Hi All! Now that my Christmas concert is over, I thought I would tackle the agitator on the Norge. The original one is broken at the top and is frozen to the shaft. Bobby in Boston

If you read the earlier thread, the replacement has lint crud stuck inside:

So now I need to remove the cracked agitator. Nothing made it budge, so since it was junk, I took the Dremel to it.

I worked at it for over an hour. I have never seen an agitator so frozen onto a shaft. I bet the crazy Youtube washer killer couldn't get this one off!

As I'm doing this, I hear someone knocking. I put down the Dremel and head for the front door. As I pass by the GE Filter-Flo, I realize the knock was an unbalanced beach towel that I had thrown in!

I finally get the agitator off. I could have cried. The shaft looks like something rescued from the wreck of the Titanic!

Making progress.......... Larry at Modern has some parts. Does anyone know if there are four or six bolts under the wash basket? He doesn't have a diagram of this model, an LWA 2040 A00. Bobby in Boston | ||

Love the older, slanted consoles. How Whirlpoolesque! Since there are only three tub bolts, I assume the agitator shaft cover would have six bolts, evenly spaced around the three, no? Bobby in Boston | ||

I think this might be a bit older, but close...
From the Montgomery Ward Dept. 85 service manual for Norge-built washers: Center Post Assembly "The center post assembly is made up of the center post, a nylon bearing installed over the lower portion of the center post and a bearing installed in the upper portion of the center post. The center post assembly is secured to the upper spin tube hub by the 3 screws that secure the spin basket. A gasket is installed between the center post and the hub." I sounds like the shaft cover (center post) should be able to be removed with the 3 bolts when you remove the spin basket. | ||

I'm trying my best Norgeway. I'm one step closer to an agitator post. Nothing beats a Norge! Bobby in Boston | ||
