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).

Tom, This unit is designed to have a low water level when rinsing and to only fill up all the way when on power rinse or permanent press from the information that could be located.

Jennifer for Model Number WLSR3000G5WW

Trying to figure out if I need to replace the complete agitator assembly or just the coupling or if it is something else. I can spin the top portion of the agitator freely by hand. When I start a cycle, there's a lot of loud clicking going on when it gets to the agitation portion and the agitator is just barely agitating or not at all. The machine seems to fill, drain and spin perfectly. Any ideas of where I should start to do the repair? Thank you for any help you may provide.

Hello Jennifer. The best thing is to remove the agitator from the tub assembly. Then you can inspect the coupling to see if it is bad on the unit. This also gives you a chance to inspect the agitator out of the unit.

Jim, Unfortunately there is not a different agitator for your unit. You will want to make sure that you are not overloading the unit as this would be the primary cause for this type of issue.

Hello Vincent. It should be tight. Other wise it will come off. There is no lube needed. You can tap it with a rubber mallet.

Elizabeth, To remove the agitator you would need to use a rope or something you can get under it to gain leverage and pull straight up on it.

Hello Justin, This can be the timer WH12X10254, the transmission WH38X10002, or the clutch, (which is made on the motor assembly WH20X10019). The timer is most likely since you hear a noise from the control panel during the failure.

Hello Ron. No, if the agitator is not working, it sounds like the coupling WH43X10032 will need to be checked out. These do not use dogs.
