I have to say thank you so much for your video. I thought we were going to have to replace our washer but after watching your video I bought new dogs for $6 and fixed it myself! Thank you for taking the time to make that video. Saved our family a lot of money!
I can't tell you how happy I am that I came across your video. You saved me a lot of pain and aggravation, not to mention a lot of money! Thank you for posting a video that was perfectly filmed, perfectly clear, and solved a problem that I'm sure a lot of us would have called a repair person to do.
My mom asked me to look up how to fix a washing machine agitator and you helped us figure out not only what was wrong, but how to fix it. Thank you so much! You rock.
After washing a comforter in my new washer, the agitator unscrewed itself! I was able to fix it after watching your video. You saved my washer from a beating of a lifetime. Thanks Weezie!
Greg Gaspar here, So Calif: Thank you for this vid. Simple, clear, and concise. Your steps and the method of troubleshooting made this helpful. Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who still try to make our own repairs on appliances. It helps cause we're pretty low on funds right now. Thanks again.
This happened to me the other day. I almost called the hubby to do a service check, or worse, buy a new washer. I couldnt find anything that explained how to troubleshoot in a manner I would understand(most were just saying check this or that but didnt say HOW). Then I found your video. It saved me a lot of money. I was able to test and confirm that I just needed "dogs". Ordered some on amazon for $5. THANK YOU!
i am a week away from the buyer picking up our old set and the agitator just quit after 10 years! your video was the first i clicked on and your information and instruction was spot on. got it up and running in about 10 minutes thanks to your help!
OMG! I just fixed my agitator thanks to your video. You saved me $$$$ and it was so easy, trust me, if I can do it anyone can. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Had to order the part from Sears cost $8.69. Thank you!!!
Came home from work and my wife had a problem with the washing machine. Found your video and went to work. It was a little tough to get it apart (it was all gunked up) but it worked just like you said. It was late on a Saturday and the appliance parts store was closed, so I took my Dremel an cut some teeth into the dogs, and it works like a charm. Great how-to video!
I like you! Hubby is a trucker; on the road, and stuff breaks. Your video gave me the knowledge needed, to fix er right up! She is plucking along right now. WOOT! TY!
I wanted to leave you a glowing comment and say all the things about how much I appreciate your video but there's a bunch of people that have usurped the things I would have said. So, I will focus on you instead. As I watched the video I was commenting to my wife on how natural you were and how you come across on the screen. Watching you fix the machine was like looking over a favorite uncle's shoulder. Great job, great video. Thanks for spending your time and talent to help us and prevent needless expenses. Well done.
Thanks for posting this video! This worked for my Kenmore washing machine. It took less than $4 and about 15 - 20 minutes to repair. I appreciate you taking the time to post it.
Thank you for this instructional video Weezie. I was doing laundry this afternoon when I noticed the agitator wasn't working on the machine. I immediately went online to research possible causes where I came upon your video. What I ended doing in the interim was re-grooving the 'dogs' with an exacto knife, something I would NOT recommend anybody do unless you have a very steady hand, while we placed the order for the 'agitator dogs' online. The agitator is working okay but will replace it still.
01/02/2015, I want to say "thank you"; I watched your video, went and bought the $8 parts, installed them and it is working GREAT. My wife had ALMOST convinced me we had to buy a new washing machine with our tax return money. I'm sure she'll find another use for those funds... LOL. Thanks again.
Danielle Holmes more n likely you would have to either use a bit of very strong glue remover like, paint thinner or stronger, or, access through the bottom, which is not as easy
Weezie, you rock! My Kenmore 80 Series has been useless for ages. Watched yer channel and took apart the agitator. Them dogs were dead! Gonna pick up the new ones at Gibson's in about 4 hours here. This is what folks do up late at night. Get it all in a pile!
Thank you so much! My washer wasn't agitating and I Google how to fix it and yours was the first video that came up. Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars!
Thank you so much for the video. I notice my washer machine had same problem and I was ready to purchase another machine until I ran into this video.. I saved myself $800 dollars.
Great video - it saved me a $75 repair call, plus parts and labor - all in to fix our Agitator Dogs - $5.60 for a pack of 4 and it took me maybe 15 minutes to take the agitator out, replace the dogs and put it back together!
made my day. those dogs were worn down because some jack of all of nothing put a heavy blanket in the matching and now it doesn't work. well thanks to you... I'll get it going ☺
Dude, thanks for this vid! Until this morning, I had no idea what "agitator dogs" were and I was able to easily fix our washing machine instead of buying a new one thanks to your help! :)
Thank you, thank you! Your video saved me about $200 I would have otherwise had to shell out to a whirlpool repair guy. I ordered my own repair parts online for about $14 and washing machine worked like new afterward.
This video was spot on. I followed it earlier this afternoon to replace the agitator dogs on my Whirlpool washer. It works as good as new. Thanks a lot for posting this.
thank you thank you! you just saved us waiting around for the washing machine guy. and the parts store turned out to be just a block away. we are very grateful!
Thanks to you, I was able to repair my washing machine by myself today and I've never even tried to take one apart before. Disassembly was a little different for my Kenmore model but close enough. Thank you!!
Thank you, brother. I just fixed my Kenmore/Whirlpool for $8 with your video. For anyone trying to fix a Kenmore, once you remove the softener dispenser, you need a flat edge screw driver to pop the top cap off the agitator. But other than that, the instructions are the same.
Working like a charm! Good for another 10+ years....I hope! Thank you so much for making this very creative and informative video. PS, I laughed so hard when you made the association with the slippery dog to " snot on a door knob ". You're hysterical!!!!
Your video was the first thing that popped up when I searched for what was wrong with my washer, and you were right! Got it fixed yesterday and it's workin like a champ now... Thanks a lot! :) You were even dead on with the price. lol
Thanks for video. The agitator in my 25+ year old washer was broken for awhile now, so I thought I’d give CZcams a try to see if I could find a fix (worked for me a few years back when my dryer belt broke). Your diagnosis for broken dogs matched what I was encountering and it looked like your washer was identical to mine, so I thought I’d be off to the races. Sure enough, the dogs in my washer were completely shattered and only cost $6 dollars to replace. The assembly was somewhat the same, at least to start -- same cap over the nut, and 7/16 inch socket to loosen. But a bit more complicated in that I had to pull both lower and upper parts of the agitator out to fix things, and there was no collar to hold the new dogs in place. I would have used a bit of Play-Doh to hold the dogs until I reassembled upper and lower pieces back together, but didn’t have any on hand, so used small bits of masking tape instead. With a bit of agitation, I figure they’ll quickly disappear in the wash. Anyway, all’s well again … maybe for the next 25 years. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you. This was great and easy to follow. Fixed the agitator and you were right about the spin video too. Moved the machine, saw the pile of black rubber and white plastic from the coupler. Replaced it and I'm back in business. Laundry day tomorrow :)
Thanks for the video, Weezie! I'm not a self-fix-it guy at all, but the alternatives were to get a repair person or replace the whole machine. However, your video made me feel comfortable doing this myself. I found the parts super cheap on Amazon. I used the "Whirlpool 285811 Agitator Repair Kit for Washer". Machine works great now. You rock!!!
Really appreciated your sharing this. I had one where the dogs were all worn out and the washer was not agitating. Very simple fix, and less than $15 for parts. Thank you so much :)
I threw out a machine and replaced it about a year ago for exactly this reason. I blame you for not posting this video when I needed it. LOL Seriously, it was an old Kenmore, and I love the new Whirlpool I replaced it with, but if I'd known how to get in there and replace those dogs, I'd probably have kept it for another 10 years.
I wish you would have posted this about a year ago. My machine stopped agitating so I was about to go buy a new one. I decided to try to figure it out first, so I did some taking apart and finally found the 'dogs". If I would have seen this it would have saved me a little work.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This fix cost me $5.35!!!! It was easy, easy, easy . . . . And, when you ask for the part at the appliance store, it really is called a 'dog'! God bless!
Thank you for posting this! I had that same problem and your video helped me fix my washer step by step! I got my Agitator Dogs at Sears Parts. It costed $10 and took 10 minutes to do. The agitator spins flawlessly now.
I have a washing machine that had that same problem.I'm a beginner in this field so I was happy to run into your video.It was easy to fix and it saved me some money,,,,ty :)
Thank you so much. I am not a handyman, I'm more of a klutz, but I was able to make this repair in under 30 minutes and the part only cost $3.95 including tax. I am on a fixed income and really appreciate the savings.
Thank you so much for this video. I replaced the dogs and now the agitator is spinning again all within an hour! :) Thank goodness for the Sears appliance parts store here and them being open on a Sunday.
Weezie63---I like You! My washer hadn't been working right, I googled it, found you and now I'm running a load and it's working perfectly!!!! Thank you so much! I loved the video! "slicker than snot on a doorknob" I about died! Thank you for sharing your fix it knowledge, I thought I had to buy a new washer! You rock! My husband will be so proud of me! (Rest assured, I will give you the credit!)
THANK YOU!!!!! OMG! I cannot believe I did this! The guy at the parts store told me he doubted I could - taking a photo of my work and sending it to him!!!
Glad I found this! I had to replace the dogs when my mom handed the washer down to me and that was about 3 yrs ago. This week the washer stopped working again! I checked the agitator like you said and sure enough, it only spins one way. Sooooo I shall make my way to the place I went to last time and grab some more! Thanks so much!!
Wow! You're wonderful! I found everything just as you said, and when I got that little clutch part out, lo and behold, the dogs were all worn down just like you said! Thank you! Another costly repair by somebody I don't even know, avoided, and I have one more valuable piece of information to add to my repertoire! Many thanks!
Weezie! Just wanted to say you are TRUE blessing to me and my husband. We just wanted to say THANK YOU! Your video really helped us out and youu were easy to understand and funny.
GREAT video! Thanks for your help--you definitely saved me both time and money in repairing my washing machine. I'm really glad you mentioned the threads on the nut were not reversed, and to expect them to be very tight. Mine were so tight I probably would have been second-guessing the correct way to loosen the bolt--thinking they were maybe reverse threads. Well done.
Thanks weezie Took me 20 minutes from stArt to finish including washing all the parts while they were out. Saved a service call and the hustle of waiting around all day for them to show up. $10 here in Canada and now works like new. It's been awhile since it turned with the force it does now.
I had just started doing laundry and decided to open the lid and and trip the lid switch to watch it and I saw it wasn't agitating. I guess I pushed too hard on the lid switch and broke it. Looked that up too on how to fix it. Super easy when you watch a video of someone doing it. I took the agitator dogs off and they are all worn. Will go down to Sears tomorrow and get some new ones and the switch too. Thanks again
thank you so much for making this video! With your instructions and FREE dogs from the appliance store my girlfriend & I had our washer fixed in no time!
thank u for this video! I fixed my washer yesterday all by myself! !! I did have a problem removing the screw but parts were $10.68 and my machine is WORKING!!!
$8.52 for the parts vs. a $60 co-pay to my home warranty company. NICE!! Thanks so much!! :) (btw, I have an '89 Whirlpool Heavy Duty Model LA5558XSWO and this thing is EPIC - total workhorse & hope to get many, many more years out of it!)
Thank you kind sir for taking the time to put this very helpful video out there for all the world to use. Thank you very much!! Your a talented guy with wisdom and style. You saved a ton of people lots of money.
Yup. It was just like you said. Quick and easy. I wound up replacing the lid switch too from a youtube video too. Thank God for folks like you and youtube.
Watched the video, inspected the dogs and found them to be worn out and broken. The dogs are engaged when you turn the upper agitator counter clockwise which should turn the lower agitator together. This will help with troubleshooting the dogs as a possible issue. Pulling the assembly as directed on the video will give you the best diagnosis. Ordered the parts on Amazon and made the repairs. Maytag Centennial with commercial parts, part # 80040, which fits Kenmore and Whirlpool models as well. Thanks for helping make us smarter and self sufficient!
This video saved me a hundred dollar maintenance call. Parts were $8 and 10 minutes to fix. Only difference- my series 70 Kenmore has a nylon cap (bolt) that takes a half inch socket to remove.
Thank you sooooo much, Weezie! You made fixing my washer so easy and understandable. You helped me save a lot of money. Keep making these videos. You rock!
I resorted to some brute force to separate the two parts of the agitator, then was able to proceed with the rest of the job. I am mechanically & technically challenged. BUT it was an easy fix. Just like you showed. Thanks so much!!
Just fixed it thanks! Had a hard time keepin the dogs in when tryin to put it back in but after a few grunts and creativity it all stayed together. Thanks, Trisha
My husband is in Afghanistan and we only see him twice per year. That being said, if something breaks at home, I either have to figure it out or call someone. Thanks to videos like your's, I don't have to pay someone out the nose to fix something simple!
Thank you so much! I finished the repair before your video finished. You just saved me $400. I owe you a beer. Thank you very much!
I have to say thank you so much for your video. I thought we were going to have to replace our washer but after watching your video I bought new dogs for $6 and fixed it myself! Thank you for taking the time to make that video. Saved our family a lot of money!

THIS GUY ROCKS. He showed my husband how to save our washing machine and a bunch of money. Thanks!

weezie63 My plastic lid that covers the dogs is super glued down, it doesn't just pop out. how would I get it off?
Weez, Nathunder's _what_ is welcome?
Danielle Holmes more n likely you would have to either use a bit of very strong glue remover like, paint thinner or stronger, or, access through the bottom, which is not as easy

You're a life saver. For some reason, while cleaning my washer, those rubber dogs you mentioned were non existant.
Great video - it saved me a $75 repair call, plus parts and labor - all in to fix our Agitator Dogs - $5.60 for a pack of 4 and it took me maybe 15 minutes to take the agitator out, replace the dogs and put it back together!

You saved me $500! It cost $4.50 for the repair so thanks a lot!! A very easy job.

Thanks for saving us the cost of a new washer. So proud to have fixed the washer ourselves!
Weezie you are the man!$ 4.81 and I'm agitating again.. awesome video!

Thank you Sir for your information. My daughters machine was having this problem and you helped me fix it for her. Cost $9.

Way to go . Its very satisfying to see someone take care of fixing things instead of having to buy a new machine. God Bless
THANK YOU!!!!! OMG! I cannot believe I did this! The guy at the parts store told me he doubted I could - taking a photo of my work and sending it to him!!!
Great job Sally Flag.
Thanks so much! Ordered the dogs online for less than four bucks and fixed the washer in five minutes. Great video!

Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful in sharing your knowledge to help others. We all need to help one another with what we Know.
$8.52 for the parts vs. a $60 co-pay to my home warranty company. NICE!! Thanks so much!! :) (btw, I have an '89 Whirlpool Heavy Duty Model LA5558XSWO and this thing is EPIC - total workhorse & hope to get many, many more years out of it!)
Had it done in 15 minutes, saved me who knows how much money! $7.49 for the dogs at Sears. Thanks!!!!
You are a badass John
Thank you kind sir for taking the time to put this very helpful video out there for all the world to use. Thank you very much!! Your a talented guy with wisdom and style. You saved a ton of people lots of money.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! You're an awesome teacher; I love how well you explained everything! I hope you make more videos.
Yup. It was just like you said. Quick and easy. I wound up replacing the lid switch too from a youtube video too. Thank God for folks like you and youtube.
Thanks man! You've saved me a bundle on washer repairs and you helped me learn something new!
Thank you so much... You saved me from buying a new washer --- I will be going to buy this today. I love you man
Great job explaining the repair. Took 5 min. and washer was up'n running.
Thanks
This video so rocked! I thought I had to buy a new machine. It was so easy to fix after looking at this video. Your a life saver!
Watched the video, inspected the dogs and found them to be worn out and broken. The dogs are engaged when you turn the upper agitator counter clockwise which should turn the lower agitator together. This will help with troubleshooting the dogs as a possible issue. Pulling the assembly as directed on the video will give you the best diagnosis. Ordered the parts on Amazon and made the repairs. Maytag Centennial with commercial parts, part # 80040, which fits Kenmore and Whirlpool models as well. Thanks for helping make us smarter and self sufficient!
This video saved me a hundred dollar maintenance call. Parts were $8 and 10 minutes to fix. Only difference- my series 70 Kenmore has a nylon cap (bolt) that takes a half inch socket to remove.
Wasn't sure what was wrong but with your help, $7 and 1/2 hour I'm good to go.
Special thanks for the"test" at the start.
Thank You!!! I have a thirdhand washer that has served me well, and I'm not ready to give up on it. I'll be giving this a shot!!
Weezie63, you are the best! Just fixed our own machine. Saved us so much money!
Thank you Weezie 63!!!!! Your video and explanation were so easy to follow and understand. You helped save us a lot of money.
Thank you for taking the time to post this repair video now I can fix my own without my Mom having a coronary. ScottG.
Thank you for the video, we thought something major broke, but with a few bucks and a few minutes,,,you saved us some extra cash. Thx again
Thanks!!! Your vid keeps on giving. You just saved me $200. Love your style.
Thank you sooooo much, Weezie! You made fixing my washer so easy and understandable. You helped me save a lot of money. Keep making these videos. You rock!
I resorted to some brute force to separate the two parts of the agitator, then was able to proceed with the rest of the job. I am mechanically & technically challenged. BUT it was an easy fix. Just like you showed. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for posting...helped me fix something that I got an estimate that said "too costly to repair".
Just fixed it thanks! Had a hard time keepin the dogs in when tryin to put it back in but after a few grunts and creativity it all stayed together. Thanks, Trisha
My husband is in Afghanistan and we only see him twice per year. That being said, if something breaks at home, I either have to figure it out or call someone. Thanks to videos like your's, I don't have to pay someone out the nose to fix something simple!
