Kenmore / Sears Agitator Parts

This Agitator Auger is the upper half of a dual-action washer agitator. It works with the agitator cam and dogs to create the screw-like motion that pulls clothes downward; replace if the top agitator slips, cracks, or stops turning.

• Forms the upper agitator that produces the ratcheting, spiral action for proper wash turnover
• Common symptoms include the upper agitator not moving, free-spinning or slipping under load, and visible cracks or stripped splines/fins
• Restores correct clothing movement and agitation performance when the upper section no longer drives

• Disconnect power and water before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and inner cap, then unbolt and lift off the agitator to access the auger
• Transfer internal components (cam and agitator dogs) if reusing; inspect for wear during reassembly
• Align splines, seat the auger fully, tighten fasteners securely, and test the agitation function

This agitator drive shaft sits inside the washer's gearcase and transfers motion to the agitator. Replacing a worn or stripped shaft restores firm engagement and reliable wash action while helping reduce slip and grinding during agitation.

• Transfers oscillating motion from the transmission to the agitator
• Provides the splined interface that engages the agitator/coupler
• Common symptoms include no agitation, intermittent/slipping agitation, or grinding/clicking from the gearcase
• Visible wear, rounded splines, or a bent shaft can lead to a loose or non-moving agitator

• Disconnect power and water; use proper PPE
• Requires removing the cabinet and gearcase; drain and reseal the gearcase per service procedures
• Keep gears, spacers, and clips in order; reassemble in the original orientation
• Inspect mating parts (agitator coupler/splines, drive block, seals) and replace if worn

This washer agitator is the central wash-motion component. It mounts to the drive hub and churns laundry through water and detergent, restoring proper turnover when the original agitator is cracked, stripped, or missing.

• Creates the back-and-forth wash action that moves clothes through the wash water
• Restores proper turnover and cleaning when the old agitator is damaged or worn
• Typical symptoms: no or weak agitation, clothes not moving, clicking/ratcheting from the agitator area, or a loose/wobbly agitator
• Visual issues may include cracks, stripped splines, or a unit that lifts off easily

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove the softener dispenser and cap, then the center bolt/retainer; pull the old agitator straight up
• Align splines and seat the new agitator fully; reuse existing bolt and cap unless damaged
• Do not overtighten the fastener; run a short test cycle to ensure proper agitation

This is the central wash-action component in select top-load washers. Replacing a worn or damaged agitator restores proper agitation so clothes circulate through water and detergent for consistent cleaning performance. What it does:

• Converts drive motion into the back-and-forth action that moves laundry

• 1 agitator assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and inner cap to access the center bolt
• Remove the bolt, lift off the old agitator, seat the new agitator on the splined shaft, and secure the bolt
• Reinstall the cap/dispenser; reuse original hardware as applicable and check for a secure fit before testing

This agitator base is the lower section of the washer's agitator. It couples to the drive shaft to move clothes through water and detergent, restoring proper turnover and wash action when the original base is worn, cracked, or stripped.

• Provides the oscillating motion that circulates laundry and detergent for even cleaning
• Maintains proper connection and alignment with the drive shaft
• Helps reduce tangling by rolling clothes over during the wash
• Typical symptoms include no or weak agitation, clothes not circulating, or a wobbling agitator

• Disconnect power to the washer before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and agitator cap; remove the center agitator bolt and lift the agitator off the shaft
• Separate the old lower base from the upper section; install the new base, aligning splines, and seat fully
• Reinstall the bolt, cap, and dispenser; run a quick test cycle to ensure proper agitation

• After reassembly, run a short test cycle to ensure the agitator engages and functions correctly

This agitator mover is the upper auger section of a dual-action agitator. It ratchets in one direction to drive clothes downward for proper turnover, helping restore effective wash action when the original mover is worn or damaged. What it does:

• Creates the one-way, ratcheting motion of the agitator's upper section
• Helps circulate and roll laundry downward for thorough turnover
• Common symptoms of failure: weak agitation, top auger not advancing, clicking/slipping sounds, or visible cracks/stripped splines
• Needed after damage from overloading or long-term wear
