how do you remove the CALYPSO style agitator
frey8 try this from the service manual: Removing Components in the Tub
- Disconnect power from the washing machine.
- Raise the washer top to the service position.
- Disconnect the fresh water inlet hose from the tub ring. (Fig. 3-10)
- Unsnap the tabs that secure the tub ring to the tub. (Fig. 3-10 - INSET) Lift the tub ring from the tub.
- Using a flat bladed screwdriver, release the three (3) tabs to separate the balance ring from the basket.
- Using two (2) flat bladed screwdrivers, 90° apart, in the notches provided, separate the dome from the outer wash plate. (Fig. 3-11)
- Remove the six (6) 3/8” bolts securing the outer wash plate to the universal joint. (Fig. 3-12) Remove the outer wash plate from the basket.
- Once the outer wash plate is removed, the inner wash plate can be lifted out of the basket. (Fig. 3-12)
- Lift the leveler assembly from the splines on the spin tube. Reach under and hold the lower hub of leveler while lifting. (Fig. 3-13) 10 Use a spanner wrench and mallet to loosen the spanner nut securing the universal joint assembly to the drive block. (Fig. 3-14)
- Remove the spanner nut. Once this is done, the universal joint assembly can be lifted from the basket.
- The basket can now be lifted from the tub. NOTE: It may be necessary to spread apart one of the drive block sections to loosen the basket from the splines of the spin tube. (Fig. 3-15) This is of course for all the components. You can stop once you removed the agitator.
