Manufacturer Part Number: 22001821

The Agitator is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is the central component in the washing machine drum, responsible for moving the water and clothes around to ensure thorough cleaning. The agitator’s movement helps to release dirt and distribute detergent evenly throughout the load.

Causes of a bad Agitator include the wear and tear of daily use, the breakdown of its internal components like the gears or the agitator dogs, or overload of the machine that can stress the agitator.

Symptoms of a failing Agitator are:

  • Ineffective cleaning of clothes
  • Unusual noises during the wash cycle
  • The agitator moving loosely or not at all

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Hello Jimmie, You either have a bad timer, (If the first two digits in the serial number begin with 14 or below, order 22003366. If the first two digits are 15 or higher order WP22003362), or a bad drive motor 12002353. You can test these with a test meter using the wiring diagram from the tech sheet on the unit. It normally isn't a bad idea to replace the belt set 12112425 in case of a stretched belt which impairs performance. You can order a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3 if you don't have one. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
