Agitator removal / how?

Washer leaks from bottom heavily and need to remove agitator to inspect. Must be release somewhere. Help.:frowning:

You probably have a 1/4 inch screw holding the agitator in place, just look for it on the side of the agitator.

On a GE Profile washer mod#wsse422oa just grab hold of the bottom of the agitator and pull up aggressivle,it is just held on with eight or so plastic ears. Keep face to the side because it will let loose quickly,just done one.
