  • Vibration or shaking issues during agitation
  • Improper or lack of agitating of clothes
  • An agitator that is difficult to rotate by hand

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Complete Agitator Assembly (Part Number: OEM9283386)

1 Answer

Hello Jess. It sounds like the gearcase W11454741 has failed and will need to be replaced on the unit. The oil is coming out of it.

Hello Scott, In severe cases the agitator can be chiseled off. Before doing this I would recommend to let the bolt soak in penetrating oil to try to loosen it up.

Elizabeth, A couple of checks to make, try to slip you finger tips under the bottom of the agitator, there shouldn't be any more than 1/4 to 3/8 inch upward movement if there's more you will need to remove the cap and tighten the agitator bolt. Take an old nylon stocking, lightly bundle it up and pass it over the agitator and tub surface, if there are any sharp edges or damaged areas it will snag and you can smooth out the spot with sand paper or replace the agitator ( this is a nylon stocking, what snags that, may not be big enough to snag or tear "normal" articles. If all is OK or in range/expectations, reduce the load size and try to reduce the amount of "mixed" loads.

Hello Justin, If we could ask you to please re-post with the model number from your units' I.D. tag, we can look it up and give you a good diagnosis and part numbers. The first thing I would check on a top load Whirlpool Direct drive is the skate plate WP3946509. This is assuming your model number is this configuration.

Mike, The issue could be the motor coupler that is bad but normally would have issue during the spin as well. The most likely cause of the issue would be worn out agitator dogs or agitator cam.

Mike, The complete agitator assembly does have the agitator repair kit in it, including the cam and the dogs. It will not have the bolt so you will either want to get another bolt or a little lock tite for the threads to make sure that it does not loosen while in use.

Hello Rob. Yes, the agitator may be bad and need to be replaced in the unit. Check and see if the splines are gone inside the agitator. If so, you will need to replace the part.
