Many Whirlpool top loaders with big spiral agitators need slightly deeper notches sliced into the 4 rubber ratchet teeth grippers to get a better grip. Of course then you could just buy some new ones. The top just pops off your agitator and you reach down inside to get the cap out, then a long extension and a 7/16 socket to remove the nut. Good time to clean all that stuff in there.
