GE Washing Machine Agitator Replacement

Guia de vídeo
Este guia foi transcrito de um vídeo do YouTube.

O que você precisa

    • Raise the lid to give full access to the agitator assembly.

    • Look for the small round hole located at the very bottom of the agitator skirt.

    • This hole is the only place where a tool can lock the agitator for removal.

    • The presenter calls this hole out at 49–65 s.

    • Feel around the agitator base until you find the raised nipple on the washer plate.

    • Rotate the agitator until its hole lines up directly over the nipple.

    • Removal will not work unless these two features are perfectly matched.

    • Explained at 65–71 s and 120–131 s.

    • Insert a Phillips screwdriver through the hole and press firmly until it bottoms out.

    • The screwdriver must be jammed in hard to keep the mechanism from turning.

    • Push the tool in deeply; it cannot damage anything and must engage fully.

    • Presenter notes at 173–175 s not to worry about going too far.

    • Have a helper hold the washer tub steady so it cannot rotate while you twist the agitator.

    • If working solo, brace the tub with your free hand while keeping the screwdriver seated.

    • The agitator housing tries to move with the tub and makes removal difficult (151–162 s).

    • Grip the agitator housing and turn it clockwise until it breaks free from the drive tabs.

    • Clockwise release direction stated at 139–146 s.

    • Lift the agitator straight up and out of the tub once it releases.

    • If you need hub access, remove the central 7⁄16-inch bolt with a socket wrench and lift off the plate.

    • Align the four slots on the agitator base with the four plastic retention pieces on the washer plate.

    • Lower the agitator onto the tabs until it sits flush on the plate.

    • Twist the agitator clockwise until it snaps and will not rotate freely.

    • Rock the agitator back and forth to confirm it is fully seated.

    • Presenter repeatedly moved the agitator to ensure it was secure (203–208 s).

    • Press the fabric-softener dispenser cap back onto the agitator top.

Conclusão

The agitator is now secure and the washer is ready for use. Knowing about the hidden alignment hole makes future hub or tub repairs straightforward.
