And now I can retrieve my change from under the darn thing! Thank you
Thank you! I got a drawstring caught in my dependable old Kenmore and could not dislodge it. With your video and the purchase of a socket wrench extender, I was able to remove the agitator, free the drawstring, and put the agitator back on. Saved me a service call. Thanks for the detailed step by step.
Now this is the one that finally helped me. Saved $150 thank you for the slow thorough and well lit explanation
You have the best videos on appliance repair. Thankyou.
Thanks man! Glad to learn from a professional then a know nothing, never touched a tool kind of guy. Great vid 👍
Thanks,
your video helped me remove the agitator to remove a cloth that was stuck and tangled under it....
big help.👍🏻
Excellent! Glad it was helpful!
i came here to remove the softener compartment ty! its way easier than i thought it would be
Simple and flawless.
Thank you for making it easy!!
huge thank you. this saved me. really helpful instructions.
Why did you need to get a new agitator??? I can’t think of any reason why anybody would need to get a new one if there’s one already in there….
Great job on video! Left ink pen in pants pocket and it got stuck under the agitated. It was throwing ink out on laundry. Be watching the video I was able to remove agitator easily and remove the ink cartridge. Thank you so very much. Randy from Tennessee
thank you I am a visual person and I need to see what your doing each step. not one video showed that you have to push the top agitator down to lock it down. I knew it shouldn't be lose but I couldn't figure it out. if this doesn't work I am going to take a sledge hammer to the stupid thing.
THANK YOU!!
Awsome! Thank you
Our agitator bolt has sheared off....how can we get that out? Thank you
Oh....it just looked like it was broken (and missing!) we used the square piece of the 1/2” extension to get further down!
My model 70 top loader did not have the 7/16th bolt. It had a plastic square cage that screwed onto a bolt underneath. I had to MacGyver a square approximately 3/4" to break the cage loose, and I was then able to proceed with a successful repair.
How did you make the square? I have the problem!!!
Ours is a horrific noise when it agitates, especially when full, do you think its the same problem?
Thanks for the excellent video but what was wrong with the the parts was it the screw-agitator or the ratchet dog agitator that was the problem?
I have a Kenmore 300 washing machine and when we put towels or my nylon nightgowns in there or panties it tears holes in them. Do you have any idea why it's doing that and how do I stop it? Thank you for your help 🙂
The screw inside true agitator has dissolved completely. How do I take it out? I am only able to remove the top
what model number was the the machine with the larger dispenser? my model sticker is missing...
I have a Kenmore 80 series washing machine probably 25 years old your video was great thank you very much
Is there a drive mechanism under the agitator assembly that would cause the agitator to not agitate? I've replaced the cogs and the rest of the agitator looks to be in good condition; however, the agitator will not spin or agitate. Thank you.
There is a motor coupler, and a clutch ring that tend to age and need replaced. I just completed replacing both of those, problem solved, only reason I checked this video was simply because I forgot where one piece went in reinstalling the agitator. Check out Bill Newberry here on you tube.
Is that 7/16 bolt holding down the agitator a left hand thread?
The way he's turning it, and from what other how-tos say, it's a normal right-handed thread.
Also works on older machines

got screw out but can't remove agitator out
Where i can buy some parts here in vancouver area?
Hello, I am not sure of local parts suppliers in your area. I would suggest to search your manufacture to see if they have any stores in your area.
I have to be doing something wrong. I put everything back the way its showing and when i go add the fabric softener it just spills out of the bottom. Where as b4 i took it apart, it held the liquid until the cycle was finished. Im not sure what i am doing wrong.
Anytime you move the softener cup loosely in your hands and there’s liquid inside of it it’s gonna dump out immediately because the way that those work is that as soon as it clicks into the first spin after the wash cycle it’ll be sucked into the inner parts of the fabric softener cup where it’ll whirl around until it stops spinning the load and fills for the rinse cycle and once it stops spinning it’ll all drip out of the dispenser from the force of the spin cycle immediately. That’s why if your direct drive Kenmore or Whirlpool slips into spin during drain where it should neutral drain it’ll stop spinning where it would normally stop draining and click into the spin cycle before the first rinse and if u got softener in it’ll dump it right out and drain away, simply because when the neutral dream pack goes when it’s supposed to neutral drain it’ll start spinning and it’ll spin during the whole time and those machines aren’t designed to do that but it’s such a common issue with these machines even on my own too and it’s not easy to repair But when you have a washer that’s slipping into spin when it should be neutral draining on these Kenmore is whirlpools whatever after the main drain cycle is over it stops completely which means if it slipped into spin it’s going to stop and dump all the softener out and then it’ll click into the main spin before the rinse cycle hope that makes sense it’s not easy to explain over a message
Mine doesn't have a bolt!
I have a silk robe stuck at the bottom of the agitator . . . I removed the bult but the agitator is not coming off
Any solution? I’m having a similar problem.
I got the bolt off but the agitator will not come off and blouse caught under it did you get a reply
I could not remove the agitator either, but apparently my pulling and pushing of the agitator loosened something, and I was able to finally pull the caught fabric free!
What's the part #?
I have a question. We have Kenmore 700 model, but with no agitator: is it possible to install the agitator for this model? If it is, then what kind of agitator will fit this model?
On your Kenmore model there should be a tag with model and serial number on it. Kenmore's model number will have 3 numbers followed by a dot and then 8 numbers for example 665.45842300. Please provide the full model number and I can check to see if you are able to install an agitator for your model.
How much it cost me the whole assembly parts?
Hi, what is your model number? I can check price and availability for you.
lefty loosey?
U don't need a flat head screwdriver turn the whole thing and pull it ok much faster and easier
Never mind don't use a flathead screwdriver just turn it then pull
There is no tab to remove the top; it is plain white and I see no way to remove it.
My agitator top section doesn't want to separate to access the dogs
On my Kenmore 800 Series Model 110.22352511, at one spot on the lower edge of that top piece, there is a very tiny gap. I put the tip of a short standard screwdriver in there, twisted it, and the top came right off.
Yo didn’t show us how to take off the top part, and just jump to assembly. 😟
That's what's holding me up, the top agitator won't separate
You removed the dispenser wrong you turn it and pull
Don't discard the old one give it to me because I am a collector of agitators if you can do that cool!!!!
