Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Clothes are not cleaned effectively when the agitator does not move or moves weakly.
• Agitator movement is accompanied by unusual noise.
• Agitator feels loose or shows visible cracking, fin damage, or spline wear.

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer unplugged, visually inspect the agitator for cracks, damaged fins, looseness, or obvious deformation.
• Confirm that no clothing, coins, or other objects are obstructing the agitator area.
• During a normal agitation portion of a cycle, observe from a safe position whether the agitator moves back and forth; do not reach into a moving washer.
• If the agitator is loose or does not move correctly, have the washer and related drive components evaluated rather than assuming the agitator is the cause.
