Washer made a loud banging noise at end of spin cycle, leaked water and agitator seemed loose

After entering the model number of your appliance you will be taken to a page where all of the parts are displayed by sections. On that page about in the middle there is a heading called "Find Part By Symptom." I figured out from there which symptom the washer had and read what other people were saying and how they made the repairs. Basically I had three problem areas, Noise, Leaking and a problem with the agitator. I focused on the loud noise first and decided I needed to replace the clutch/brake assemblies. I found the clutch parts page and on that page there was a video on how to make this repair. This video is all you need to gain access to all moving parts located under the cabinet. Which ever part you are replacing, I recommend watching this video! After removing the console, back panel and cabinet then laying the machine on its back just as seen on the video, I had access to the water pump, motor, transmission and related clutch/brake parts. As it turned out I did not need the clutch/brake assembly but as a precaution and because the parts were cheap, I replaced the motor coupling, water pump and tub wear pads. I decided to replace the agitator assembly because of several worn parts associated with the dog ears/drive shaft ETC. I put the machine back upright and took off the top cap on the agitator, then there is an inner cap with seal that gives access to the 7/16" bolt you must remove to remove the agitator. However once the agitator was removed I noticed metal shavings and play in the shaft. I used a spanner wrench to remove the spanner nut. I removed the Plastic Tub Ring (has several clips around the outer tub), then removed the inner washer tub to replace the Drive Block. Replacing the Drive Block stopped the loud noise at the end of the spin cycle. Now just reverse the order to put the machine back together and your done. For my situation it was best to take the machine apart and decide which parts I needed before ordering to minimize errors. These machines are made very cheaply and are designed to brake at some point in time and it is very easy to determine which parts are worn because most are made of plastic. In this process I also noticed where my leaks (did I say Leaks) were coming from. There were two hose clamps installed improperly from the factory, so check all clamps, hoses ETC. and you should be good to go.

Repair was simple, after finding the correct part from Partselect. Exact match. Old part out with removal of one bolt, new agitator assembly installed in five minutes. Works great and saved me from buying a new washer. Cost of repair about $80.00, replace washing machine, about $600.00.

Eveything went great. I oldered the part on Sunday evening...received shipping notification on Monday... part arrived Tuesday. Wow! I must say, I am not an appliance repair technician. The job was easy...real easy! I lifted off the softner reservoir...losened a bolt...removed the old agitator...installed the new agitator...tightened the bolt....put the softner reservoir back on....job done. I certainly will buy from this site again. Thanks PartSelect and Staff...Outstanding Service (5 Star)!

I first removed the softener container by simply pulling it up & out. Secondly, I removed the 7/16" bolt that held the agitator in-place & again, simply pulled the agitator up & out. Then I placed the new agitator in, replaced the 7/16" bolt and the softener container - job complete (that simple).

The repair was very easy. The only hard part was due to the age of the machine the cap covering the agitator assembly was stuck on the top.I had to use a very large pipe wrench to loosen it. Other than that the whole repair went very smooth. You will need an extension with the socket wrench in order to reach the screw holding down the agitator.I was very impressed with the service from Parts Select. I received my part very fast and it included everything I needed to complete the job.

The bucket of the dog's harness is bought under the agitator of the washer. How do i loosen the agitator to lift it up to remove the harness buckle from under the agitator?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Tom, Thank you for your inquiry. You need to start by removing the cap, the cap barrier, and use a socket wrench to remove the bolt from the agitator. You should then be able to pull the agitator out. We have included a link to our video for a similar agitator to assist you with removing the agitator. Hope this helps.

My washer is not agitating . I replaced the agitator dog & motor drive coupling. Still is not agitating & make noise during the regular wash. Please help
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Jamal, thank you for your question. There are a few parts that you will have to check to see if they need to be replaced. You should check your thrust spacer and agitator cam bearing. Both of those parts are in the agitator repair kit. You may also want to take a look at your agitator cams, your gearcase, and then finally your motor itself. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Agitator is real lose and wobblie
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Ruby, thank you for getting in touch. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you tighten the bolt at the bottom of the agitator. When the bolt is loose, it causes the agitator to wobble. If this still does not resolve the issue, then we would suggest checking the directional cogs, part number PS388034, to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
