Kenmore series 90 upper agitator disassembly

I recently had a common problem with the Kenmore and Whirlpool washers. The clutch dogs had worn to the point that the washer no longer agitated properly and therefore the clothes were not getting clean. Other videos have this topic pretty much covered. The only problem I ran into was that the upper agitator assembly differs from those I could find.
Rather than using a ratchet with an extension and 7/16 socket to remove a metal nut, this particular model has a plastic nut that has a 1/2 inch square hole. To remove the plastic nut a 1/2 inch ratchet extension, without any socket, can fit in the hole and remove the nut. Unfortunately none of my ratchets are of the 1/2 inch size. I found that a 5/8 inch flat auger bit will fit corner to corner and will work to remove the plastic nut from the center of the upper agitator assembly. In addition to the difference mentioned above, I also noticed that on this model the upper agitator will come off without the lower agitator. This makes it a little easier to manage when swapping out the clutch dogs.
Part # 80040 Agitator Dogs was the part that fixed the issue with my washer. I got my replacement parts from Amazon for just under $4. They are a common part and easy to find at just about any service store that carries washer parts. They are usually inexpensive. This is a really easy and inexpensive DIY fix. If you think the clutch dogs in your washer need replacing, don't hesitate to follow the steps in this or other videos and check them for wear and replace them as needed.
Always unplug appliances before attempting any kind of service.
As always, I am not responsible if you cause damage to your washer. I did not use the correct tool in the video. It worked for me, without causing damage, but I cannot guarantee your results will be the same. I would always recommend using the correct tool. If you follow the directions in this or other videos on this topic, you shouldn't have any issue with causing damage.

Exactly what I was looking for! I couldn't find a video of that type of agitator with the square plastic thing in the middle. The agitator dogs are available for about $3.50 on Parts Direct. Beats having Sears come out an charge me $150! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a 60 year old woman who decided to replace the clutch assembly myself and couldn't find help to remove this type of agitator. The end of a large socket extension fit perfectly into the plastic piece to remove it. And the nut was 9/16" on my agitator. Now onto the clutch. Thanks again.

Hey thanks! I was at the store 2x before I found your video, and I'm working on exactly the same machine! I went ahead and purchased the 1/2" socket and extension, but then found, as you said, that the plastic nut was not in very tightly - turns out I could loosen it with my finger! Just a head's up so others can try that before buying anything . . . doing a load of laundry RIGHT NOW! YAY!

Thank you so much. Was racking my brain on how to remove that central retainer. 5/8in paddle was brilliant. I used a 3/4in chisel. Turned it out by hand. So easy. Replace the agitator dogs and doing a heavy load right now to test. Looking good!

Your video was very helpful. I also did not know how to get that center piece out as all other videos talked about the nut. I did not have the 1/2 in socket of even a 5/8 drill bit, I did howver have a large Craftsman vise grip and the the handle grip was just the right sixe to fit down into opening like the drill bit would and loosen it up. I am now agitating away. Kudo's to you my friend.

Like the other person said ,had to look through a dozen vids to find this one, that has all of the info for my 90. Especially that little square plastic holder/keeper. That prevents you from grabbing the nut . 5/8 drillbit is key.. That was the best info ! the part number is 80040.. I will buy two for this round last another two years with heavy use of rugs/blankets. 15 minutes work. .Great old machines. ..THANKS

Perfect. I kept seeing the “you’ll find a 7/16 nut” videos and I’m thinking “NOPE” - and the insert unscrewed with a finger. Yahoo! Nice idea about the paddle bits, though. I’m filing that away for future reference. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
