Awesome video sharky, you've got a gift! I have a Whirlpool wtw5300 and the bottom half of the agitator is fine but the top spins either way easily. With your great instruction, it was easy to take apart, my dogs are not broken, it's all relatively clean, they have teeth but there's nothing to apply tension to make them engage with the outer ring teeth. I flipped the dogs over actually and they have too much tension, it accomplishes what I want, the top agitator only moves In One direction but it has and annoying ratchet sound as the what is now probably over tensioned teeth slide across one another. Could it be that my dogs are worn out at the hinge point where the lobe of each dog drops down into? I presumed that to be the case and ordered not just new dogs but also the plastic ring that holds them, was just hoping for confirmation as I await the parts LOL

Thanks. 1. No problem at all, got it done in 10 minutes. 2. I used my socket wrench, but I had to buy a 10-inch extension for it. An extra $7.00, but who cares. 3. The parts store down the street from my office had the agitator dogs. Supco part No. LP338, $5.00. 4. On my machine, the 7/16 inch bolt has a rubber gasket. Be sure to look out for it while unscrewing the bolt, and be sure to put it back.

You're very welcome! Glad your machine is back in working order!

A few notes: 0) Once you have the unit out of the drum, clean it thoroughly. Nothing is caked on, so it's an easy clean with a garden hose. The Teeth inside the Auger that the Dogs line up with may have to be cleaned with a tooth brush. It's important these Teeth are free of crud so that the Dogs engage the Teeth freely and evenly all around. 1) The top part is called the Auger while the larger bottom part is called the Agitator. 2) There's a small plastic piece called the Thrust Washer on top of the Agitator. You should apply a tiny bit of Agitator Grease to the top of this Thrust Washer. Any lithium grease will do. 3) The two Agitator Base Tabs are not needed and can be broken off and removed, but either on or off is fine. 4) The Cap Seal that has the rubber 0-ring (sometimes called the Dust Cover) must be set securely. Check it carefully that it's not sitting at an angle in the Auger. With your hand holding it inside the Auger, it's hard to tell if it's seated properly. Inspect carefully until you're sure it's correctly placed. You should hear a slight thumping sound when it's pressed into place and is secure. 5) Lastly, this Dust Cover (the last thing you put into place before setting back the Fabric Softener Bowl) may be hard to remove. Slipping two fingers under the two plastic finger holes on top of the Cap and pulling up with a slight twisting motion should pull it free. If not, you may try a pair of plyers, but fingers alone should do the trick. This an easy 1/2 hour job. Good luck and have fun.

Hi. Thank you very much for the fantastic video!! It saved me much agony. For others needing this type of repair, I suggest you do that last load to hold you over, and then take it apart to see which parts your particular model needs. My Whirlpool didn't have a thrust washer, it has a "short" cam (as in the video I think), and it had a yellow plastic "bearing" ("retainer" that also supports the dogs) instead of the black one in the video. I ordered this: "Ultra Durable 285809 Short Cam Agitator Repair Kit by Blue Stars - Exact Fit for Whirlpool & Maytag…" - it was a few bucks less than the others and it was exactly the kit I needed, as the yellow "bearing" was torn-up also. Easy-piezy. Thanks again!! :)

I DID IT I DID IT I Fixed my agitator!!!!! Some things I encountered that I think are funny and unique to my situation. As a woman of smaller build, I wasn't able to simply hold the bottom of the agitator while getting the bolt to turn. I'm not that strong and it was in there TIGHT. So, I had to sit on top of the machine with my feet in the drum and hold the bottom of the agitator still with my feet while using two hands to loosen the nut. The other thing was that I have no tools other than what was in this old house when I bought it. I sorted through piles and piles of miscellaneous tool parts before I found something long enough and of the right size to reach down into the agitator. It was a flimsy little thing from some torn-up, half missing, rusty and flimsy little set (maybe to repair bikes or something?) and I broke the EFFF outta it and had to Frankenstein some other pieces together to screw the nut back in when I was reassembling. STILL though, it worked and I can now wash clothes without using my hands to move the clothes around. Ahhhhh the luxurious life. I have a load of clothes in there now..... getting all agitated and shit. thanks for the great video!

It was a real chore taking this thing apart - things were stuck pretty good. Turns out the dogs are worn, but I never knew the agitator wasn't working. But the real problem was all the black mold that was on the internal parts. We spent a good amount of time cleaning that all off. I ordered a kit for my WTW5200VQ2 an when it arrives, it will be much easier to replace the dogs.

I Just thought a store like this would have a guy that was not a liar in it. LOL he was like oh , sir, we would never lie to you, you need a agitator to repair that. Thanks for this video, I need to go find the parts still now though. I wish there was a way to make these work till the new parts get here , the dogs on this one are smooth, I am betting if I put new grooves in them with a file they will be too short/ I have to order the parts in because the only store around here has a liar for a sales person in it. I might try that file thing anyway since they are ready old and need replacing. seems like it would not have been too much to ask for whirlpool to put a better set up inside there. all plastic is pretty lame for what this stuff costs. metal ring with roller teeth and the a pivoting metal rolling dog would have probably lasted forever. rolling edge like a bearing that clicks in positively but doesn't eat up and grind to nothing. stainless non rust.

Yeah some of those sales people are pretty crazy. This part is easy to find! Just search on Amazon or Repair Clinic.

You are the best, Sir. Thank you!

Hey no problem at all! :D

7:27 beg my pard! I guess this is what happens when you can better articulate what you're talking about, you get a very well-explained process. Editing was also perfect. Medium rare!

+jaykay18 Everything worked out great in this video. All the original recording, and editing was to try to make this video as short as it could be, so as to not drag on. When I saw that I was able to get it below 10 minutes, without omitting anything important, I was very happy.

you're way better than those pro hicks..putting together brand new stuff and saying replace this that and those and buy a new this stuff ect ect

Yep! I’ll never rip people off!

I have a kenmore 80 series washer, if it leaks a little oil for 2 years, how much longer until it will make noises on agitation and/or spin

Depends on how much, if it's just a couple of drops or so, not the biggest deal, if there's a good amount on the floor, then yeah I would get that looked at.

What is the real trick to separate the two pieces. I had a 350 lb man who couldn’t do it?

Trying to clean up a second hand washer - many thanks for the tutorial on how to remove the agitator and dogs! When I got underneath the agitator (which I wanted to remove to be able to repaint the drum) it was a mess! That little cap that's supposed to prevent water from going into everything wasn't clipped in place - so there was gunk everywhere. I've since washed everything to a nice sparkling white on the agitator - but the base of the center post was horribly dirty - and I wanted to know once I remove the agitator - those 4 holes where I can see gear teeth at the bottom - can I get that wet? Took a photo - but there doesn't seem to be a place to attach it....

You should be okay. The best way to keep a machine clean is to use powdered detergent and warm or hot washes when you can. If you need to wash anything in cold, do that first, and then wash the others.
