Washer Not Agitating? Frigidaire Agitator 5304515845 – Fix Drum Failure Fast
When your Frigidaire front-load washer stops agitating, clothes come out soaking wet, twisted, or barely cleaned. In most Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washers, this is caused by a failed drum agitator. When it fails, the drum may spin freely with no resistance, leaving laundry unclean and potentially damaging the drum bearing and motor over time. ⚡ Common failure point in Frigidaire-built front-load washers. Part 5304515845 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full wash action and protects downstream components.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ QUALIFIER 1 — washer powers on and the cycle runs normally
- ✔ QUALIFIER 2 — drum spins but clothes are not being tumbled or agitated
- ✔ QUALIFIER 3 — water supply and drain confirmed OK
- ✔ ONLY problem is drum not agitating / clothes not being cleaned

- Loud banging or grinding during the wash cycle

If the agitator failed due to excessive vibration or imbalance, the drum bearing (part # 131525500 or equivalent) is likely worn as well. Replacing both in the same service call saves a second labour visit and prevents premature failure on the new agitator.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: INTERMEDIATE — 45–90 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Requires partial disassembly of the front panel and drum access. Torque the agitator mounting bolt to manufacturer spec — overtightening can crack the housing. Inspect drum spider arms for hairline cracks before reinstalling.
