Advice on Whirlpool washer repair.

The other day I replaced the nylon pawls that engage the upper agitator on my 18 year old Whirlpool washer. Hooray! the agitator moves again.



BUT there's a sleeve that fits in the cnter of the upper agitator that the fitting that holds the pawls fits into. I left this out, as it was 'impossible' to reinsert. (OK, very difficult). The agitator appears to work as intended, with maybe a little more slop, but not much.



Is this fitting essential? Do I just resign myself to trying to force it back into the whole at the bottom of the agitator? Am I going to destroy my washer if I don't?



Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Doubt you will destroy the rest of the washer, but the agitator/washes may not work properly.

P&M

Whirlpool used to have a "Cool Line", not as hot as a Hot Line, but very good. They were open 8 to 12 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week, I forget. When I first heard about it, I thought they would say, "Is it plugged in? Did you clean the lint filter?" but it was nothing like that. Everyone I talked to (about 4 people or more) had worked as a service man (one was a woman and this was 25 years ago)

No time to finish this now.
