months-and remove any lint that may have accumulated. No tools are needed, simply grasp agitator with both hands and pull straight up sharply. The slotted section at the top of the metal shaft has a light coating of lubricant to prevent parts sticking together. If this area appears to be dry, apply a light coat of grease or petroleum jelly around the slotted section of the shaft before replacing the agitator. Do not overgrease.

When replacing the agitator, carefully lower straight down onto the shaft so that it fits into the slots. Then apply downward pressure until agitator snaps into its normal position.
