Edward M Glen Allen , VA March 10, 2019 Agitator was not turning I had to replace the drive shaft and the lower agitator. The motor coupling was also worn out. The repair was challenging because I had to rebuild the gear box. This step was really messy and I had to wait for the liquid gasket to set prior to completing the repair. Cleaning and prep of all of the parts tripled the repair time.

Alexander A Austin , TX March 27, 2015 My washing machine agitator barely moved when operating The diagnosis was the longest part of the repair, but I found out that the splines on the inside of the agitator had stripped out, so the matching splines on the drive shaft of the washer were not spinning the agitator as they should. I bought just the bottom part of the agitator from this site, and it matched perfectly with the old top part and the drive shaft of the washer. The actual repair just took 5 minutes.

Robert S Logandale , NV December 25, 2023 Appliance: Whirlpool Laundry Centers WET4027HW0 The agitator would not engage with the drive shaft. I replaced the agitator with a new one from AppliancePartsPros.com. The repair took maybe five minutes. Simply pull the softener dispenser off, pull the seal (I used needle nose pliers), Then use a socket and long extension to remove the bolt that attaches the agitator to the shaft. Install the new agitator, tighten the bolt, replace the seal (use liquid dish soap to lube the o-ring first), and replace the softener dispenser. The drive shaft connects to the agitator with splines. The shaft is metal, the agitator splines are plastic, so the splines on the agitator just wear out. Wish they put a brass insert in the agitator for the splines. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Pliers, Socket Set
