Customer Questions and Answers for Agitator Assembly by Ge

4.89 (64)
By: Ge
Part Number: OEM11895474
Manufacturer Part Number: WH43X10034

The Agitator Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This essential component is responsible for moving clothes during the wash cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning by continually shifting the laundry within the drum. The agitator's design includes fins or vanes that help to circulate water and detergent through the clothes, effectively removing dirt without causing excessive wear to the fabric.

Symptoms of a bad Agitator Assembly include:

  • The agitator not moving or only moving weakly during the wash cycle.
  • Unusual noises like grinding or thumping indicating mechanical issues.
  • Clothes coming out still dirty or less clean than expected, suggesting insufficient agitation.
  • The top portion of the agitator moving independently from the base, known as "stripped" agitator dogs.

Causes of a bad agitator can include worn out mechanical parts such as gears or bearings, a damaged drive shaft, or the agitator becoming detached from the transmission due to loosening of the securing bolt.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models,

Pro Tip: When replacing the agitator, also consider replacing the agitator coupling (WH49X10042).

Answer

Pete, There should be a 1/4 to 3/8 inch gap between the bottom of the agitator and the tub. You may wan t to remove the agitator and check that the coupler is seated all the way down and secured tightly with the bolt. As for the spin issue, were the tub bearings in good condition or did you replace those as well? The belt WH1X2026 is it new as well? Did you properly seat the motor in the platform? 1. Set motor back on platform, with motor pulled all the way forward so locator pin is NOT seated in platform. 2. Hand start the four motor nut. 3. Push motor back so motor alignment pin drops into platform. 4. Tighten motor nuts. 5. Reconnect wire harness. 6. Apply belt tool (WX05X10102) to motor pulley. 7. Attach belt to large pulley using zip tie. 8. With belt looped on drive pulley, rotate large pulley until the belt slack is taken up. 9. Rotate pulley until belt is seated in motor grooves. 10. Remove belt tool and carefully cut off zip tie. 11. Put machine in spin for 60 seconds and then lift the lid. Ensure machine brakes to a complete stop under 7 seconds. If not, check lid switch and repeat brake check. BRAKE FUNCTION MUST BE WORKING. SERVICE TIP: MUST BE SURE BELT IS FULLY SEATED IN MOTOR PULLEY GROOVES" Thanks and Good Luck.
