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).

Hello Mike. You jerk upward on the agitator to remove it from the unit. You may need to use a rope under the agitator to jerk upward.

Hello Jojo, The agitator on this model snaps onto the agitator coupler. If the agitator will not pop off easily by pulling straight up on it, you can try placing a small rope under it and allow it to come out from under the agitator at even points side to side and yank up on the rope.

Hello Singh. You need to check and make sure the water is draining from the unit properly. Also, blow through the pressure hose and make sure the line for the pressure hose is clear. Either will prevent the unit from going into the spin cycle.

Hello Nia. Run a rope under the old agitator and jerk upward to remove the old one. Then align the slots on the coupling with the new agitator WH43X10034 and press the agitator into place in the unit.

Hello BackyardBob, If you grab ahold of the agitator bottom and give the agitator a good jerk it should come off the agitator coupling.

Hello Mark. Remove the cap from the top of the agitator. It unsnaps off the agitator. Then remove the bolt in the center. Once removed, the agitator will lift out of the washer tub assembly.

Hello Ben, If the leveling foot has made a hole in the base of the unit then you would have to replace the base. Check your suspension rods to make sure that they are in place properly and make sure that they are not damaged.

Ryan for Model Number WJSR4160G2WW

The agitator Assembly, It seems the top half spins one direction but not the other. There also sounds like something rattling in there when I shake it. The agitator coupling seems to be in good shape. Also when the assembly is on the shaft there is some play back and forth and while the washer is running it sounds like an unbalanced load in the washer, Not in spin cycle just while agitating. Any help here would be awesome. Maybe the washer tub bearing under the inner tub?

1 Answer

Hello Ryan, The agitator has a ratcheting device made inside it so it will turn only one way. This is designed like this so the clothes will be properly agitated and produce a proper wash result. It will rattle because of the way it is designed. If the noise bothers you, you can try washing larger loads so it is in the water more. This is the only thing you can do since this apparatus is designed to do what you said it is doing.

Hello Tom, There should not be any play in the agitator or the transmission shaft. If you are getting 3/4" play then check to make sure that the agitator is fully in place properly and see if transmission shaft has that much play.
