How to Remove the Agitator From My Clothes Washer
- 1). Remove the cap from the agitator. In most cases, you will see a translucent cap that you will need to loosen and remove with your pliers.
- 2). Remove the nut. Once you have moved the cap and translucent cap, you will need to try to find the nut that is about 3/8 inch, this may vary slightly according to the brand with which you are working. Be careful, as there are little tabs of plastic in the agitator that are needed to move the agitator. Without them, it will not work.
- 3). Slide or pull the agitator out of the washing machine. Now you can either clean or replace it with another agitator.
