Excellent. The people at the appliance parts store were great. Together with this video mission completed. My washer agitates like a typhoon.

THIS is the BEST video on how to do this.  Shows good pictures of each of the parts and how they are supposed to go together correctly.  I was using other videos and having all sorts of issues.  I used this one, and fixed it in a snap!  WHEW!  You saved me from additional stress!

I replaced the dawgs. It works properly. But slip when I wash a load. Any suggestions ?

[robbvenegas]

I think this probably saved me a lot of money. Thanks for the help. Also my agitator would not separate for some reason until I pulled super hard on it. I was worried something might break when I did that. So in case anyone else had the problem, it still worked fine and I didn't break anything. Almost busted a blood vessel though. Haha

Just installed my agitator dogs by myself by watching this video. I must say Thank you and it worked like a charm. I saved hundreds of dollars doing this myself.

My washer did not have the yellow thing. It still seemed to work but it was hard to get the bolt started without a dog coming off. It took me three tries but I finally got it. Thanks for the videos. I live 50 miles from the nearest city. It isn't just a matter of what a repairman costs, they just won't come out here period.

What if your cam bearing slips right off everytime you turn it upside down? I'm having a hard time with this thing because everytime I turn it upside down that bearing falls off and I got dogs all over the floor.

Does anyone know if it will cause a problem if the barrier cap is missing?

[CavemanCBB]

I bought the whole kit and not just the dogs and this video helped me a lot in installing them. The only thing that I did differently is that rather then hold up on the agitator while tightening the bolt down I first left the bolt out and just used the socket to push down on the clothes mover and part with the dogs attached until they were seated snugly into place. Then I installed the bolt and tightened it. This was easier then trying to hold the whole thing together while you tighten the long bolt. (I tried to hold it all together with the bolt in place a couple of times and it kept falling to pieces on me.)

What do you do if bolt just spin's and agitator won't come out

[mokaglory]

Removing the 7/16 bolt is so hard on my Amana washer. The washer is
only five years old . The bolt is very tight and is very hard to remove.
I used lube several times, but the bolt won't budge. How do I remove it
? Any advice? Thanks

[RandyMancini]

thanks for your help you were right on, i fixed mine

[neeksh]

Do the agitator dogs come in different sizes ? I bought new agitators dogs but when I insert them, they fit small in the grove. I inserted anyways. when I checked and spin the agitator anticlockwise it bucked but if I tried a little harder it would jump and spin. Can u assist me ?

[BrendonsPodcast]

My whole kit is not falling out after removing the bolt. It's latched in stock some how. What do I do?

[lujwanaholmes]

I can’t seem to get the barrier cap to come out. Mine doesn’t just pull out. What can I do? I have a Amana washer

[Skashoon]

My Amana washing machine Model #NAV6800AWW doesn’t seem to have dogs. I removed the fabric softener cap, the was no cap. I removed the 7/16 bolt and removed the clothes mover. There were no dogs or a plate to hold them. So what can I do now? Is there another video for this configuration? Thanks!

[JadesHomesteadHavoc]

My Amana NTW4600YQ1 doesn't appear to come apart like this. Any suggestions?
