top agitator does not spin

The top part of the agitator on my washer does not spin. the bottom half works ok… I read that the dogs inside the top part of the agitator go bad. What part do i have to replace or do i have to get a whole new agitator? Thanks.

If you install this part AP3094543 and this part AP3020663 . That usually does the trick. (Agitate dogs kit and thrust washer)

Thank You for the help. Just one question how does the top of the agitator come apart from the bottom part of the agitator? Does it just pull apart. Thanks

If you’ll take a look at this diagram http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=502843&diagram_id=122636#d122636

You will see that the top fabric softener dispenser just pops up and off, then underneath is a inner cap and o-ring that just pulls straight up. Under that is a 7/16 bolt that holds the agitator down. Remove it and the agitator just pulls straight up and out. Good luck.

I did that but does the clothes mover come apart from the bottom part of the agitator so you can get to the dogs.

The clothes mover pulls straight up and off of the bottom part of the agitator. Between the two parts is the thrust washer.
