Washing Machine Agitator Repair Kit

The Agitator Repair Kit is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for use with various Whirlpool top-loading washing machines. This kit is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Positioned at the heart of the wash basket, the agitator is pivotal for effective cleaning during the wash cycle. The kit includes a plastic cam and four plastic dogs, essential for fixing agitators that are noisy or not functioning correctly.

Typical issues with agitator performance often stem from wear and tear. Frequent use can lead to cracks in the plastic head housing, affecting the agitator's performance and durability. Signs of a failing agitator may include diminished movement, resulting in inadequate soil removal from clothing, unusual noises such as knocking or excessive vibration, and instability of the central pole assembly.
