Product review (5 stars): This inexpensive part saved me from having to buy a new washer!
This inexpensive part saved me from having to buy a new washer! My 8 year old GE washing machine stopped agitating (still filled with water and would spin and drain), so I did a quick Google search and replacing this part was the number one suggestion. The best part is how easy and fast it was to fix, all we had to do was pull up firmly on the agitator to remove it, unscrew the old part, wire brush the shaft to remove any rust/gunk, lubricate the shaft (optional but recommended), screw on the new part, and pop the agitator back on. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and now my washer is working like new again :-)
