The straight-vane agitator is the finned center post that drives wash action in a top-load washer. It replaces a cracked or stripped agitator to restore proper clothes movement and consistent cleaning performance. What it does:

• Mounts on the drive shaft and oscillates to move laundry through wash water and detergent
• Restores wash action when vanes are broken or the internal splines are worn/stripped
• Helps address weak agitation, clothes not circulating, unusual rattling from a loose agitator, or visible damage
• Direct replacement for the original straight-vane agitator design

• 1 straight-vane agitator

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the center cap and hold-down bolt; lift the old agitator straight up
• Align splines, seat the new agitator, then reinstall the bolt and cap snugly
• Run a short cycle to ensure proper operation
