Pop the plastic cover off top of agitator and losen bolt then agitator will pull up.

It depends on which piece you are talking about. If you mean that the inside of the knob itself is stripped you just need to grab a new know off a similar machine or get a new one from a parts store (pretty cheap).
If you mean that the metal piece sticking out of the timer is stripped then you need a new timer since that piece cant be replaced individually. You can get a new one from an appliance parts store, just take them the model number of the machine and they can look it up and most likely tell you how to replace it as well.

Agitator, #329, #327, #316 drun, #323 hud need a special wrench for this), to get to the tub seal. Not as hadr as it looks. Good luck

 

 

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
Absolutely!

I would gently suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter (providing your particular model has one!). So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.

Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

the washer is leaking on the floor last time a bobby pin was stuck in the flop how do you check the flap to see

this should be a big help..remove agitator first ,if frozen hit top of agitator back and forth to losen it ,,,remove agitator coupling and you should have it,,,good luck

Push downward between the top and front panel to release the front panelYour Service manual If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61

If the appliance works when you move the knob forward it means that the timer work is working and that the inlet valve is not stuck open. In that case the problem is the water level switch that does not cut off when water level reaches the limit. The water level switch is a pressure switch.

Replace the water level switch. before replacing the switch you can check its connectors and try cleaning the rubber hose attached to the switch. The pressure switch is located in the control assembly and is part nr.10 in diagram below:

Hi,

Problems with a washing machine not spinning or not draining are often interrelated..

If you are having a problem with your top load washer then check out thistip...

Washing Machine does not Pump or Spin


If you are having problems with your front load washing machine then checkoutthis tip...

Front Load Washing machine not draining and or not spinning

the purpose of that tube so it anywater that comes out of it goes through it and directs the water down the back and away from the motor. Now the bigger issue is why is water coming through that tube.What i suspect the reason of that is that the transmission is defective and the break is that internal to the transmission is slipping so the inner tub turns during the wash cycle force water up the side of the tub into that tube.during the agitate cycle the tub is not suppose to move at all and stay locked into place,but instead its moving where the water is forced up by centrifical force too and out the top of the tub cover,if it leaks with only a small water load it will leak worse with a large water load. if this is what is happening and the tub is rotating on agaitate cycle teh fix for that is to replace transmission which in most cases cost as much as replacing the washer would be

I would check the lid switch first.

Yes you will find a belt under the bottom of the machine. Check out first that it did not just over balance and cut out while spinning if so you will need to hit the reset buttonand check out spin cycle. Hope this helps

Have you checked the nut at the top of the agitator and made sure that it isn't loose? If that isn't it then things get ugly fast.

Since spin and agitate are the two times the transmission is used, that is what I would look at that. The agitate is the slow cycle of the transmission and the spin is the high cycle. Can you physically view the belt, i.e. that you have things opened up?

loosen...turn the nut toward the arrow to loosen
