This video will show you how to repair the agitator dogs on your Whirlpool washing machine. The symptom for this problem is when during washing, your bottom agitator works fine, but the top agitator does not turn properly.
The process is also very similar for Maytag, Sears, Kenmore, General Electrics (GE), and similar Whirlpool models. Believe it or not, most of these machines are manufactured identically, and just branded differently.

Was gonna buy a new washer, did some researching, and figured out i just needed some new dog agits. Ordered them last week, just watched your video, and i am going to replace them myself this afternoon. Just waiting for my friend to get off of work and bring me a socket wrench!
Good to have friends with tools! Cheers!
DIY for life man. I have refurbished my hot water tank, furnace and fridge. I don't like replacing things that don't need replacing. Great vid man.
Damn right, if there are no specialty tools require, and as straight forward as this for a part that costs less than $2, there is no way you should have to pay $150 to have it done! Power to all DIY people!
@@JDirom hey nice video, what does it mean if the bolt to the agitator is wet? Does it mean water was seeping in because the seal o ring wasn't keeping the water out? Like that black seal that was broken when you pulled that piece (cap) over the bolt off?
YOU ARE AWESOME !!! I WAS ABLE TO FIX MY WHIRLPOOL WASHER BECAUSE, OF THIS VIDEO...!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! GOD BLESS YOU !!!
Glad to hear it helped.
Thank you for your video. I was able to fix my wash machine in like 10min. Everything was spot on. 7/16 socket, long extension and your good to go. Thanks Again ! Cost-$5.00 and the was high for express delivery of the dogs.
Glad to hear that you got it fixed. Cheers!
My washer is 23 yrs old, had the dog ears replaced once. Now You Tube is my best friend on everything! Thank you for your video, looks easy to do. Going to local parts store in Ocala FL and fix my washer tomorrow!
That is awesome!
So easy! I've had the washer for 11 years and I bought it used. To tell the truth, I've always just tossed the clothes in, shut the lid, and walked away. It wasn't until I noticed the fabric softener leaking out (bad o'ring) that I actually watched the machine moving. It is possible it never agitated! LOL I had to replace all the parts so it cost $6 instead of $1, but it sure beats $$$$ for a repair person or a bazillion for a new washer. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped you out, and saved you some money.
My Dad thanks you. Straight to the point. Easy/Cheap Fix.
Glad to hear that it helped your dad out!
Thanks man! Fixed my washer up great! Saved me $600 for a new one, much appreciated!
Glad to hear it helped you out!
Just did this repair while watching your video! Thank you!👊
Glad to hear it helped you fix things?
Super helpful. Was able to do it myself. Thank you!
Glad it helped you out!
I guess Kurt Russell does this as a hobby.
You sound EXACTLY like Kurt Russell.
LOL!!!
lol…I can assure you I am not Kurt Russell.
Quick and Easy, clear instructions. Thank you.
Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you very very much.Cost me $6.You are great man.I really appreciate it.
Glad to hear you were able to do the repair and likely save yourself a lot of money.
Thank you so much, I I did it with minimal swearing haha.
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Even I could do this with the right tool.
Glad it helped you out.
I pulled my transmission and then i watched this video 😅 I think this is my problem thank you
Hope you get it sorted. Cheers!
Easy breezy, thank you for the video
Glad it helped.
Love all the information. Working on online of these now.
I notice that you didn't show how much of a pia it was to get the bolt out .
The only difficulty should be as mentioned is having the tools to make sure you can reach the bolt. Hope you got things fixed.
Thank you so much!!
Glad it helped!
I find it funny how these direct drives with worn agitator dogs STILL turn loads over better than these newer machines. Lol
Also way easier to fix than the new ones!
@@JDirom very true!
awesome thank u
Glad it helped.
Nice video, but my problem is the big screw it has lots of rust and my tech told me it would be hard to remove it… what do you suggest I should buy to prepare myself to replace parts? Should I buy the entire agitator in case he has to break it?
I imagine that the tech would be better judge of your situation seeing it. That being said penetrating fluid should help remove the bolt if there is a little rust.
Hey is a roper the same way? Cuz my agitator doesn’t work good either wonder if it’s the wig wag is it the same part I’ll need
Will be very similar google the washer model number and search for a parts diagram. It will show it exploded and parts numbers.
I cannot pull the top part of the agitator. You put your feet and pull it easily. I put my 2 feet and pull very hard but it won't come out
Should take very little effort to do. There isn’t much holding it on there.
Same Paul! I'm exhausted from trying, my husband and I are strong and capable it will not come apart. I've almost fallen backwards from pulling so hard. Any luck?
@@gilbertfamily3824I thought the same thing too but got mine popped open. My washer uses same cogs but little different to the one shown in this video.There are 4 tabs which go from the lower base to the cog cage and they are melted in place. I tried several ways but one which did the trick is to sit on the floor, have shoes on. Grip the agitator fins with your hands and lower base with your shoes. I had to use over 100 pounds of force to break the seal.
Hi great great video. I’m confused about the 7/16” wrench extender. Is the extender 7/16” too?
Use whatever extender you have to reach the nut with the 11mm socket. The extender would be 1/4” if you are using a 1/4” socket wrench.
@@JDirom thank you🙂
Hi. Hate to bother you and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I can’t get the agitator grease anywhere is there a viable substitute.
@@Kayemwhy Lithium grease
I replaced the agitator dogs, and turned the agitator by hand it does catches. But when I turn the machine on, the dogs seems didn’t catch the agitator. Please help. The teeth inside the agitator still looks good.
If it is not catching it is best to replace the other parts as well.
Thank you sir, what other parts that I need to replace?
😢is that possible for the transmission didn’t turn far enough to swing the dogs out to catch the agitator? Please help! I already every ( new dogs, agitator, new agitator holder)
I see that you wore your best uniform shirt to do this video (3:46)??? ;-)
Always wear my Sunday’s best to do repairs
I can't remove the seal it's stuck
Likely beneficial to replace the other parts as well then.
Part number for the dogs?
80040 is what I used amzn.to/3K9bxIw
no funciono pero gracias no se que mas podra ser
podría ser esto ruclips.net/video/eMnNGlMh08s/видео.html
Clean that softener cup omg
@@JDirom please son. There’s like hair in it lmao. The Whirlpool will thank uou
@@JDirom Hahahahaha
Um, you skipped the entire part about how to keep the motor from turning while removing the nut?????
Did you get the nut removed?
@@JDirom yeah, I realized I just needed to hold the bottom of the agitator.:)
@@chilidog73 good glad to hear you got it sorted!
Put the new cam in if you already have that
Clean your dispenser
Just trying to help
Dang washing machines are nasty inside. Bacteria in our “clean” clothes
They deal with a lot of dirt
