Customer Questions and Answers for Agitator Cam (Single) by Whirlpool

This agitator cam is the replacement cam that fits under the washer agitator to engage the transmission and help transfer motion. Replacing a worn or broken cam restores secure agitator engagement for reliable washing action. What it does:

• Locks the agitator to the drive so the agitator oscillates and reverses during wash cycles
• Replaces a damaged or worn cam that can cause the agitator to slip, spin freely, or fail to agitate
• Works with the agitator assembly and dogs to maintain proper drive engagement
• Restores proper mechanical linkage between the agitator and the washer transmission

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Remove the agitator, inspect agitator dogs and splines for wear, and replace if needed
• Install the cam into the agitator and reassemble in reverse order of removal following the OEM service instructions
• After reassembly, run a short test cycle to ensure the agitator engages and functions correctly
