Damn right, if there are no specialty tools require, and as straight forward as this for a part that costs less than $2, there is no way you should have to pay $150 to have it done! Power to all DIY people!
@@JDirom hey nice video, what does it mean if the bolt to the agitator is wet? Does it mean water was seeping in because the seal o ring wasn't keeping the water out? Like that black seal that was broken when you pulled that piece (cap) over the bolt off?
So easy! I've had the washer for 11 years and I bought it used. To tell the truth, I've always just tossed the clothes in, shut the lid, and walked away. It wasn't until I noticed the fabric softener leaking out (bad o'ring) that I actually watched the machine moving. It is possible it never agitated! LOL I had to replace all the parts so it cost $6 instead of $1, but it sure beats $$$$ for a repair person or a bazillion for a new washer. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your video. I was able to fix my wash machine in like 10min. Everything was spot on. 7/16 socket, long extension and your good to go. Thanks Again ! Cost-$5.00 and the was high for express delivery of the dogs.
My washer is 23 yrs old, had the dog ears replaced once. Now You Tube is my best friend on everything! Thank you for your video, looks easy to do. Going to local parts store in Ocala FL and fix my washer tomorrow!
Nice video, but my problem is the big screw it has lots of rust and my tech told me it would be hard to remove it… what do you suggest I should buy to prepare myself to replace parts? Should I buy the entire agitator in case he has to break it?
I imagine that the tech would be better judge of your situation seeing it. That being said penetrating fluid should help remove the bolt if there is a little rust.
Same Paul! I'm exhausted from trying, my husband and I are strong and capable it will not come apart. I've almost fallen backwards from pulling so hard. Any luck?
I replaced the agitator dogs, and turned the agitator by hand it does catches. But when I turn the machine on, the dogs seems didn’t catch the agitator. Please help. The teeth inside the agitator still looks good.
😢is that possible for the transmission didn’t turn far enough to swing the dogs out to catch the agitator? Please help! I already every ( new dogs, agitator, new agitator holder)
DIY for life man. I have refurbished my hot water tank, furnace and fridge. I don't like replacing things that don't need replacing. Great vid man.

THANK YOU!!!!!! Even I could do this with the right tool.
Glad it helped you out.
I guess Kurt Russell does this as a hobby.
You sound EXACTLY like Kurt Russell.
LOL!!!
lol…I can assure you I am not Kurt Russell.
Easy breezy, thank you for the video
Glad it helped.
I find it funny how these direct drives with worn agitator dogs STILL turn loads over better than these newer machines. Lol
Also way easier to fix than the new ones!
@@JDirom very true!
Love all the information. Working on online of these now.
I notice that you didn't show how much of a pia it was to get the bolt out .
The only difficulty should be as mentioned is having the tools to make sure you can reach the bolt. Hope you got things fixed.
Thank you so much!!
Glad it helped!
awesome thank u
Glad it helped.
Hey is a roper the same way? Cuz my agitator doesn’t work good either wonder if it’s the wig wag is it the same part I’ll need
Will be very similar google the washer model number and search for a parts diagram. It will show it exploded and parts numbers.
Hi great great video. I’m confused about the 7/16” wrench extender. Is the extender 7/16” too?
Use whatever extender you have to reach the nut with the 11mm socket. The extender would be 1/4” if you are using a 1/4” socket wrench.
@@JDirom thank you🙂
Hi. Hate to bother you and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can’t get the agitator grease anywhere is there a viable substitute.
@@Kayemwhy Lithium grease

I see that you wore your best uniform shirt to do this video (3:46)??? ;-)
Always wear my Sunday’s best to do repairs
I cannot pull the top part of the agitator. You put your feet and pull it easily. I put my 2 feet and pull very hard but it won't come out
Should take very little effort to do. There isn’t much holding it on there.
Same Paul! I'm exhausted from trying, my husband and I are strong and capable it will not come apart. I've almost fallen backwards from pulling so hard. Any luck?
Part number for the dogs?
80040 is what I used amzn.to/3K9bxIw
I replaced the agitator dogs, and turned the agitator by hand it does catches. But when I turn the machine on, the dogs seems didn’t catch the agitator. Please help. The teeth inside the agitator still looks good.
If it is not catching it is best to replace the other parts as well.
Thank you sir, what other parts that I need to replace?
😢is that possible for the transmission didn’t turn far enough to swing the dogs out to catch the agitator? Please help! I already every ( new dogs, agitator, new agitator holder)
no funciono pero gracias no se que mas podra ser
podría ser esto ua-cam.com/video/eMnNGlMh08s/v-deo.html
I can't remove the seal it's stuck
Likely beneficial to replace the other parts as well then.
Clean that softener cup omg
@@JDirom please son. There’s like hair in it lmao. The Whirlpool will thank uou
@@JDirom Hahahahaha
Put the new cam in if you already have that
Um, you skipped the entire part about how to keep the motor from turning while removing the nut?????
Did you get the nut removed?
@@JDirom yeah, I realized I just needed to hold the bottom of the agitator.:)
@@chilidog73 good glad to hear you got it sorted!
Clean your dispenser
Just trying to help
Dang washing machines are nasty inside. Bacteria in our “clean” clothes
They deal with a lot of dirt
