Product review (5 stars): CHEAP and EASY to DIY Agitator Repair Kit
When my Whirlpool Washer's agitator stopped working, I began searching the internet to find out why. When I found the answer that seemed most likely, (that these small pieces called, "dogs" were worn out and needed to be replaced) I was fortunate enough to find a great video on a popular well-known worldwide video sharing site, YOU know it(my search words that got me to the video on the site were: how to fix and agitator on a washing machine) which was a man who very clearly showed/explained how to troubleshoot and replace these "dogs" that made me realize I could EASILY do this myself. I went straight to Amazon to see if they carried these for my model and was delighted to find they did. I ordered these and had them shipped to me right away. These were super easy to replace and got my washer's agitator back to great running condition. Although this kit came with several items as shown in the seller's photo, I only needed the dogs, but saved the rest for later, just in case. Thankfully, we had the long extension for the ratchet that is absolutely needed for this repair (please see my photos posted of this). My husband was pretty impressed that I fixed this myself, but really, it was super easy and required very little, if any, mechanical abilities. Don't be intimidated if you have little mechanical ability, this is super easy and straightforward to do. Before you spend much, much more of what these cost to have a repairman to come out and do this, do yourself a favor and DIY!
