Hi I find it difficult to remove the agitator of my Apartment size Kenmore, When I wash my cloths it leaks and my Kitchen become flooded, so I thought of remove the machine and see where is the leak.. How ever I do not know how to remove the agitator - the model number is 110.2970092 - Thanks

Remove the softner dispenser. Remove the cap with the bow tie on it. Remove the 7/16 bolt and lift the agitator off.

I really appreciate your response, Would you please explain a little bit more about removing the cap.. what is bow tie.. sorry I am new to this.. Thanks

After you remove the fabric softner dispenser, you should see a cap, twist it and pull up. The little grips on it look like a bow tie. Under this you will find the 7/16 bolt

When I remove the fabric softener dispenser and it's about 1 feet long.. and it has a very small basket like filter at bottom.. and after removing the F S Dispenser I do not see any grips.. I wish I could show you how it look like.. Is there any way I could send you a picture how it look inside..

Here are couple of shots - thanks

The bottom piece will have to be removed. Is there a slot for a screw driver to remove? I guess whirlpool didn't make the model for sears

I just got couple of more shots and found it's all in one tower like agitator and not been divided how ever there is a screw in the middle - check

OK must be made by maytag. Remove that screw and lift out

I tried that as well, even after remove the screw I tied a rope around the agitator and pulled out it won't shake.. Could it be another way... Thanks

It's a Frigidaire made by Kenmore. Sounds like the agitator may have corroded underneath. Unless you can break it free, you may have to bust the agitator to get it off. Sounds ridicules, but they weren't made of the best quality. Units are made for efficiency not durability. Good luck.
