Washing Machine repair.?

Question

I have a Wirlpool Cabrio, and a penny went under the thing thats in place of what would be the agitator.

Is there a way to open that up to retrieve the penny?

and how bad will that penny hurt it?

Answer 1

:Yes!

If you look at that thing as you say, You will see on the very top a small round cover.

pry this cover off and you will find a recess that has a nut or s***w in it.

take this nut or s***w out. Then pull the thing up and out of washer.

You should find the penny under it.

This thing comes out just like the old agitators did. They just did away with the agitators and replaced it with this new looking do flicky.

Answer 2

Put the machine in spin only and that should move the penny out.
