GE Washing Machine Agitator Replacement

Raise the lid to give full access to the agitator assembly.

Look for the small round hole located at the very bottom of the agitator skirt.

Feel around the agitator base until you find the raised nipple on the washer plate.

Rotate the agitator until its hole lines up directly over the nipple.

Insert a Phillips screwdriver through the hole and press it in until it bottoms out.

Have a helper hold the washer tub steady so it cannot rotate while you twist the agitator.

Grip the agitator housing and turn it clockwise until it breaks free from the drive tabs.

Lift the agitator straight up and out of the tub once it releases.

If you need hub access, remove the central 7⁄16-inch bolt with a socket wrench and lift off the plate.

Align the four slots on the agitator base with the four plastic retention pieces on the washer plate.

Lower the agitator onto the tabs until it sits flush on the plate.

Twist the agitator clockwise until it snaps and will not rotate freely.

Press the fabric-softener dispenser cap back onto the agitator top.
