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).

Hello Terri. Blow through the pressure hose and remove all debris from the air dome on the side of the outer tub. If the unit still does not spin fast enough, check the belt and look for a flashing error code on the top of the motor.

Al, For the leaking issue would say to check the tub ring to make sure that it still has solution in it. Also check the tub seal. It is possible that the suspension rods on the unit are bad causing the unbalance issue and check the apron where the suspension hangs from as it may be sagging in which you will need the apron kit part number WH49X20925.
