1105072011 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

I first removed the fabric softener dispenser by pulling up on the blue lock ring. Then I removed the agitator cap by pulling up on the top of it. Next I took a 7/16 socket and removed the bolt holding the agitator. At this time I removed the whole agitator by pulling straight up from the bottom of the agitator. I then took the old agitator kit out & replaced it with a new one. I put the agitator back together & placed it back over the shaft. Installed the 7/16 bolt, agitator cap & the dispenser, job done. The agitator is working great. This is a real easy job to do & only takes about 15 min's. The part comes with good instructions, all you need to do is follow them. PartSelect is a great place to get parts. This is the second time I have ordered parts from them on-line. Always had my parts in a couple of days.

Popped agitator cap with screwdriver, used socket + extension to remove assembly locking bolt. Pulled entire agiataor out and pulled off top unit. Pieces of pawls fell out so replacement pieces needed were obvious. I ordered the entire replacement pawl unit which came in 5 days (including weekend). Reassembly was pretty obvious following included diagram. Put the agitator unit back in and secured with assembly bolt. Tested by hand and my wife put in a load while thanking me profusely. Washer may not last for another 12 years, but it was worth the $20 just to not have to go shopping for a replacement yet!

instaled the new patrs from kit (old dog ears were worn out ) works great
easy fix
partselect a great help
fast service

Removed cover, removed bolt and assembled new agitator cam and installed. Took less than 10 minutes. VERY EASY!!!

At first I had to position the washer so I could get access.. after having it positioned, I figured it out. Getting the clamp fastened, I was done.

I taught I might have to replace the whole machine. Then I realize we had power but the latch and lock assembly wasn't locking for the machine to lock and start to wash. Unplug the washer, took the top off of washer, unscrew two bolts from latch assembly, replace latch assembly and two bolts. then unscrew two bolts from lock and replace it. Machine works great now.

Took the back of the control panel off, lifted the top of the washing machine up took off nuts holding the latch lock off, installed the new parts put back together. Piece of cake...because i got the right parts the first time. Thank you PartSelect.

I could not separate the upper part from the lower part of the agitator as easily as it was shown on the video. Then I realized I would have to physically cut the horizontal tab of the upper agitator from the vertical tab of the lower agitator (they were manufactured as one part), and leave the vertical tab intact. Once I did that, I was able to remove the upper assembly and replace the worn out parts. I then installed the repair kit in the existing upper agitator, aligned the slots of the repair kit with the existing lower agitator vertical tabs and tightened the bolt. The machine is 22 years old! Works great!

1) Using a Phillips head screwdriver, the two screws retaining the hinge pin to the lid were removed. 2) Remove hinge pin and tilt lid slightly to gain access to bushing hole. 3)Install new bushing in hole. 4)Reposition lid. Insert hinge pin through lid and into bushing. 5)Reinstall hinge pin retaining screws and tighten.

I had to remove 3 screws from the back of the washer to be able to lift the top. Then remove 3 screws under the lid which held the switch in, unplug the old part and put the new one in. It was quite sinple. The most difficult part was figuring out you have to slide the top of the washer forward a bit to be able to tilt it up.

our 13 year old kenmore washer has a dual system agitator and the top section had stopped working - we looked at the mechanism and found the drive gears had worn and broken. Originally we called Sears for repair estimate - would have ended up being +/- $250... we started thinking we should just invest in a new washer... hated the thought because the washer still looked and worked (other than the agitator) great... we found your site on-line and fixed the probelm for $35 and 15 minutes... took less than 24 hrs. to get the parts - even during the Christmas mail "clog" time of year!! THANKS for the service and price!!

Remove agitator cap remove screw then replace agitator. really simple to do approx 15 minutes.

Took off old agitator, installed new agitator that was already assembled. Tightened nut and presto, installation was completed.

I watched a Part Select video on replacing the augitator and just followed the directions to replace the thrust washer (which was showing wear) and the washer. The instructions that came with the thrust washer were helpful as well.

Disassembled ,as assembled.
