Broken Whirlpool/Kenmore Washing Machine Agitator Fix

If you have a washer with 2 piece agitator and the top doesn't work right this is your answer.
If you have a Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid or Roeper with a 2 piece agitator chances are you will eventuallly have to replace the dogs in the agitator to make it work properly. Time was about 10 minutes and it was 12 bucks for the parts with shipping. Cheaper than a new washer.

I ran the info on this washer and it was from 1994, I was suprised that they still has wood grain in 94 but as far as I can tell the date was right. This machine has seen heavy usage from the previous owners as well as us, the dryer that went with it got replaced in 2001 for some reason.

i don't suppose you have a video for fixing a door mechanism in a vehicle? :D

wow. I knew it was something simple. Can you beleive they don't' sell agitator dogs in Canada? like wtf? When I ask for them, people just look at me like I'm retarded. Maybe they have a differnet name here. Ebay ftw. My mother in law bought me a new washer, but now I can fix and sell my old washer, and buy something for the new baby :D

This is a good self help video, and he was right about wondering how many perfectly good washing machines were thrown out because of this reason. I used to find these machines on the side if the road and this would be the problem. $6 for the part and I would sell the machine for $50. I would rather own one of these older machines any day over one of the newer units. You won't be able to repair anything for $6 in those pieces of junk. Once again good video.
