    I have a GE Model WPSR3100 washer that won't agitate. Is the cap under the fabric softener glued in? Is the agitator bolted down or can the agitator be pulled off?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    The cap on top has to come off. Inside is a nut which you will have to remove to pull off the agitator.

    Is the agitator on a GE model GTW180SCJOWW washer bolted in?

    Yes, it's a GE. You'll need to get the bolt out to remove anything from the top side.

    The agitator coupler will not come out on model WWRE6260D0WW. I don't want to use too much force and risk breaking parts. What can I do?

    Unscrew the bolt holding the agitator down. Once you remove the cap, look down into the barrel of the agitator. You should see a metal bolt or nut holding the entire agitator housing in place. Use a ratchet (with an extender) to unscrew and remove it.

    What is wrong if the agitator won't spin?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If the agitator won't spin, then your motor to transmission coupling is probably broken and needs to be replaced.

    What do I do if the agitator broke off at the base? Should I buy a new part or have it repaired? Which option is cheaper?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It really depends on how much the parts and/or repair are in your area. You should probably have it replaced.

    What if water is leaking below the drum near the top of the shaft?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    It's time for a new washer. Yours will need a new drum if it's leaking. People try to replace a seal and just find the leak is back a few months later.
