Manufacturer Part Number: WH43X10034

The Agitator Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This essential component is responsible for moving clothes during the wash cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning by continually shifting the laundry within the drum. The agitator's design includes fins or vanes that help to circulate water and detergent through the clothes, effectively removing dirt without causing excessive wear to the fabric.

Symptoms of a bad Agitator Assembly include:

  • The agitator not moving or only moving weakly during the wash cycle.
  • Unusual noises like grinding or thumping indicating mechanical issues.
  • Clothes coming out still dirty or less clean than expected, suggesting insufficient agitation.
  • The top portion of the agitator moving independently from the base, known as "stripped" agitator dogs.

Causes of a bad agitator can include worn out mechanical parts such as gears or bearings, a damaged drive shaft, or the agitator becoming detached from the transmission due to loosening of the securing bolt.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models,

Pro Tip: When replacing the agitator, also consider replacing the agitator coupling (WH49X10042).

Clayton, you're correct. The agitator auger should "lock" in one direction, so you will need a new agitator WH43X10034. I would seriously consider replacing both, the coupler kit WH49X10042 and agitator at the same time. Thanks and Good Luck.

Hi TJ. Take the back control panel off. Take the hose off the pressure switch and blow backwards into the tub. If yo cleared out any obstruction, then you will start needing to use washer magic cleaner monthly to help remove scum build-up that clogg's causing Issues. Then take a similar hose of the same size to blow back into the pressure switch while calling for agitation by the timer. If your washer still does not start , then you will need to replace the pressure switch part # WH12X10321. Thank you.

Hello Marlene. These agitators WH43X10034 can be difficult to remove. Try putting a rope under the agitator and pulling upwards to remove it. Hope this helps.

Hello. The first thing you will need to check is the belt WH1X2026 on the unit. Make sure it is not broke. If it is good, turn the pulley by hand and see if the transmission WH38X10002 is locked up. Hope this helps.
