Description
Replace the worn or stripped agitator coupling with the genuine GE WH49X10042 Agitator Coupling Kit. This plastic hub fits onto the transmission spline and connects directly to the base of your agitator, ensuring that the transmission's rotational power is effectively transferred for proper washing action.

- Genuine GE OEM part guarantees correct splined fitment for secure coupling
- Durable plastic construction designed to handle high torque loads
- Essential component to restore agitation if the original coupling is stripped or broken
- Easy, quick repair that can often be done without removing the entire transmission
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- Washer runs through the cycle (fills, drains, spins tub) but the agitator does not move
- Agitator spins freely on the shaft with no resistance
- Loud clicking or thudding sounds from the center of the tub during agitation
Compatible Models Include:
This coupling kit fits numerous GE and Hotpoint top-load washing machine models. Always verify compatibility using part number WH49X10042.

Compatibility Note:
This part is typically installed directly onto the transmission spline before the agitator. Ensure the spline teeth on the transmission and the hub itself are not damaged, as a damaged spline will require a more extensive transmission repair.
