Everything I have thus far come across indicates that one needs to simply remove the fabric softener cap, and then pull up to remove the agitator. That is easier said than done. There is no bolt on the inside of the agitator, however it most assuredly seems tightly fastened in place. Aside from taking a sledgehammer to this thing and obliterating it, is there some sort of trick to this? Any and all assistance would be GREATLY appreciated here!

I'm a mother of 5 and REALLY need to get this washer fixed!! I didn't realize how fast this laundry would accrue!

Wrap an old belt or piece of rope under agitator. Loop this around a 2by4 and pry up. This will remove agitator.

Thanks for the suggestion!

The agitator doesn't seem to want to agitate anything but me, at this juncture. I can hear the assembly inside going back and forth, as if whatever is supposed to be moving it is still doing what it needs to do, but it seems as if something inside the agitator is stripped. The washer still fills, drains and spins with no problems... It's just the wash cycle causing me the problem.
