4GWTW3000FW0 Whirlpool Washer - Instructions

Popped of lid on agitator and stuck the dispenser in. Fit perfect, works like it should. Thank you for getting me the right size part!

Spin indicator light was illuminated but machine was repeating rinse cycle rather than spinning water out of clothes. Replaced the pulley and drive coupler, thinking there was a mechanical problem. Video instructions were great but old pulley and drive coupler looked perfect so replacing them did nothing. Next I replaced the washer actuator (shifter), thinking that was the reason for no high speed spin. Easy job, as shown in the video, but it also did nothing. The problem turned out to be a failure in the control panel, probably resulting from years of vibration. Decided to stop chasing my tail and bought a new washer.

Removed two screws to remove guard. Two screws to remove another part with wires. Pulley nut was already missing. Component was twist locking tabs.

Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

My dryer knobs ended up not only the problem but when i went to use my dryer the heating element wrnt out.... So i need to return your knobs and get my money back please thankyou however i need the correct forms to send them back and i have the original wrapping

Replacement

I was emboldened after reading other reviews by how easy it was to replace the agitator in my Whirlpool, with comments like "it took less than an hour". Well, that might be true for some... The video also made it look easy, so I ordered the replacement part. I did not disassemble the machine in advance but I did enough troubleshooting to determine that the clutch was fine, but the agitator failed to spin during operation. When the part arrived I followed the video, but I was unable to loosen the retaining bolt. The failure of the agitator was a result of stripped gear on the inside of the agitator, so it just spun loosely or, during the wash cycle, not at all. Because the gear teeth failed to grip, I was unable to use the agitator to hold the shaft stationary while loosening the attaching bolt. My only option was to cut the plastic agitator away from the shaft using a rotary cutter, being careful not to damage the shaft or the bolt. This was a painful, time consuming job but, with patience, it can be done. Have a shop vac handy because you'll have to stop on numerous occasions to vacuum up plastic pieces and dust, so they don't slip through the small holes in the drum and clog your drain. The problem was compounded because during the initial installation they had used excessive amounts of Loctite and the bolt was glued pretty tightly to the shaft. Anyway, after approx. 4 hours of troubleshooting/repair work the washer is back in operation, and I still saved money on the deal, so I'm a satisfied customer..

I pulled out the old cap with my hands and jammed the new thingy into place. The lady of house did the repair. Easy

Replaced hinge switch. Still no spin cycle. Noticed hinge bearing cracked & if hinge forced into switch, spin activated. Ordered new hinge bearings.Spin cycle still didn't engage. On further examination, observed that hinge was bent. Straightened hinge & worked like a charm. Didn't really need new switch or bearings. NOTE : Avoid having washer door bang shut.Took longer than expected, but each procedure was simple.

I removed the Softner dispenser and used a socket wrench to remove the entire agitator. Then replaced it with the new one. It was so worth doing it myself. I cost us about $50.00 and that would have been the cost of having a service call. without parts and labor. I was thankful that it was an easy job and one that I could figure out. It saved us a ton of money. Since I don't know the names of any of the parts on this machine, it was nice to have pictures that go along with the parts online. It allowed me to order the correct part.

Removed nut holding the agitator in and replaced. Quick and easy.
Was easy to order and was here in 3 days. Faster than the local part dealer could get it to me.
Will use again if needed.

The part came in the mail. We (my daughter(12 years old) and I) opened the box. Took the part out and measured it (the description didn't fit the requirements). It turned out to be the correct part. My daughter undid the retaining bolt and pulled out the old agitator. We compared the the parts side by side, and everything matched. We put the new part in, aligned the splines, and reinstalled the retaining bolt. Everything went perfectly.

Thanks,
Tim and Briley Fenner

It was very simple. Took one socket with extention, and slipped the new agitator on and but bolt back in the tightened and that was it.

very easy to repair , instructions very clear , parts person very good to talk to, parts got here fast

After changing the cogs, inner-auger clutch assembly, retaining bolt and drive belt, the washer will still not agitate. Any suggestions??
