Description
Restore proper cleaning action to your top-load washer with the Whirlpool 22001821 Agitator Assembly. This genuine OEM part is responsible for the back-and-forth motion that cleans clothes during the wash cycle, a function critical to the entire washing process. If the agitator is stripped, wobbly, or if its fins are broken, cleaning performance will suffer, potentially leading to an incomplete cycle. The assembly sits on the transmission splined shaft and is typically secured with a single retaining screw.
Features & Benefits:
- Washing Action: Provides the necessary movement to circulate clothes and water, ensuring an effective clean.
- OEM Quality: Manufactured to Whirlpool's exact specifications for a secure fit on the transmission shaft.
- Durable Construction: Made from robust plastic material built to withstand constant back-and-forth motion.
- Simple Replacement: Installation often only requires removing one retaining screw with a socket or nut driver.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The washer runs, but the clothes are not agitating or only moving weakly.
- The top portion of the agitator spins freely on the base spline.
- The agitator fins or vanes are broken, potentially tearing clothing.
