub.

Called Appliance Parts Pros and again they nailed the problem on the head-replaced hub under agitator-machine now works fine-they have helped me repair 3 different appliances in my home.

1 . I ran the washer to see what was wrong with it . 2 Unplugged the washer from 120 Volt Plug. 3 Removed softer dispenser by pulling up 4. Removed the bolt holding the agitator. 5 . Pulled out agitator. 6 Removed all screens Holding drive hub and clip. 7 . Replaced and put everything back .8 Ran a test run. 9 . Also replaced the shift actuator.

We ordered a kit from another supplier. Should have got them here. I WILL if there is a next time. Well, it is a pretty involved adventure I have to say. But, AppliancePartsPros.com had an excellent video that covered everything I needed to know. Since I had been through this 2 years ago, I was somewhat familiar with the procedure. So watching it again was very helpful. It made the job only a 3-hour business for me. Even though it is not needed, I was blessed to be able to use a forklift to have better access to the bottom as you need to alternately work from both the top and bottom sides to accomplish the repair. In the end, the last bolt, the one that holds the agitator, was ruined by defective threads in the previous shift I installed. AppliancePartsPros.com had a very good parts breakdown with pictures and it was simple to find the bolt I needed. Thank you Appliance Parts Pros!

I ordered the drive clutch, the drive hub, and replaced both of them. Only needed the hub, but since I had it apart I went ahead and did both anyhow. The videos were a great help in getting these repairs done. Having them simplifies the repair process. The parts went in without an issue. A $100 fix is better than spending a $1000 on a new washer. Videos were a big help, parts were delivered quickly and they were the right parts. The last time I had to repair an appliance Sears parts centers were still in business. With the videos, this service was as seemless and efficient as Sears was. In fact it was better due to the access of the videos. Minus the wait for parts. Even then I didn’t have to leave the house. Thanks for the help, & look forward to using your service in the future.
