How Do You Remove The Agitator, I Removed The Cup For The Liquid Softner And There Is A Hard Plastic Cover Inside, Does This Need To Be Removed To Gain Access To A Bolt? What Is The Next Step As I Cannot Get The Plastic Cap Out?
The agitator lift off, but it is sometimes hard to do. Here is a photo of how one site does it. Be careful, it can come loose and smack you in the face. (Been there)
THANKS, I WAS ABLE TO LIFT IT OFF BY GETTING A HAND UNDER EACH SIDE AND PULLING UP. YES YOU DO NEED TO BE CAREFULL AS IT DOES LET GO WITH SOME FORCE I TOOK YOUR ADVICE AND MADE SURE THAT I HAD MY FACE OUT OF THE DANGER ZONE.
According To Ge Web Site It Requires A Repairman But If You Are Carefull It Lifts Off With Some Force By Getting Your Hands Under Each Side And Pulling Up. Just Remember To Keep Your Face Away From The Area Because It Does Pop Off When It Lets Go. There Are Fingers Inside That Latch Down Over The Edge Of Each Of The Catches Of The Agitator Coupling. I Have Been Told That If You Add Vaseline To To The Areas Were The Fingers Latch To It Will Come Off Easier The Next Time.
Glad you got it off, and even happier you did not smack yourself in the face.
