Description
Restore the crucial washing action of your appliance with the genuine OEM Whirlpool 285825 Agitator Cam Repair Kit. This kit, compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers, contains the internal components—the cam, agitator dogs, spring, and seals—that translate the vertical motion of the transmission shaft into the turning action of the upper agitator. When these parts wear out, the agitator slips and stops cleaning effectively.
Features & Benefits
- Genuine OEM Factory Certified Kit for reliably fixing common agitator slippage problems.
- Includes the plastic **Agitator Dogs** (cogs) that engage the agitator cam to create the turning motion.
- Corrects the issue where the bottom of the agitator moves but the top section slips or stops.
- Considered a "Fast and very easy fix" for quickly restoring proper agitation.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
- Washer runs, but the agitator (the vertical column of plastic) is not turning or agitating the clothes.
- Clothes are not getting properly cleaned, often remaining wet or soapy.
- A clicking, grinding, or ratcheting sound is heard during the wash cycle without proper agitation.
- The upper section of the two-part agitator spins freely by hand in both directions.

Compatibility Note
Installation Tip: This kit is specifically for Whirlpool/Maytag direct-drive models. You must remove the fabric softener dispenser (if present) and the agitator top cap to access the worn-out dogs and cam. The repair often requires a socket wrench (usually 1/2-inch) to remove the agitator bolt. Always unplug the washer before starting this repair.
