OMG, I really did i!. Thanks Matt your video was great. I saved $116 by doing it myself. Repair guy would have gladly come over for $49.95 service all plus $80 for repair. for a total of $130. I told him on the phone that I wanted to try it myself first. I bet he said "dang" under his breath, "those DIYers, I just can't fool 'em". I just had to buy an extension for my socket and the part from a local store for my agit dogs (didn't need kit) and I was good to go. My husband has been calling me the "Maytag Repairman" (even though it was a Whirlpool). THANKS AGAIN MATT!

Excellent! Thank you. You turned what would have been days of unnecessary work, expensive spend and frustration into a simple and enjoyable task. I gladly buy you the parts this time and will come back next time one of my appliances breaks down. Congratulations for a work very well done.

On Thursday Sept 12th I ordered the parts, on Friday Oct 13 the parts arrived at my home and just now we installed the pieces!!! OMG you and your company are GREAT seriously the BEST!!! thank you so much!!!

The video was great. Very informative and easy to follow. We discovered the "dogs" were broken and had the problem fixed in no time. Thanks so much for posting this!

You folks are the greatest, to see the repair completed along with the explaination is just too good. Or SIMPLY BRILLIANT as the Brits would say. Please carry on. B.J. Ackley

I watched 10 of these video's and you are the only person that mentions grease and where to put it. Great detail, thanks.

You are awesome! I ordered the parts from your store, they were delivered on the second day, 10 minutes later I'm washing laundry! Thank you so much!

Three observations: First, these videos are outstanding. You can save a lot of money by watching and following along as Matt describes each step. Second, I'm introducing these videos as part of a new drinking game. It's simple: Every time Matt says "go ahead," everybody takes a drink. ;) Third, I'm naming the new band "Agitator Dogs."

Thank you for a thorough and detailed video. Unknowingly, I removed the base tabs per the installation instructions for the Thrust Washer Kit 285587 that was in the Agitator Repair Kit for 285811. grrrrr!! When I contacted Whirlpool they put the incorrect instructions in the 285811 kit, they would not assist and told me to look on KZfaq for how to reinstall the auger to the agitator. Since you mentioned this detail to install the agitator and auger separately, you have save me considerable hours of frustration thinking I did something wrong. Thanks for your video!!!

Worked like a charm. Great video! Took me longer to gather the tools than it did to do the job.

This was awesome! I had my washing machine back up and running properly in no time :D

This guy is the Bob Ross of appliance repair. I love it.

Great video. Thank you. You just saved me a lot of money. I was going to buy a new washer. I just ordered the complete kit for under $20. :)

Thanks for this great video, can the agitator make the machine shake alot like its off balance? When its spinning, the machine whats to walk around and if I hold the agitator while its spinning its all good

Thank you so much for doing these videos!!!

Check the pump and drain lines for any obstructions that would stop the machine from draining. You could also have a bad clutch/brakes that could cause the drum not to spin up to full speed, which would make the clothes come out wet. You can go to our forum and do a search for " Replacing direct drive washer brake shoes" this will give you the thread that gives all the info about the brakes and clutch.

Marco Myre, I cannot respond as you have the reply feature off. I would start with checking to be sure all the feet are level. Then check the springs and the support structure. The agitator should not really cause an off balance issue but make sure you check it for damage or wear.

Thank you so much for this informative video. You made it look so easy. I purchased the repair kit from your website and installed the parts in less than 15 mins. I'll take the cost of the parts over an expensive repairman any day. Do me a favor though, don't tell my wife that it was this easy.

Most times if the washer wont spin it is the lid switch, it acts like a safety switch that stops the washer from spinning if the lid is open. If it is failing or damaged it may be working intermittently.

This video was very helpful. I give it 5+ stars. My washer is back to agitating. Thanks so much.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for posting this!

Thank you - I see that you do also have a video for just replacing the agitator dogs, in case the other agitator components are still good. Guess I need to figure out how to search better. Good on ya!

Thanks for your video, very helpful!

Instructions done right! Step by step

Excellent video very helpful. Great Job

Hi, My Kenmore top loader washer works fine but at the end of spinning cycle it makes a radling, banging sound this started after I fixed a waterleak in the plastic tub, I did replace one of the springs because of rust. Any suggestions? Thanks Bart

I love DIY repair videos, and these are very good. My Whirlpool (Kenmore 110.20912991) actually has a significant difference in disassembling, as there is a plastic retainer that must be removed (using a 1/2" socket drive) before gaining access to the 7/16" bolt. Also, I'm wondering why not just replace the agitator dogs (for about $3), versus the entire agitator cam repair kit (about $17-$25, depending on your model)?

I love washers and dryers and this is interesting to watch I get that feeling

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to fix my agitator now...thanks! Question: is white grease the same as white lithium grease? I (google) searched for white grease and all I'm seeing is white lithium grease.

Thank you for your video it helped me a lot!

Yes, lithium grease will work great!

Most washers are off level because their feet are not adjusted to the floor. On this type of washer the rear legs are self adjusting and the fronts need to be adjusted with a wrench. To adjust the rear feet you have to tilt the washer forward so the rear feet are off the ground this lets the rear feet drop down, then lower the washer, they lock in place as they touch the floor. Make sure the rubber pads on the feet are ok. If the legs check out it could be a more serious suspension issue.

Very helpful! My husband fixed my washer in about 25 minutes for less than $20! Our "dogs" were not grabbing...

I took the lid switch off a couple months ago it worked fine until 2 weeks ago. Could it be the Agitator?

Is there a layer of grease that goes onto the metal bolt/onto the metal of the hub that holds the agitator?

Thank you sir for this very helpful video. Was finally able to fix my grandparents washer. :-D

Because of you I save 150$ thanks a lot !!!

My washer wont agitate but will spin. I have a maytag centennial commercial technology and I have checked the dogs which are fine, I have checked the motor cuplets and the clutch assembly is just fine I don't know what the problem is. Is there anything you can tell me to check next. Just the machine wont agitate and everything else is fine. I don't spin as fast but it will spin.

I have an older g.e. washer that leaks terribly underneath. I have reached under it, and found that the "boot" that seals the bottom of the tub is not in place. Looking back over the years, I seem to remember fixing this problem on another washer, but I cant even get the agitator off of this one. I can see that it is on a spline shaft, because the tip of the agitator is broken off which would indicate to me that it comes straight up. I tried straps, and a 7 foot 2x4 lever, but it won't budge.

Replaced the dogs with a repair kit and I'm still not getting any agitation. The top auger engages the bottom agitator now that the dogs are replaced, but the latter has worn splines. Would that keep it from functioning? I already ordered a new bottom agitator, but is there something else I'm missing? The machine makes all the right noises like it's working, but if I crack the lid and peak in, nothing is happening.

Thank you for the video. It helped alot.

If you go to our website and enter part number AP3094544 you will see that kit and the video on how to change it.

Those boot seals have been discontinued by G.E. but are available aftermarket, here is the part number to enter on our site: AP5183580. As far as getting the agitator off that's another story, they used to make a water bladder that you could put under it to get it off but I don't think you will find one, as these machines haven't been made for about 20 years. I would say let some penetrating oil sink in and try the straps again.

"Dogs" is short for Directional Cogs. Love the video.

gah! I forgot to order grease. Would silicone spray work?

Nice job on the video. Thank you.

i have a maytag hav2360aww model how can i move the body to check if the motor is burnt my washing machine stop from working on the last cicle and smell like rubber burning . need some help i don't have a clue if is the motor or the belt any help i will appreciate. thanks

Look for one with four bolts under the first cap? Any leads

The lid switch is a safety switch and shouldn't be removed. I would replace it and see if that takes care of the problem.

I have tried taking the bolt off the agitator but it will not come off i tried holding do the agitator and still wont un screw.. any idea why?

Thank you. Ended up repairing my machine by just replacing the dogs. $6.00 !! :)

I hope you are still reading the comments. My two agitator parts are already separated so how do I put them back together so the top is bolted to the bottom? I must be missing something that connects the two because I can take out the bolt out without going down the top part of the agitator. I have the items you show excluding the dust cover. Do I need to order that? I just can't figure out why my two agitator sections are already apart. The previous owner must of and that's why it felt like it was flopping around and not snug. If you read this I would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks!

My agitator seems to be stuck. Am I forgetting something??? The bolt has been removed. LOTS of upward force, but nothing.

great someone actualy knows what a dog is kinda funny even some of the (mechanics) on you tube seem perplexed by the name. Thanks for a great how too!

If I opened the water on it, it would come down from the bottom, so how can I keep it?

¡muy bueno! ¡Grasias!

I can wash a load a clothes it sometimes it will wash, drain and spin with no problem, Then sometimes I'll wash a load it will wash, drain then it won't spin. What could be causing it? Thanks..

After replacing my clutch, I thought I was home free, then the agitator came apart into 15 pieces ... thanks !

Do these parts also come in a metal alloy? Plastic makes no sense because it strips too easy when washing heavy loads.

IF I HAVE A WASHING MACHINE OFF BALANCE WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT AND STOP THE THE LOUD NOISE! I WANT TO MAKE MY WASHER QUITE AGAIN!!!! PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT SHOULD I DO!!! PLEASE OR WHERE I COULD GO TO HAVE SOMEONE FIX IT!!

my washer doesnt drain the load completely... clothes were still soakin wet but it spins after the rinsing cycle... whats wrong with my washer pls??? HELP!!!

I have removed the agitator but can not remove the dust cap or separate the top from the bottom. I have a GE Mod GLWN2800DOW. Any suggestions?

I can't get my agitator apart every video they pull apart so easy. Any thoughts of what's happening here?

Bought the kit but all I needed were the agitator dogs and rubber gasket. everything else was reusable . thank you

i have an ammana and there no nut,just a spindle,how do i get it out??

Dude! Thanks! 🤘

The dust cap will not come out. I tried using pliers but fear damaging the cap. How can I get it out without damaging the cap?

Thanks, SOCOACH50! We've been waiting for someone to call Matt out on it :) You're first!

how do you fix the washer tub if it's not lining up after a move?

What if the agitator fell off. Do I fix it the same way?

Where is Matt? I like him as the pitchman for this channel!
