Customer Questions and Answers for Cam-Agitator (Agitator Cam) by Whirlpool

This cam-agitator is the replacement cam that guides the agitator's motion in compatible top-load washing machines, restoring proper agitation and helping the washer move clothes through the wash cycle effectively. What it does:

• Replaces the worn or broken agitator cam that controls the agitator's directional movement.
• Helps restore normal agitation when the agitator slips, spins freely, or fails to shift between wash and spin.
• Works with the agitator assembly to transfer drive action from the transmission to the agitator.
• Designed to fit and align with the agitator and related fasteners for reliable operation.

• Basic mechanical skill and common hand tools required; your machine's service manual for model-specific guidance.
• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning repairs to avoid shock or injury.
• Inspect related parts (agitator, dogs, bolt, and spline) and replace if worn to prevent repeat failure.
