This is the upper agitator (auger) assembly for top-load washers. It restores the one-way ratcheting action that pulls laundry downward during the wash stroke for proper rollover and cleaning performance. What it does:

  • Drives the top half of a dual-action agitator to move clothes down in the tub
  • Replaces a worn or stripped auger that lets the top agitator stop or slip
  • Helps resolve weak agitation or poor clothes rollover
  • Addresses clicking/grinding from worn internal ratchet components
What's included:
  • 1 agitator auger assembly
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing
  • Remove the fabric softener dispenser and agitator cap, then the agitator bolt
  • Lift off the old auger, align splines, and seat the new auger on the lower agitator
  • Reinstall the bolt and caps; run a short wash to confirm proper agitation
