this was GREAT - was literally going to home depot to buy a new washer. To quote my dad (who is new to computers) WOW - this restores my faith in humanity and the internet! He thought I was nuts to google it. Took about 25 minutes, only because I insisted on cleaning everything inside and out. HINT: dont buy from Sears - $8 with $9 shipping! Buy at Amazon (Supplyland) ($4, FREE shipping!)
Great video. I'm cheap so I just took the old dog ears and cut grooves in and put them back they work great. Not sure how long they will last but it's better than having to pay for them right now. Thank you so much.
wow - order from amazon, from "Supplyland" - $3.67+free shipping! will arrive in 3-5days. Stupid Sears wanted 8 bucks plus $9 shipping! arriving in 2 weeks!
Thank you so much for this video. Had same problem and had no idea was so easily fixable. Agitator dogs were 9.95 at local Sears parts counter - I fixed my washer in like 10 minutes thanks to your video. I'm sure you saved me 100+ bucks.
Thanks so much. My Kenmore started doing this about a week ago. Pretty much knew what the problem was in general but always nice to see the actual steps and parts required. You made it easier for me. Thanks again.
I have the Kenmore model 110. I got the 2 piece agitator out just as in the video. However, the top agitator does not want to separate from the bottom one. Any ideas?
@markt317 hey, if you look into the piece that has the teeth all around it, you will see two tiny tabs 180 degrees away from each other. i pried then away from the tabs holding them in and pulled up at the same time...somehow it came apart...it wasn't that easy, not sure why the guy in the demo video had it so easy as i fought mine for about thirty mins...good luck
This was such an easy fix & I'm a girl, lol! I didn't have to call a repair person or get a new washing machine, WOOO HOOO - A huge thanks and God Bless you for posting this video!!
JOE!!..Man you are sweet.hot..adorable...oh..and SMART!!! thanks for showing me how E-Z this is! oh man I was so happy to turn it all on after doing this simple repair and wow..i am getting all the tread marks out of my drawers!! man..I am no longer going dateless with guys running away screaming wondering why i don't clean my clothes!.>Thanks a bunch man..i'm trying to figure how to post and 'before' and 'after' pic of my clothes..but someone suggested to just thank you...ok.>THANK YOU!
Great! Thanks so much! Got my dogs quickly from a seller on Amazon w/ shipping for $3.75. Mine's a little newer model and doesn't have a bolt. It takes a half inch square tool to remove a plastic thing on a spring to get to the dogs. After that it's just one piece that lifts out to get to the dogs. I didn't have to take any of the agitator out. Took 5 minutes to fix. Thanks for showing me how to diagnose the problem and the confidence to do this myself.
Good presentation. As a stop-gap, I used a hot knife to make grooves on the agitator dogs. Then I reinstalled them and they grab the clutch mechanism in the top agitator just fine. Obviously, I can't do this forever. I'm going to order a set of dogs to have on hand when this repair wears out.
Great! Even though I have a slightly different agitator assembly, this video was perfect for allowing me to see what is necessary to fix mine. I did it all myself for a total cost of $8.49! I was literally thinking I may need to buy a new washer before I saw this video. Saved me a ton of money. This is why I love the internet. Thanks!
I can't thank you enough for posting this video!! I followed exactly what you said and my machine is now agitating beautifully!! Feeling pretty proud of myself right now. :) Thanks Joe!!!!
Joe, thank you so much. Now, I can fix my washer myself. You are the best!! What other good repair videos do you have? One question, when the washer was not working, did the machine make any kind of strange noises? Thanks a million :)
Ditto to the guy below me. You do freakin rock. we do not have $400 for a new washing Machine. $14.50 for the 4 peices at Sears, had it fixed in 15 minutes. Thanks man!
alright....here's the deal....it's 6:20 am, Saturday! and my wife wakes me up with the grand news that our clothes washer is broken. "Can you fix it honey" she asks. What the heck do I know about spin cycles and gurgitators? I told her we were probable looking at buying new!
@TheSnarkyApologist Thats awesome! Im glad it helped! You should take the money you saved and spend it something you would like thats fun. Your wife may not agree though......
I think this will fix my problem. Thanks for taking the time to provide the video. BTW, I ordered the dogs for $3.64 including expedited delivery from eBay.
How amazing!! I was very distressed thinking I was going to have to buy a new washer; my washer is 16 years old. I found your video and was able to fix my washer for $8.53. My husband was very pessimistic that I would be able to fix the washer, guess whose laundry got washed first :) Thank you so much!!
I just want to thank you so much.....i was thinking I had to buy a new washer....for $10 we fixed this one.....its people like you that make youtube a great thing!!!!
Washer screams like banshee, maybe binding under agitator? We have an old Kenmore over/under with an agitator top cap with a large plastic tab that sticks up in middle. Used pliers to grab tab and gently but firmly lift up to pop it off, then used half inch socket to remove normal threaded bolt. After reassembly still screams, so maybe needs oil/grease undernearh or a new unit, grrr. But thanks for this video showing how to remove agitator. Maybe another video will show a fix for my problem :)
My friend and I (two females) fixed my washer ourselves using this video. Went online and ordered the part, even had to buy an extender for my wrench but the whole cost was less than $30 and it runs like new!! Thanks so much for the very infromative video!!
@ogmclovin Heres the deal, with all of the money you saved, you should go out and treat yourself to something nice that you would both like. A new washer? Thats only fun for a short while?
Went online to find out how to get the agitator out of my Kenmore washer and came across this video which was the exact issue I was experiencing. After watching this, I ordered the part online ($11, $7+ for the shipping), followed the directions and I am back in business after only a couple days of down time. GREAT video that saved me a lot of money. Since the washer was approximately 20 years old, it almost ended up on the curb, like he says in the video. THANKS!
Great video; helped a lot. Note that if you don't have an exposed nut, you might have -- like I did -- a plastic insert instead. Just use a pair of needle-nosed pliers, spread apart -- to put down in the square hole to unscrew the plastic insert. This insert has a built-in bolt. I was confused at first as all I could see was the metal shaft but no bolt.
This was awesome! Our motor coupler needed to be fixed and I happened upon your video and decided to give both a try. Not only did we fix the motor coupler and our washer spins again, but it also agitates which it never did when it was sold to us 3 years ago. Laundry has never been so fun!
Thank you SO MUCH! This was exactly the problem with our washing machine. Thanks to your excellent video and some inexpensive Dog Agits ordered on line, we have fixed our washer and saved the hundreds of dollars we thought we might have to spend to replace it. Cheers!
Thanks you, our washer was doing this but we didnt know what was wrong, and after watching this video we went to check our washer and what do you know, it WAS the dogs that were worn out after all. cant believe it was something so simple, thanks!
Work for me. I tried to be cheap while waiting for my parts to show up in a week. I just took the dogs and use my jig saw to cut teeth into them. It's working for now. haha.
After you set the cogs/dogs in place you skipped several steps. I have the Agitator Cam KIt and it has a black cog holder sleeve and a white sleeve I have no clue where it goes. :(
Well, after watching your video last week, I ordered the part. The parts and shipping cost me a total of $16.60. The parts came yesterday-- I watched the video again about 25-30 minutes ago to refresh my memory, spent about 15 minutes on labor and TA-DA! It's working GREAT! Thank you SO MUCH for putting this info on YouTube. You saved us alot of money!!
Just wanted to clean the agitator. Awesome video and it is book marked for when it happens! Love my Kenmore and love even more that I can do it myself!
Just wanted to clean the agitator. Awesome video and it is book marked for when it happens! Love my Kenmore and love even more that I can do it myself!
I'm having the the same problem with me Kenmore, but the only thing is mine doesn't have the agitator dogs, it has gaskets. How would I go by doing this fix? Great video btw!
Awesome! I think you may have just saved me tons of money!! Question though--- I noticed mine wasn't agitating, so I took out all the soaking wet clothes to WATCH what the agitator was doing with just water in there and it seemed to do just fine. It's when all the heavy clothes are in there, that it won't "agitate". Is that the caused by the same problem you show in the video?
Thanks a bunch. I took it apart and the top didn't easily separate from the bottom. I thought I needed a whole new agitator. Then I watched this video and now I took out those little 'dogs' and I'm pretty sure I'll be washing a large load again in a few days! Cheers!
Here it is, almost 2 years to the day since you posted this video, and it is still helping poor suckers like me, who know NOTHING about appliance repair. I purchased a set of "agitator dogs" from sears online for $9. Don't even want to *think* about how much an appliance repair crew would have charged. Fix worked great! Thanks!!!
I'd like to thank both Joe and weezie63 for their expert help and advice. I thought that the top unscrewed from the bottom (both parts were stuck together - all I had to do was pull them apart after following the instructions!) Thanks, Guys; the repairman's quote was $88 call-out, plus parts.
simple fix on my 23 year old machine and it's cleanin' my undies even as I type. Great video, Schlubb and nothing like the feeling of saving $1000 because you are gonna get talked into the newest model with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention the satisfaction of fixing it yourself. Who says a computer is only good for porn?
This is so awesome. Thanks for posting this. I was about to spend $300 on a new washer. Instead I spent $10 fixing my old washer and now it works perfectly fine. You saved me $290.
@Roughneckxx1 Ours has that, too. We just pulled up on the plastic and it popped out. (It seemed to have laundry detergent built up on it that made it stick in there... you might add a little water and rub around the edges so the soap isn't holding it in place.) Hope that works for you!
@kpeebles OH I was about to show you how I removed it but I was pissed so dident get my camera out Sooo I just got my hammer on the prey side and went at it took like 30 secs to get it out and was relived yeah I choped that adgitator part in half with the hammer
Thank you for the perfect "How-To" for fixing the top agitator on my...16 year old Kenmore. Piece of cake, you made it easy to fix. A quick trip to my local appliance parts store, $10 and a couple of hours total time, and it's good-as-new.
Just when we were thinking, "hmmm, maybe it's time to get a new machine," we're back at 100% performance. Thank you!
Thank you for info. ..I will be repairing mine tomm./this is why I will not replace my Kenmore. They do not make them like they use to..Thank you once again..
Thanks for taking the time to make this video! It was very helpful. I followed the instructions in your video and completed the repair in less that 10 minutes! It took longer to call around and find the parts.
Yesterday my washing machine wasn't working, I had no idea what to do. I came on and did a quick search for Kenmore washing machines, Yours was the first one to come up. I checked my washer and it was the SAME thing that happened to mine! I went down today and bought those little plastic pieces for $6. Put it all back together and its going just fine as I type this! Thanks SOOO much for posting this video. Who knows how much money you saved me! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks So much, Mine has done this before and I paid over $100 to get it fixed. So of course it did it just last week and I can't get it fixed now. However with your easy steps here I can do it. I even took it apart and wow How easy. Now to get those Dogs. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this video. My washer actually did this 2 days ago and it's the exact same model as yours. I took the agitator off it, but didn't know how to get the second part off. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a working mom with kids. I replaced the dogs myself by watching your video took me 20 min and $10.00 from the local appliance store. I couldn't even get a repair person out here for less than $75.00 for the service call alone, then add parts and time to install my bill would have been about $150.00 dollars. I don't know about the rest of you out there but I can sure use that money for food and gas .Thanks again for a great job on the video@
Repaired my washer so I can wash donated clothes before I give them away to fire victims & other needy families! I couldn't get the tiny clips off the clutch assembly to get it out, I used a screw driver to move the clips to the side so the clutch would slide out. Once that was done the rest was easy! I've one question, The water inlet mount is broken & can't seem to find a video to repair it or the proper part. It mounts from the rear cover panel to the water hose. Help please. The Rev
Thanks just what to fix, I watched the video took off the cap, saw the broken pieces and went right to the appliance store, picked up the the dogs (cost me $4.20) and fixed it, all in 25 miniutes!!
Thanks for the video, I have a fairly new Kirkland (by Whirlpool) and the design is almost the same. Sears has the parts - but there are the lower bushings that need to be replaced. I wish you had shown those, but thanks for what you did show.
Thank you so much! I had purchased the dog agits. My brother showed me how to take the agitator apart. He told me to put the dog agits in exactly the same way the old ones were. But the old ones were so worn that they had all turned around with the fat ends inside, so it turns out I had put my dog agits in backwards. Not until I saw your video did I understand. I'm so happy now! Thank you.
In this economy a lot of people are going to be doing their own repairs, so a video like this could really be helpful! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with everyone...God bless you! =)
My washer is about 10 years older than this one, but same basic process, except no soap cup on top of mine, just pry the cap and there it is. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO GUY!!!! YOU SAVED ME FROM BUYING NEW WASHER AND MY WIFE IS HAPPY AS HELL TO SAVE $400 THANKS!!!!! She let me get a new fishing rig :)
I watched Video, and it went exactly the way the video discribed, (other than no 7/16" nut), my washer had a 1/2'' drive square drive, and 1 very easy turn , done, and 5 mins later DONE !!!! thank you for information, and as easy as it was, 10 dollars , and this machine is running like new, Right on !!!!!!!
I am so excited and grateful to you for this video. This is the EXACT problem I have with my washer. Can't afford to buy a new machine as I am recovering from Cancer surgery and my husband has been out of work for two years. I just ordered the part on ebay for $2.93 including shipping!! I will let you know when I get it and they are installed!!! Thank you again, you made my day!!!
This was the first link I found when searching, and it is EXACTLY my machine, and the problem. I bought the $10 part from Sears (agitator dogs), and my 11 year old son fixed it. THANK YOU for such a great video!!!
this was GREAT - was literally going to home depot to buy a new washer. To quote my dad (who is new to computers) WOW - this restores my faith in humanity and the internet!

Thank you SO MUCH! This was exactly the problem with our washing machine. Thanks to your excellent video and some inexpensive Dog Agits ordered on line, we have fixed our washer and saved the hundreds of dollars we thought we might have to spend to replace it. Cheers!

Work for me. I tried to be cheap while waiting for my parts to show up in a week. I just took the dogs and use my jig saw to cut teeth into them. It's working for now. haha.

This seems easy to do on your own. I need to get new agitators for my kenmore washer.

After you set the cogs/dogs in place you skipped several steps. I have the Agitator Cam KIt and it has a black cog holder sleeve and a white sleeve I have no clue where it goes. :(

Thanks, fixed my machine as well. Amazon was cheaper than Sears for parts though. $4 plus shipping. Just have to have the right part number.

Well, after watching your video last week, I ordered the part. The parts and shipping cost me a total of $16.60. The parts came yesterday-- I watched the video again about 25-30 minutes ago to refresh my memory, spent about 15 minutes on labor and TA-DA! It's working GREAT! Thank you SO MUCH for putting this info on YouTube. You saved us alot of money!!

I'm having the the same problem with me Kenmore, but the only thing is mine doesn't have the agitator dogs, it has gaskets. How would I go by doing this fix? Great video btw!

devilpup1966 7 months ago
Awesome! I think you may have just saved me tons of money!! Question though--- I noticed mine wasn't agitating, so I took out all the soaking wet clothes to WATCH what the agitator was doing with just water in there and it seemed to do just fine. It's when all the heavy clothes are in there, that it won't "agitate". Is that the caused by the same problem you show in the video?

Thanks a bunch. I took it apart and the top didn't easily separate from the bottom. I thought I needed a whole new agitator. Then I watched this video and now I took out those little 'dogs' and I'm pretty sure I'll be washing a large load again in a few days! Cheers!

Here it is, almost 2 years to the day since you posted this video, and it is still helping poor suckers like me, who know NOTHING about appliance repair. I purchased a set of "agitator dogs" from sears online for $9. Don't even want to *think* about how much an appliance repair crew would have charged. Fix worked great! Thanks!!!

I'd like to thank both Joe and weezie63 for their expert help and advice. I thought that the top unscrewed from the bottom (both parts were stuck together - all I had to do was pull them apart after following the instructions!) Thanks, Guys; the repairman's quote was $88 call-out, plus parts.

simple fix on my 23 year old machine and it's cleanin' my undies even as I type. Great video, Schlubb and nothing like the feeling of saving $1000 because you are gonna get talked into the newest model with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention the satisfaction of fixing it yourself. Who says a computer is only good for porn?

@Roughneckxx1 Ours has that, too. We just pulled up on the plastic and it popped out. (It seemed to have laundry detergent built up on it that made it stick in there... you might add a little water and rub around the edges so the soap isn't holding it in place.) Hope that works for you!

@kpeebles OH I was about to show you how I removed it but I was pissed so dident get my camera out Sooo I just got my hammer on the prey side and went at it took like 30 secs to get it out and was relived yeah I choped that adgitator part in half with the hammer

Thank you for the perfect "How-To" for fixing the top agitator on my...16 year old Kenmore. Piece of cake, you made it easy to fix. A quick trip to my local appliance parts store, $10 and a couple of hours total time, and it's good-as-new.
Just when we were thinking, "hmmm, maybe it's time to get a new machine," we're back at 100% performance. Thank you!

Yesterday my washing machine wasn't working, I had no idea what to do. I came on and did a quick search for Kenmore washing machines, Yours was the first one to come up. I checked my washer and it was the SAME thing that happened to mine! I went down today and bought those little plastic pieces for $6. Put it all back together and its going just fine as I type this! Thanks SOOO much for posting this video. Who knows how much money you saved me! THANK YOU!!!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a working mom with kids. I replaced the dogs myself by watching your video took me 20 min and $10.00 from the local appliance store. I couldn't even get a repair person out here for less than $75.00 for the service call alone, then add parts and time to install my bill would have been about $150.00 dollars. I don't know about the rest of you out there but I can sure use that money for food and gas .Thanks again for a great job on the video@

Repaired my washer so I can wash donated clothes before I give them away to fire victims & other needy families! I couldn't get the tiny clips off the clutch assembly to get it out, I used a screw driver to move the clips to the side so the clutch would slide out. Once that was done the rest was easy! I've one question, The water inlet mount is broken & can't seem to find a video to repair it or the proper part. It mounts from the rear cover panel to the water hose. Help please. The Rev

Thank you so much! I had purchased the dog agits. My brother showed me how to take the agitator apart. He told me to put the dog agits in exactly the same way the old ones were. But the old ones were so worn that they had all turned around with the fat ends inside, so it turns out I had put my dog agits in backwards. Not until I saw your video did I understand. I'm so happy now! Thank you.
