Whirlpool Washer Washer Parts and Accessory 203852
The 203852 is the genuine OEM agitator for Whirlpool, Roper, and Estate top-load washing machines. The agitator is the central post in the wash tub that rotates back and forth during the wash cycle to move clothes through the water and detergent, providing the mechanical action needed to lift and remove soils. When the agitator cracks, strips its drive coupling, or breaks, the washer drum may spin but clothes will not agitate — resulting in poor cleaning and clothes that come out still dirty. This is a direct OEM replacement for a precise fit with no modifications required.
