AGITATOR
The "Power Fin™'' twelve vane agitator
creates a unique water action which
pushes water through the clothes while
movi ng them from the top of the water
to the bottom and then up again. The
water action tends to keep the clothes
away from the agitator and out toward
the tub.
The water circulation pattern keeps the
water constantly moving through the lint
filter.
Water enters the barrel of the agitator
through the slots around the top. It
passes through the center and comes
out the holes at the bottom of the
agitator barrel.
To remove the agitator, remove the set
screw holding the agitator in place and
pull up. Be sure set screw is replaced
and securely tightened when the
agitator is replaced.
Note: It will help to pull the washer unit
slightly forward. This will allow you lift
the lid back further to provide greater
clearance for the agitator skirt.
The agitator is secured to the agitator
drive shaft with a 1/4" hex head screw
in the barrel of the agitator into the
groove of the agitator shaft.
