John M Sussex , WI November 02, 2015 The upper agitator/filter would fly off during the spin cycle and bang around the drum Bought a new upper agitator/filter housing. Just slide it over the bottom agitator housing and put the cap from the old one on the new one. Takes maybe 3 minutes to do. The screen inside the lower part of the housing/filter holds it snug to the bottom housing and does not fly off during the spin cycle. Works great.
