Top Load Washer - Agitator Came Off

Many Top Load Washer agitators on models manufactured in late 2015 and after featured two components, the agitator auger (with the spiral fins) and the agitator base. Examples of the model numbers are models beginning with GTW460, GTW485 or GTW585. The agitator type for these models is called a dual-action agitator. The agitator could come off the base if not seated properly. It can easily be snapped back in place.

Snapping a Dual Action Agitator Back Into Place

1. Line up the grooves in the agitator auger with the agitator base.
2. Turn counter-clockwise until it locks into place.

Snapping a Fabric Softener Cup Back Into Place on the Top of the Agitator

If the Washer has a fabric softener cup at the top of the agitator that has come off, do the following:

1. Line up the grooves on the edges of the cup with the grooves at the top of the agitator.
2. Push down on the cup firmly to snap it into place.
