It's a two piece agotator. When I took the cap off the top piece, there is yet another cap under it that I cannot get out - it's down inside the top piece of the agitator and has nothing to grab onto. There are a pair of slits in the agitator top piece that are even with this second cap, and I have tried using a screwdriver to pry the cap off, but there does not seem to be any seam there to get the screwdrive head into. What can I do? My wife lost her wedding ring and believes it is under the agitator.
SOURCE: how do I remove the agitator?
Technically, the agitator should just pull straight up and off. Realistically, that just might not be that easy. There is an agitator puller. If you take the small plastic cap off the top of the agitator (if it is still there) you then slip a metal ring over the top of the agitator and tighten down three set screws into the plastic on the side of the agitator, near the top. (biteing into the plastic, but not enough to crack the agitator) Then, a pull collar is hooked over the edges of the pull collar and the center of the puller goes right down the center of the agitator (right on the center of the transmission shaft) Perhaps you could fashion your own pull collar. Your machine is well over the average life of a washer, so I wouldn't worry too much about damage to it. It may be time to invest in a new machine soon. Please don't bother rating, as anything but a Fix-Ya drops my score. Good luck with your repair.

Take a water hose and blow it out.
G.e. Agitators normally need a special puller to remove tub

this machine does not have a clutch but you may want to pop the front off by inserting putty knife to release clips on the top of the front panel , there you can inspect the belt to see if it is worn

1 First you must determine the brand of washing machine you have.
Maytag and Admiral washers are very similar to remove. General Electric, (GE) is different, To remove a GE agitator simply pull upwards very hard, GE agitators snap on. Be careful not to pop it into your mouth, that really hurts.

The agitator is a two piece - the top part is an auger-like attachment that turns independently and sits on top of the standard agitator spindle (the intersection of these two parts is where strings from sweatshirts, straps, etc. become frustratingly tangled, a complaint you may have hear before). If I could remove this top piece somehow I may be able to then remove the agitator. Come on experts - surely someone out there knows what i am referring to here?
