How to remove washing machine agitator

Here are the steps to remove the agitator from your Moffat top loading washing machine:

1. Unplug the washing machine from the power outlet and turn off the water supply.
2. Open the washing machine lid and remove any clothing or items inside.
3. Locate the agitator in the center of the machine's tub. It should be a large plastic or metal component that rotates during the wash cycle.
4. If your agitator has a fabric softener dispenser on top, remove it by pulling it straight up.
5. Look for a locking mechanism at the bottom of the agitator. This is usually a plastic tab or lever that needs to be pressed down or pulled up to release the agitator.
6. Use a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to press down on the locking mechanism while pulling up on the agitator. This should release the agitator from the tub.
7. If the agitator does not come off easily, you may need to use a bit more force. Try rocking it back and forth while pulling up on it to loosen it from the tub.
8. Once the agitator is removed, inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. If it is damaged or worn, you may need to replace it.
9. To reinstall the agitator, simply line it up with the center of the tub and press down firmly until it locks into place.
10. Finally, replace the fabric softener dispenser if you removed it earlier and close the washing machine lid.

Note: The exact method for removing the agitator may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Moffat washing machine. If you are unsure about any of these steps, refer to your machine's user manual or contact a professional technician for assistance.

1- First you must determine the brand of washing machine you have. 2- To remove agitator on a whirlpool washer, remove top cap from agitator, Next you will find a translucent cap, remove this with your pliers. Then you will see a 3/8 inch nut, Back this nut out and you can then remove the agitator. Be Careful though, inside the agitator where the bolt has been removed is a white piece of plastic that holds the "dog ears". These dog ears are what lets the agitator move in one direction and locks when the transmission moves back in the other direction.

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. 3-Remove agitator, repair or replace and reset, GE just push on, you will be able to see the groves to line up the agitator to the hub. For whirlpool place bolt into dog ear guide, and set down on top of transmission post and tighten, be careful that dog ears, do not get out of alignment. That's it.
