Follow this guide when the agitator in your GE top-load washer is damaged or when you must remove it to reach the hub or the 7⁄16-inch transmission bolt hidden underneath. The procedure relies on a hidden alignment hole and takes only basic hand tools once you know the trick.
必要な工具と部品
-
手順2 Find the alignment hole
-
Look for the small round hole located at the very bottom of the agitator skirt.
-
-
手順3 Align the hole with the locator tab
-
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.
-
-
手順4 Lock the agitator
-
Insert a Phillips screwdriver through the hole and press it in until it bottoms out.
-
-
手順5 Hold the tub steady
-
Have a helper hold the washer tub steady so it cannot rotate while you twist the agitator.
-
-
手順6 Remove the agitator
-
Grip the agitator housing and turn it clockwise until it breaks free from the drive tabs.
-
Lift the agitator straight up and out of the tub once it releases.
-
-
手順7 Optional: Remove the agitator plate
-
If you need hub access, remove the central 7⁄16-inch bolt with a socket wrench and lift off the plate.
-
-
手順8 Align the new agitator
-
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.
-
-
手順9 Lock the new agitator in place
-
Twist the agitator clockwise until it snaps and will not rotate freely.
-
-
手順10 Reinstall the dispenser cap
-
Press the fabric-softener dispenser cap back onto the agitator top.
