WH43X30957 General Electric Washing Machine Agitator

Washing Machine Agitator

The agitator is a genuine OEM part designed for GE washing machines, compatible with various brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and some Sears-Kenmore models. It plays a crucial role in the washing process by moving water and clothes against each other, which helps in removing dirt and stains. The design of the agitator creates currents in the wash water to agitate the clothes, ensuring thorough exposure to detergent and water throughout the wash cycle.

The need to replace the agitator often arises from normal wear and tear, which can diminish its effectiveness, or from physical damage. Overloading the washing machine or the presence of foreign objects can lead to blockages or damage.

Indications of a failing agitator include:
- Clothes not being as clean as usual
- The agitator being loose or improperly attached to its base
- Unusual noises during the wash cycle

This part is also suitable for use with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
