Agitator
The removable centre must lock into place when reinstalled; removing it leaves the impeller in the tub.

Agitator and tub

The catalogue lists the agitator, impeller and impeller cap separately. The quick-start guide documents owner removal and refitting of the centre agitator for switching wash modes.

Drive and water parts

The parts diagrams identify a separate shift actuator, gearcase, motor and belt. Water-related assemblies include the drain pump and inlet assembly; the tub suspension is listed as a set of four dampers with its bushings and balls.
