coated pliers handle or a cushioned hammer
handle, work around the cap edge using light
vertical blows until seated. Excessive force may
crack the cap.

groove on the cap before installation.
b. Looking for the black o-ring through the
softener holes in the upper agitator. The cap
is not properly installed if any black can be
seen.
c. Check that the entire edge of the mechanism
cap is under the four plastic ridges on the
inside of the upper agitator.

1. Raise the top, remove the softener dispenser and
lift the cap out.
2. Using a 1/2 socket remove the bolt from the center
of the agitator shaft and lift the agitator off.

by the bolt that holds the agitator to the transmis-
sion shaft.
