My boyfriend called a repairman last week to come today and never showed up. Got tired of our washer never draining. Thank you sooo much for posting this, I can't explain how helpful it was when I wanted to just do it myself lol

This tutorial has been the most useful one that I've watched to figure out how to remove the cover and clean out the muck. This was my third attempt and I finally did it. Thank you so much for explaining it and showing it in an easy to understand way.

I just watched this video and fixed my washer all by myself, had a bunch of change stuck in it!! Thank you for the easiest video to follow along too!!!

Thank you for posting this! Had to wash some kitty-soiled towels recently and wanted to make sure the drains didn't get gummed with litter and you-know-what-else. Got the agitator off and found that the drains were all clear! Your tutorial let me get peace of mind.

Thank you so much!!!! You are the only one who demonstrated how to get the bolt out!!! Ours is stuck and I had to ask my husband for help... He couldn't get it loose without possibly tearing up the tub... So this is great!!! I also used WD40 and let it set a bit... I put a desk lamp or an engine light up above my machine to be able to see inside just a suggestion... Great Video!!!

I just got a used s500 and viewed your video... so my thinking was let’s clean it before we start using it... I found over $2 plus a necklace... thank you for the video.👍👍

Just the advice I was looking for. Thank you for posting.

Thank you so much, the wiggle part works and was the key for the Kenmore 600 Series as well (600s) specifically.

Thank you found about a buck of change. Saved me money THANK YOU!!

Thanks for taking the time and making this video and saving me a ton of money!!!!

Well I just took out about $1.34 in change. All the ports had coins except one. Poor Kenmoore. Thank you for posting.

hey those guys call them self professionals thanks ur viedeo helped alot more than they did great job.

I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this is. I loathe this washer and dryer combo… but maybe doing this will make me hate it less.

Thank you so much for the video! I’m having trouble with a loud noise when it’s washing it’s like a clicking noise. I would love to try this technique and again thank you but I’m sure my husband‘s either going to call over repair person or will get a new washer and dryer lol!I am going to look up and see if you have a video on what I just mentioned though. Merry Christmas!

Couldn’t figure out how to get the agitator up and out. Thanks for the demo!!

Thank you so much for this video! We found $2.50 and saved a ton of money

Very helpful video Thanks brother

I tried to un-loosen the wash plate but I just kept on making it more loose…how is it possible to wiggle and pop and unloosen simultaneously?

Thank you so much it helped alot.

Life saver . Thank you

Something sound like it hits when trying to pull up the impeller and won’t budge I’ve tried everything ???? What can I do

I lifted my washer up off the ground by the agitator and it still won't come off. We washed a few loads after removing the bolt, dumped scalding hot water in it, sprayed wd-40 around it. Even with vice grips and pliers on the blue spines lifting and someone tapping the hub with a no bounce it just won't come up. I don't get a click or thunk when I pull up on the tub, when I pull up on the agitator the tub comes with it and maxed out at top of travel. I'm a lil perturbed.

Even after I removed the coin, there was still a lot of noise. What should then? Also thank you for this video it was very helpful!

Hey cabj 185,I didn't notice which way the arrow in the tub was supposed to point to,does it matter ? Lemme know please ? Thanks bud👍🏻

Any ideas what to do my center screw won't come out and I don't want to strip it

Can we change the tub seal from here?

Hello, the lid lock light doesn't light up, and the machine is not draining. What could be wrong with it?

I need to replace the drive shaft that drives that agitator any idea what the part number would be

Cool! Thanks brother

I have this exact same washer. It won't spin out the water. It starts to spin and then makes a horrible noise and then stops. I found screws and nails in it and took them out (out of my pocket) and am wondering if something got through the holes and into something causing this?

What should I check if it won’t go past the rinse cycle?

Thank you for taking the time to make this video even though it was so hard for you with one hand. I still appreciate how much you’re willing to share your expertise. I’m going to give it a try now.

Ive been wiggling for past hour mines still stuck

Thank you for your detailed video. Tell me, where can I find its filter in order to clean it? I can't find it on the back of the machine.

What size screw it is? I lost mines

Anyone know how to remove the tub portion or know where to find a video of it? I need to replace the suspension rods. I have a 600 and very similar to the washer

Thanks a million, problem solved👍

How tight was the bolt the first time, i ended up stripping it. Got an extractor but still too hard and will not budge. Tried impact drill, channel locks, the hammer (did you tap it or hit it hard? Right on the nut?)

The bottom won’t loosen and come up what do I do

This video was awesome. Able to clean the whole bottom of our machine. Do you know how to take the top off so we can clean the inside of the drum too?

I have same washer shakes like a car wreck any tips +soaking wet clothes

When you try and break pr loosen the nut the tub spins with it. Is this normal? If so what's the best way to hold it in place while I turn the wrench?

While holding the agitator loosen the 7/16 bolt partially. Then lightly tap the top of the bolt and the agitator will pop off the shaft.

I just wanna know how to remove that stupid tub nut.. damn thing wont move.. would it unscrew clockwise or ccl? What you use to grab aholt and screw the thing?

I have this same washer 500 series (looks exactly like yours) except the inside has a tower with the softener hole at top. It is not spinning my clothes dry…they’re soaking wet! But there’s no water left like it’s not draining…just clothes are wet

I wish you would have shown how you put it back together. Seems simple but did you encounter any difficulties?

Same washer. Tried several times... it did not come off 😭😭😭. Great vid though

Does anybody have a manual for this washer . I just bought a used one and not sure wen is right time to put detergent and softener in washer

Where is the filter on this Machine?

Leave the bolt halfway threaded in and tap on the head with a hammer while pulling up on the agitator. Mine was 11mm not 7/16s

I have the same washer..mines makes a weird noise. The lid locks then the rinse light flashes..also my impeller is pretty wobbly?? Would greatly appreciate the help...

My kenmore washer 500 it's not spinning what can I do to fix it???

Hi, I have been jerking the tub up, wiggling the agitator & pulling on the agitator on my kenmore series 500 washer to no avail, do u think that some retained water could b causing the washer to jump & buck around? Thanks Richard

I have the same washer and it is out of balance. The springs seem to be fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on what it could be?

Hey Lance. Have a question regarding take the agitation out. We flowed your instructions. The problem where having now it getting the agitator out it's really stuck!! Help!!

What a good video, I already saw the coins, but I am having troubles taking out the white lid, any suggestions?

Hello I have a kenmore series 500 I just bought it a few weeks back and it will not spin at all it rinses,drines fine but it will just not spin do you know what’s wrong with it?

I was a washing a small load of clothes today and I noticed that the machine was agitating a little louder than usual and when I came back to check on it; the completed green light was on, but my clothes were full of water as if the machine didn't rinse them properly. I then turn the switch on rinse and drain and it sounded like the motor and belt were spinning, but the inside barrel of the machine was not spinning. It sounded like maybe a belt was slipping or something? It started to spin, but wasn't spinning continuously or fast as usual.

Thank you.

I have the same washer you got I tried everything to pull out the impeller and it won’t come out any suggestions

I have this exact washer and I am having problems with it draining all the way,when I pull my clothes out they r still very wet,I can hear it draining when it's running and it's making a weird noise during the rinse and spin cycle, any ideas

I have that same unit, can you or anyone tell me why none of the wash cycles (EXCEPT THE BEDDING/BULKY ONE) use very much water? The clothes seem to get wet but you can only see little if any water in the tub. No way to use fabric softener because there's not enough water in the rinse cycle either. Not sure how it cleans. Bulky/bedding fills up fine. Thanks

Do you know how to fix the agitator if it stops spinning? Mine sounds like it’s grinding. Same make and model as yours.

Hi, mine spins 3 rounds only and leaves the clothes wet. Any advise please

How do you put fabric softener in this machine?

Thank you for this; but what about if the machine makes noise and stops spinning? The when you turned it off it continues to try to spin

That plate not as easy as it looks. Still can’t remove it. It’s really stuck on there. Any other way to remove wash plate?

It will not just pop up like that . Mine was on there tight as shit. Used some CLR and other solutions to loosen up . Soaked hot water then looped to hangers through holes on separate sides. Put my whole body weight into it n it still wouldn’t come off . Tapped around with rubber mallet while pulling hangers and wala .

Yes, just like to pass alone somethings that i learned. Did you find any coins?

My screw is SO snug- I’m struggling to get it loose.

Did this when it wouldn’t drain. Every port was clogged with coins except for one. Thought for sure that it would solve the problem with draining. There is no filter and have had everything apart looking for a clog and found nothing of significants. It seems to be getting thrown out of the cycle with just 4 pairs of jeans.

What's causing a burning smell after spin?

Where's the filter or is that how u clean the debri. There also a clean washer setting what's that for if u have to take that grap apart ?

What else can a person do to take that top with blue off,,couldn't remove it as the video shiwed

Thank You🙏

Where does the fabric softener go?

This round piece is held in by something more it hits loudly and is impossible to lift up. Even after popping the tub

Just did this, the bolt is super tight. Get a socket 7/16ths, then use a hammer and keep tapping on it counter clock wise holding the bottom piece with your thumb. Once it’s off. Banging it did not work for me, get two pair of channel locks, grab it in the center/ outside where the bolt center is. Rock it back and fourth and pull up. Only place to grab on it. Every port hole was filled with change. Use needle nose and screw driver to get it out

Is the agitator usually locked in tightly or is suppose to be loose when put back in its original place ?

I struck it rich!! I couldn't believe the amount of coins stuck down there.....I am now a millionaire....thanks so much for your help.....

mine is draining, but not spinning "dry" so i have to do 2-3 extra spin cycles -- what might be causing that?

I cant seem to get mine to come up. We keep wiggling it. But its stuck

How do you add Detergent to this kinda washer?

Thank you

You don’t pull the tub up the tub is locked into place and can not slide up you pull on the mettle stud and not on the fins

Dupree?

My spinner wont come off remove bolt & still try pop off & wouldn't come off??

Can you tell how to fix your washer when it’s off balance

I unplugged the machine, did the whole process.. plugged it back in, now it won’t turn on, HELP!!

Mine is stuck and I cannot get it off. Feels like its hitting something!

mine wont come off lol been doing it for almost hour i gave up ran a cleaning cycle

Am I the only one that can’t figure out how to balance this washing machine? I distribute the clothes out very evenly around the perimeter of the washer and every single time in the spin cycle It shakes very violently! Does anyone have any tips on the best way to distribute the clothes around in there evenly so it doesn’t get out of balance? It is level as far as where it is sitting!

Mines won't agitate

Can't get the adjetator out smh

I cleaned mine out and it still doesn’t spin out clothes all the way

I can't figure out how to get the agitator out? I have the cap off and bolt out. But its not coming off

En español quiero lo de Ken More serie 500

To tell you honestly, that f cover is not letting go so i put the f screw back on and forgot about me cleaning the wholes where coins and all of that debri is located at, so f that!!!

En español porque nomás llega al segundo ciclo use para mí Kenmor

What if it started smelling like death out of no where and shakes alot 🥴
