Agitator

Agitator

Peter from NY

Amana Washer The agitator was not moving as the transmission shaft moves during wash Agitator spline was stripped and freely moving on its on.

Safety glasses..& gloves Screwdriver (3/8 drive )...7/16 deep socket , long extension, handle Slip joint pliers Rotory tool with cutting blade Rags

To do the repair ... You need to cut a square hole with the rotary tool about 5" down the side from the top of the agitator. THE HOLE IS MADE ON ANY SIDE of the agitator and big enough to insert your pliers to grab hold of the transmission shaft. Pry up agitator cap with screwdriver then loosen the 7/16 bolt while holding the transmission shaft with pliers through the hole you made in agitator. Once bolt is out ,remove agitator by pulling up on it.. Now clean tub and transmission shaft with rags. Install new agitator on clean transmission spline. Tighten 7/16 bolt down.. ( don't over tighten ) Replace agitator cap. GOOD LUCK

Plastic pieces breaking off in machine

7/16 socket patience and strength

When installing the new part clean spline on transmission & use anti seize compound so easier to remove agitator again.
