Hey guys, I need a hand removing my Maytag agitator on my Maytag A512
As I am wanting to clean underneath it and potentially test fit some other agitators, It’s the mint green four hole agitator, Does anybody have any advice on removing it?

There should be a small set screw on one side of it towards the bottom where the vertical part of the agitator begins to widen into the fins. I don’t remember what size it is but it’s very small so be careful not to break it. after you loosen the screw a few turns (you don’t need to take it all the way out) the agitator should just pull straight up and out.

Oh

I always thought this kind of agitator was one that you just simply pull up to remove, I’ll have a look and see if there’s some sort of screw around the agitator tomorrow morning, by the way what does it mean if I do not find a hole there? Just curious

The ones without set screws pretty much just pull up and off, however your machine appears to be an 80s style machine so it will more than likely have the set screw. It will be set into the agitator and will be kind of hidden so you may have to feel around for it.
