This agitator assembly is a key component in many washing machines, designed to rotate back and forth during the wash cycle to help loosen dirt and stains from clothing. It features a central shaft with multiple fins that create friction between garments for effective cleaning. If the agitator fails to move properly or produces unusual noises such as grinding or rattling, it may be damaged and require replacement. A faulty agitator can also lead to uneven distribution of clothes and poor wash results.

Part was exact to one needing replaced - shipped quickly
Part came very quickly which was fantastic. Who wants to be without a washer? Install was ok, due to the piece being so long, you need something that can reach down to secure the agitator in. Works great. Would order from here again. We have had some bad luck with washers, due to manufacture of product. This website has saved us more than once. 100% recommend

Clicking Noise When Agitating
- Shut off power to the washer - Removed cap on top of agitator - First, I tried using a ratchet set to remove the bolt that is inside the agitator at the baseplate. Tub would spin when I tried this method, so I used an air impact with long extensions. One press of the impact and the bolt loosened. - Tied a pair of shoelaces together and stuffed them inside the seam around the agitator baseplate. I put the shoelaces half way around the baseplate. Get it in the seam then with two hands, each with an end of the shoelace, pull up on the baseplate. Success!! - Installed the new agitator with base plate and then used the ratchet set to tighten the bolt. Didn’t want to take a chance on stripping the bolt inside the agitator with the air impact when tightening.

The spin cicle is extremly noisy. It appears to be a bad bearing. Can this bearing be replaced?
For model number MVWC565FW0
Hello Nick, thank you for your inquiry. According to our understanding, the issue is most probably with the bearing. The bearing comes along with the transmission, part number PS16220911. You may need to replace the transmission to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
Hi Chris, Thank you for reaching out. If the washer spins but will not switch to agitate, you may have a faulty actuator PS16221077. We hope this solves your problem!
won't agitate .....it will only work in the normal load.....
For model number WTW5105HW1
Hello Al, thank you for contacting us. If your washing machine will not agitate but works in the normal load cycle, the issue could be related to the agitator assembly, part number PS16620354. We would recommend checking it to solve the problem. We hope this helps!
