Re: agitator wobbling from the stem. it comes right
Those are the agitator dog ears. They have teeth that grip and turn the top agitator during the wash cycle. It must be replaced when damaged or worn.
- Unplug the washer.
- Remove the fabric softener dispenser by pulling it off the agitator top.
- Look for the prying location on the agitator cap and insert a flat blade screwdriver between the agitator cap and the agitator then pry the cap off.
- Use a socket wrench, usually 7/16", with extension to remove the stud and seal holding the agitator to the shaft.
- Pull the top agitator from the bottom agitator.
- Pull the cam that holds the agitator dog ears from the top agitator.
- Lay the cam on its top and install the agitator dog ears on their slots.
- Hold the cam on one hand and the top agitator on the other.
- Slide the cam up into the top agitator and turn it over so that the agitator dog ears do not fall off.
- Reinstall the top agitator into the bottom agitator.
- Reinstall the agitator assembly into the shaft.
