Yes, you can easily replace a broken, cracked, or stripped agitator assembly in a top-loading residential washing machine as a straightforward DIY project using basic hand tools. To remove the old agitator, pry off the plastic top cap using a flathead screwdriver, unscrew the long mounting bolt or retaining bolt located deep inside the central shaft using a socket wrench with an extension, and pull the agitator straight up and out of the tub splines. You can troubleshoot mounting components easily. You can verify that your replacement is successful when dropping the new OEM agitator onto the drive shaft, tightening the mounting bolt securely, and snapping the top cap back into place restores full mechanical agitation during wash cycles.
