Top Load Washer Agitator Removal on 1992 and Earlier Models

Occasionally a garment may get caught under the agitator of the washer. Review the information below to see if you can resolve yourself.

  • To prevent the possibility of shock, disconnect power from the washer prior to attempting to remove the agitator.
  • The agitator is removed by gripping the top of the agitator firmly and pulling straight up. NOTE: Twice a year, remove the agitator on these models and lubricate the shaft with a small amount of petroleum jelly to keep it loose.

For service, please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service.
