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

This dishwasher door spring counterbalances the door's weight for smooth, controlled opening and closing. Replacing a worn or broken spring restores proper door tension and helps prevent the door from dropping quickly or feeling heavy.

• Provides tension to counterbalance the dishwasher door during opening and closing
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling overly heavy
• A weakened or broken spring can cause uneven door movement, squeaks, or the door not staying in a partial-open position
• Restores smooth, even door operation when replaced

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the toe-kick and carefully slide the dishwasher out to access the side/frame area where the spring attaches
• Note the original spring attachment points and orientation; install the new spring in the same locations
• Springs are under tension—use caution and hand protection; many replace both springs together to maintain balanced tension
