You'll need the actual model number to better check for the problem.įirst, I'd remove the top agitator (as you've already done), then I'd remove the main agitator. There are a number of Series 80 design washers. This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.įirst, see the Sears parts site for your washer:Įnter your model number and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts. Let me know if you have any other questions.I hope this will FixYa. If you look down inside the agitator you will see two little clips that you will need to line up. You should be able to install the new ones fairly easily and then just line the top of tha agitator up with the bottom and push it back down into place. The top will not pop off the bottom and you will be able to see the four little tear shaped gears called DOGS.

Once you have done that the agitator will lift off. Then you will need to unscrew the bolt that you see in the bottom. Then reach down inside the agitator and pull out the next little cover. It will have a small spot to insert a screwdriver and pop it off. Then pop off the top lid of the agitator. To get to the agitator dogs you will remove your fabric softner dispenceer, if you have one. The set of four cost about $8.00 and are available at any appliance parts store. If the top is not working properly, you will need the 4 little gears inside the top calle d agitator dogs. If the entire agitator is not moving you will have to replace it.
