Installation Instructions:

Safety Precautions: Before beginning the installation process, disconnect the washer from the power source to prevent electrical hazards.

Access the Agitator: Open the washer lid and remove any items from the tub. Locate the agitator in the center of the tub, which is typically a tall, cylindrical component with fins or blades.

Remove Agitator Cap: Depending on your washer model, you may need to remove a cap covering the top of the agitator. Use a flat-head screwdriver or a wrench to carefully pry off the cap, exposing the agitator bolt underneath.

Remove Agitator Bolt: Using a socket wrench or an appropriate-sized wrench, loosen and remove the agitator bolt located at the center of the agitator. Once the bolt is removed, carefully lift the agitator out of the washer tub.

Replace Agitator Dogs: With the agitator removed, locate the agitator dogs at the bottom of the agitator assembly. These are small plastic components with teeth that engage with the agitator cam to create the agitation motion.

Install New Agitator Dogs: Remove the old agitator dogs by prying them out of their slots in the agitator assembly. Replace them with the new 80040 Washer Agitator Dogs, ensuring they are properly seated and engaged with the agitator cam.

Reassemble Agitator: Once the new agitator dogs are installed, carefully lower the agitator back into the washer tub, aligning it with the agitator shaft. Reinstall the agitator bolt and tighten it securely using the socket wrench or wrench.

Replace Agitator Cap: If applicable, reinstall the agitator cap over the top of the agitator and press it into place until it is secure.

Test Operation: Close the washer lid and plug in the washer. Test the operation of the agitator by running a wash cycle, observing for proper agitation motion and smooth operation.
