The medium cam agitator repair kit is an OEM part for Whirpool washers. It includes 4 agitator dogs, a medium length cam, a cap seal, a washer for the agitator bolt, and a thrust washer.
Symptoms of a bad part:
- The agitator not working or turning
- Loud grinding or clicking noises during the wash cycle
