Common Symptoms
- Upper agitator section does not rotate or engage normally during agitation
- Broken, cracked, or missing agitator fins
- Agitator makes abnormal noise during operation
- Agitator is loose or wobbles excessively
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect washer power before inspecting the agitator.
- With the washer empty and powered off, visually inspect the agitator for broken fins, cracks, excessive wear, or deformation.
- Check whether the agitator is loose or visibly wobbly when gently moved by hand; do not force it.
- Confirm that the agitator is seated fully on its coupler or drive shaft and that the visible engagement slots or splines appear aligned.
- If the agitator appears intact and properly seated but agitation remains ineffective, have the drive system and related components evaluated rather than assuming the agitator is the cause.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the assembly, compare the old and new agitators and inspect the coupler or drive-shaft engagement area; a properly seated agitator should be aligned and firmly mounted without forcing it.
