Maytag Agitator Parts

This cam assembly kit includes the components that allow the agitator's upper portion to ratchet in one direction during the wash cycle. The cams engage and release to create the back-and-forth agitation motion that cleans clothes. Replace this kit if the agitator spins freely in both directions without gripping, makes clicking or grinding noises, or no longer agitates clothes effectively.

Fix a washer that won't agitate or has stripped agitator teeth. This central wash-motion component mounts to the drive hub. DIY-friendly repair.

Upper agitator not turning or engaging? This washer clothes mover works with cam and dogs to roll laundry. DIY repair in 15-30 minutes with video guide.

Fixes poor wash action, excessive noise, and tangled clothes. Replace your washer's impeller washplate if cracked or stripped to restore 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
• Circulates clothes to improve soil removal and reduce tangling
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or loose agitators that cause weak or no agitation
• Common symptoms include poor cleaning, clothes not moving during wash, or an agitator that wobbles or spins freely by hand

• 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

Agitator not working or spinning freely? This upper auger assembly restores the one-way ratcheting action for proper clothes rollover and cleaning.

Agitator spinning but clothes stay wet? A worn cam prevents proper engagement. This replacement cam restores washing action. 15-30 minute DIY repair.

Agitator won't move or slips during wash? A worn drive shaft causes weak agitation. This shaft transfers motion from the gearcase to restore firm engagement.

Replace a broken washplate cap that's causing clothing to snag on the agitator bolt. Snap-in installation in minutes. Fits top-load washers.

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

• 1 agitator mover (upper auger)

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and agitator cap; take out the center retainer/bolt to access the mover
• Lift off the old mover and seat the new mover fully on the agitator
• Reinstall the retainer/bolt and cap; verify smooth ratcheting action before use

This low-profile washplate sits at the bottom of the tub and moves the load through water for proper cleaning. Replace a stripped, cracked, or loose washplate to restore wash action and reduce noise or slippage.

• Mounts to the drive hub to rotate and circulate laundry during the wash cycle
• Helps create water currents and friction to loosen soils
• Worn or stripped splines can cause slipping and poor agitation
• Common symptoms: clothes not moving, poor cleaning results, unusual clicking/grinding from the tub base, visible cracks or wobble

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the center cap/cover, then remove the retaining bolt and lift off the old washplate
• Clean and inspect the hub splines; seat the new plate fully and reinstall the bolt—do not overtighten
• Run a short test cycle to ensure proper wash action

Fix a washer agitator that won't turn or spins weakly with this lower agitator base. Restores proper wash action when worn, cracked, or stripped.

If your washer agitator spins freely or clothes aren't agitating properly, this assembly restores the back-and-forth motion. DIY repair in 10-30 minutes.

PC-144 agitator that moves and tumbles clothes during wash cycles to help loosen soil and distribute water and detergent. Replacing a worn or damaged agitator restores proper wash action and improves cleaning performance. What it does:

• Uses fins/paddles to lift and move garments so water and detergent reach fabric fibers for better cleaning.
• Promotes even water circulation and load movement to reduce tangling and bunching.
• Common service reasons: cracked or broken fins, missing or worn agitator, noisy operation, excessive vibration, or clothes not coming out clean.
• Designed for top-load agitator-style wash systems that use the PC-144 agitator design.

• Disconnect power (unplug) and turn off water before starting any repairs.
• Typical replacement requires removing the existing agitator cap and any retaining hardware, then sliding the agitator off the drive post and installing the new unit; procedures vary by model—refer to your model's service manual or diagram.
• If a retaining bolt or special fastener is used on your model, have the correct socket or tool ready; follow manufacturer guidance for proper securing.

Washer making noise or experiencing weak water circulation? This impeller cap secures the wash pump impeller for proper water flow and performance.

Impeller cap that fits over the pump impeller to protect moving parts and help maintain proper water circulation. Replacing a cracked or missing cap helps reduce leaks and restore reliable pump performance. What it does:

• Covers and protects the pump impeller from debris and direct contact.
• Helps maintain correct water flow and impeller alignment inside the pump housing.
• A damaged or missing cap can cause reduced circulation, noisy operation, or leaks near the pump area.
• Small, inexpensive replacement that can prevent further pump damage when installed promptly.

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before accessing the pump area.
• Access may require removing an access panel or lower kick plate; keep fasteners and panels organized.
• Press the cap onto the impeller until fully seated; avoid forcing if resistance indicates other damage.
• Inspect the impeller and nearby seals while replacing the cap; replace the pump assembly or seals if they show wear.
