Kitchenaid Washer Agitator Parts

The Washer Agitator Dog set is a set of 4 OEM replacement parts for Whirlpool and Kenmore washing machines, designed to engage the agitator, allowing it to move in one direction and lock in the opposite direction. The agitator dogs also come available in the agitator repair kit WP8537433. Check your model number for compatibility.

Symptoms of failing Agitator Dogs include:

• The agitator not moving
• Only moving in one direction
• Clothes not getting cleaned due to lack of agitation
• Clothes becoming tangled

Causes of bad Agitator Dogs can range from normal wear and tear, which gradually erodes their teeth, making them too smooth to engage the agitator properly, to overloading the washing machine, which puts extra stress on the agitator and accelerates the wear of the dogs.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This upper agitator—also called the clothes mover—is the top section of the agitator in select top-load washers. It works with the agitator cam and dogs to roll laundry over during wash strokes. Replace if cracked, stripped, or no longer engaging. What it does:

• Provides the upper vanes that lift and roll clothes for proper turnover during agitation
• Transfers one-way motion from the cam/dogs to the top section of the agitator
• Helps address symptoms like the top section free-spinning, poor turnover/cleaning, rattling/loose feel, or visible cracks/broken fins

• 1 upper agitator (clothes mover)

• Unplug the washer and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the dispenser and cap to access the center fastener; lift out the agitator assembly
• Separate the old upper section from the cam, seat the new clothes mover fully on the splines, and reassemble
• Hand-check for one-way engagement of the top section before running a test cycle
