When to Replace

• Motor Coupling: Replace if the motor runs but the basket does not spin or agitate. A loud noise from the motor area often precedes failure.
• Agitator Dogs: Replace if the bottom of the agitator moves but the top part is stationary or moves weakly, leading to ineffective cleaning.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect the washer from all power and water supplies before starting service.
• Accessing the motor coupling typically requires removing the washer cabinet.
• Note the orientation of existing parts before removal to ensure correct assembly.
• Ensure the new agitator dogs are seated properly to allow for correct one-way directional movement.
