1CWTW4840YW2 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Followed instructions on website video.

Washer was not agitating. My husband did not have a clue what to look for, but he took it apart and noticed two of the four directional cogs were stripped. Did an internet search and found the part on your website and thought we would give it a try since the part/shipping was under $20. The parts came in three days and my washer lives on. Was ready to get a new one since it is 18 years old, but I will not wait. Excellent website with all instructions and parts breakdown of the washer.

Followed youtube video. Great instruction.

Removed the agitator cap, then removed the plastic, spring loaded retaining part (needed a square head tool). Once out, the cog retainer came out, replaced all four cogs, and replaced in reverse. Easy as pie & took 10 minutes!!

THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ON THE SAME SITE AS YOUR PART WHITCH MADE IT SIMPLE

Popped off top of softener cup. Pulled out screen. Used nutdriver to back out the only bolt holding the agitator on. Pulled it off popped out plastic "gears" and popped new ones in. Put back in reverse order. Done in 5 minutes....worked perfectly! Easy!!! Thanks !!

Removed the bolt that holds the agitator in place..pryed the metal ring that holds the agitator dogs in place..replaced the old dogs with the new ones..old ones were broke off so I had to figure out what direction to install them by assembling everything and making sure that the dogs would catch the teeth on the part that surrounds them..reassembled and then the machine wound agitate properly..but then discovered that the direct drive clutch was not working keeping the drum from spinning..so I replaced the clutch but that's another review..

After a quick Google search I determined how to pull off the softener dispenser and top cover. Removed one bolt and pulled agitator out and apart.. Anyone who has used a socket set can do it.

from start to finish was about 10 minutes. used screwdriver to pop off top cap of agitator. used ratchet with small extension to take out bolt for agitator. removed agitator, placed it on ground for leverage and pulled off top agitator. carefully observed old directional cogs. flipped top agitator upside down removed old worn out/ broken plastic cogs. replaced them with the new ones. hard to screw up they only install one way. kept top agitator upside down and put rest of agitator back on. flipped it right side up and pressed down hard for secure fit. placed agitator back in washer. reinstalled bolt. placed cap back on and was finished...25 year old washer working like new. $2.80 not including shipping...

That OK , easy.

I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE VIDEO AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. It was very easy.

followed video instruction that came with part. Previously watched youtube video (there are several, the low production videos are well worth viewing over the professional types). It was a breeze, other than the videos saying one person could do all four. When you get to the last rod, it is more difficult to lift the tub to insert the final rod in the round holder. I asked my wife for assistance.

The video posted on this site will walk you right through the repair. Great service. Thanks!

Exactly like the video from the website

Very simple repair with the kit. Old rods came out easily using vise grips locked on to rods about 10-12 inches down and pulling up. Had doubts if they were bad since everything looked good but drum bounced back several times when I shoved it down to test it earlier. New rods went in just as easy and replaced in less than 30 min. Hardest part was that I had very cramped laundry room so had to move and disconnect hoses etc. to move into larger space for repair and then move back to reconnect. Parts came quickly within about 3 days and now purrs like a kitten!
