Struggled with getting the agitator out until I thought to use two mini picks in the center to put the force where it needs to be. Came off quickly after that. Also used some WD40- it’s a spindle that is all rusty. Put white lithium grease so maybe next time- if there is one- is easier.
I just wanna know how to remove that stupid tub nut.. damn thing wont move.. would it unscrew clockwise or ccl? What you use to grab aholt and screw the thing?
I have this same washer 500 series (looks exactly like yours) except the inside has a tower with the softener hole at top. It is not spinning my clothes dry…they’re soaking wet! But there’s no water left like it’s not draining…just clothes are wet
Am I the only one that can’t figure out how to balance this washing machine? I distribute the clothes out very evenly around the perimeter of the washer and every single time in the spin cycle It shakes very violently! Does anyone have any tips on the best way to distribute the clothes around in there evenly so it doesn’t get out of balance? It is level as far as where it is sitting!
The suspension rods around the tank.. they got litte springs on em and have to sit a certain way in their seats. Look up kenmore 500 series suspension..
Thank you so much for the video! I’m having trouble with a loud noise when it’s washing it’s like a clicking noise. I would love to try this technique and again thank you but I’m sure my husband‘s either going to call over repair person or will get a new washer and dryer lol!I am going to look up and see if you have a video on what I just mentioned though. Merry Christmas!
I lifted my washer up off the ground by the agitator and it still won't come off. We washed a few loads after removing the bolt, dumped scalding hot water in it, sprayed wd-40 around it. Even with vice grips and pliers on the blue spines lifting and someone tapping the hub with a no bounce it just won't come up. I don't get a click or thunk when I pull up on the tub, when I pull up on the agitator the tub comes with it and maxed out at top of travel. I'm a lil perturbed.
Thank you for posting this! Had to wash some kitty-soiled towels recently and wanted to make sure the drains didn't get gummed with litter and you-know-what-else. Got the agitator off and found that the drains were all clear! Your tutorial let me get peace of mind.
Just did this, the bolt is super tight. Get a socket 7/16ths, then use a hammer and keep tapping on it counter clock wise holding the bottom piece with your thumb. Once it’s off. Banging it did not work for me, get two pair of channel locks, grab it in the center/ outside where the bolt center is. Rock it back and fourth and pull up. Only place to grab on it. Every port hole was filled with change. Use needle nose and screw driver to get it out
Anyone know how to remove the tub portion or know where to find a video of it? I need to replace the suspension rods. I have a 600 and very similar to the washer
Do not buy this specific washing machine without agitator, does not clean clothes, I purchased It and within 3 days I returned It. Buy one with agitator.
To tell you honestly, that f cover is not letting go so i put the f screw back on and forgot about me cleaning the wholes where coins and all of that debri is located at, so f that!!!
Hi, I have been jerking the tub up, wiggling the agitator & pulling on the agitator on my kenmore series 500 washer to no avail, do u think that some retained water could b causing the washer to jump & buck around? Thanks Richard
I just watched this video and fixed my washer all by myself, had a bunch of change stuck in it!! Thank you for the easiest video to follow along too!!!
NOTICE there's nothing clogging those drain holes. Same thing when I took mine off. There was nothing clogging them either. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX THIS WASHER''S CLOGGED DRAINAGE PROBLEM!

That is a great idea
Any tips for if you can’t get that middle part to come up no matter what you try?!
Look at the tip above
Thanks! I'm going to attempt this in a few hours and your video is my guide!
How did you make out
What else can a person do to take that top with blue off,,couldn't remove it as the video shiwed
Look at the top tip
I just turned the whole thing upside down after i took off the nut and it fell off itself..

Did you figure out whats wrong?
No…we bought a new washer!

My screw is SO snug- I’m struggling to get it loose.
Look at the top message it was a good idea
I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this is. I loathe this washer and dryer combo… but maybe doing this will make me hate it less.
Good luck and thank you
This round piece is held in by something more it hits loudly and is impossible to lift up. Even after popping the tub
Dupree?
Thank you for your detailed video. Tell me, where can I find its filter in order to clean it? I can't find it on the back of the machine.
Sorry I don’t know that
What should I check if it won’t go past the rinse cycle?
Try to reset it

Yes it took me a while at first. I did have to wiggle pretty aggressively

Great job, how much did u make
no dan repuesta
Well I can't get it out no matter what. It's really starting to piss me off. Lol
I had to tap it hard at first. That worked for me may not be for others
Anyone know how to remove the tub portion or know where to find a video of it? I need to replace the suspension rods. I have a 600 and very similar to the washer
Does anybody have a manual for this washer . I just bought a used one and not sure wen is right time to put detergent and softener in washer
Someone has to have a manual. Did u check online
That’s is bull shit
Do not buy this specific washing machine without agitator, does not clean clothes, I purchased It and within 3 days I returned It. Buy one with agitator.
Mines won't agitate
To tell you honestly, that f cover is not letting go so i put the f screw back on and forgot about me cleaning the wholes where coins and all of that debri is located at, so f that!!!
Yeah it’s a pain. Just try wiggle it a little
Hey cabj 185,I didn't notice which way the arrow in the tub was supposed to point to,does it matter ? Lemme know please ? Thanks bud👍🏻
No problem
What's causing a burning smell after spin?
That is not good . Maybe you need to call service
How do you put fabric softener in this machine?
It has its own department. It's smaller. My 600 has a button I need to press for it to run
Thank you
You are welcome
Thank You🙏
You are very welcome
I cleaned mine out and it still doesn’t spin out clothes all the way
If you have cloths in it that are wet take them out and ring them dry. Then reset your unit and start with a new dirty load
Can you tell how to fix your washer when it’s off balance
The fist thing I would do it get a level and make sure the unit is balanced
Thanks a million, problem solved👍
My pleasure
Hi, I have been jerking the tub up, wiggling the agitator & pulling on the agitator on my kenmore series 500 washer to no avail, do u think that some retained water could b causing the washer to jump & buck around? Thanks Richard
Did you ever get it out?
I wiggled and it ain't coming out.
I would say wiggle and pull at the same time
Do you know how to fix the agitator if it stops spinning? Mine sounds like it’s grinding. Same make and model as yours.
Sorry I do not
I just watched this video and fixed my washer all by myself, had a bunch of change stuck in it!! Thank you for the easiest video to follow along too!!!
Thank you
I struck it rich!! I couldn't believe the amount of coins stuck down there.....I am now a millionaire....thanks so much for your help.....
You are welcome lol
Leave the bolt halfway threaded in and tap on the head with a hammer while pulling up on the agitator. Mine was 11mm not 7/16s
11mm is damn near 7/16 and both will work on the nut.. just a little fyi..
Thank you so much, the wiggle part works and was the key for the Kenmore 600 Series as well (600s) specifically.
No problem
I wish you would have shown how you put it back together. Seems simple but did you encounter any difficulties?
I will give it a try. Stay tune for the next video
Where's the filter
NOTICE there's nothing clogging those drain holes. Same thing when I took mine off. There was nothing clogging them either. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO FIX THIS WASHER''S CLOGGED DRAINAGE PROBLEM!
I just gave you a example on what fixed mine
@@2010cabj ok 😁
I need to replace the drive shaft that drives that agitator any idea what the part number would be
Very helpful video Thanks brother
This video was awesome. Able to clean the whole bottom of our machine. Do you know how to take the top off so we can clean the inside of the drum too?
Thanks
