5 minutes in watching your video and I had to take a break. I was getting anxiety😂

Thanks for documenting the process fully. I thought I was only one having that much trouble getting that plate off.

Most accurate video on this process. Well done

Don't forget to recalibrate your washer after reinstall. Set dial to top (normal). Then click it left, right, right, right, left, right, and all the lights will turn on. Then turn the dial clockwise to the most down/ South position, and hit start. It will self calibrate for a minute and do a little dance.

Thank you Already fix my working like knew. Easy to understand. GOD BLESS YOU. 🎉

I have this exact washer, and I just took it completely apart and back together today. W the hub, it is plastic but the mating surfaces/threads are metal. problem w my hub was that the metal teeth in the plastic hub had rusted to the shaft. I had to use penetrating oil and 3 inflatable shimming bags to pop the agitator plate off. 3 hours of working it 😑. Just FYI for anyone else wrestling with this.

I have had to do that 3 times to replace the clip under there. What I do is only 1 vice grip like you did there and an L shaped pick in a hole opposite that.( Just choose a hole kind of even to your vice grip side) then as you pull up go RIGHT UP.... LEFT UP... RIGHT UP ... LEFT UP... Until it loosens. It takes some time, but it works. Trust me. I hurt myself, pulling like that. I don't have the strength like that.

i used a shoelace of all things to wiggle it off. I am in no way strong nor TALL. but I managed to get the shoelace under it and wiggle back and forth and walk it off. works for me

Thanks for the technique!

great idea for fix it..thanks so much, greethings from baja mexico

If you screw the bolt most of the way back in and tap it wit a hammer it will release pretty easily...had mine apart in less than 15 minutes

This was the hardest thing to get out, was the agitator plate. I duct taped to the inside across the agitator arms, and then put a broom handle over the opening and used it as like a come along System, and tapped on it as I was ratcheting. Finally broke loose. I had tried putting knives and I could get one knife under one side, but it was too tight for the other side so it had to come straight up and I did not want to damage my agitator

I can get the hub out without any problems. From everything I have read and watched the basket should just easily lift out. I need to get my basket out for a different issue. Anyone have any ideas?

Everything about this machine is stupid i have worked on several these poorly designed washer plastic junk .

I used a small dog lead and pulled it up that way

After you get the screw out, all you have to do is hit the insite the hole with a something a few times and the adgitator comes right off

I cant get my drive hub to come past the spindle the groves on it sit out farther then the drive hub? Any sdvice

Went to dry my work shirts last and noticed they were a lot more damp than normal. Hit the spin cycle and it did this exact thing. I'm hoping it's not chewed up like your's but I'm crossing my fingers it is just the $20 basket hub. Did you have to recalibrate it by running the diagnostics?

Replaced shift actuator, splutch,w/belt w/pulley , and plastic tub hub . Hardly spins, very slow any ideas thanks

Ok so this might help me. My shaft teeth are worn also. I put a brand new hub on and the basket still didn’t turn with the plate. It’s supposed to be like a solid unit right?

With worn Trans Shaft The Metal Hub kit doesn’t work as long as the plastic. Tried them. With the Worn down teeth on the shaft, you need a new Trans/Gear Housing or a new Wash Machine.

I am trying to take the cover off but it's not working can I use dish soap

Ben's appliances, has a metal hub repair kit,to fixthis problem

have you ever had the bolt not come loose? My agitator spins freely, when I try to loosen the bolt, I hold the drum, but the bolt does not loosen!!

I have replaced hub once already. I used two part epoxy last time because shaft teeth were worn down some. Here I am, two years later, hub stripped out again today. I ordered a new hub and gonna use JB Weld too. Mt question is, HOW in the hell does the shaft teeth get worn down? I don't see how the plastic hub can wear metal down!! These washers are terrible. The hub and other parts give out prematurely because the washer doesn't use enough water. It's a terrible strain on the machine, trying to move around wet clothes with so little water.

We have the same exact washer and the hub stripped out yesterday. Ours is only 2yrs old and the shaft splines look very deteriorated. I ordered a new hub but I’m a little hesitant to put it on without doing some kind of rigging. What do you think about drilling a small hole in the shaft for a pin.

I guess the obvious question is how do metal teeth wear out against plastic? Someone f’d up that shaft.

How is it holding up?

So the hub teeth wore out? The hub kit is like $30 though. Pain in the ass to have to keep changing it but it should do, no?

Loosen bolt screw on half way hold plate with a rubber glove for grip tap bolt with hammer. Tighten a little and repeat. It’ll come off

The transmission is $160

First remove the c-ring.
