Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Complete Agitator Assembly (Part Number: OEM9283386)

1 Answer

Hi Keith. The agitator dogs will catch the inner sides as you turn it clockwise but releases as you turn it counterclockwise. The agiator has a top and bottom that snap together to form 1 piece. Then slides on and bolts to the top of the transmission shaft. Then the fabric cup snaps into the top. The unit can be lifted up and leaned carefully back. If you see any black rubber dust under the transmission, replace the motor coupler part # is 285753A. Thank you.

Hello Jcolby5801. Check and see if the agitator will turn by hand in both directions. If so, you will need to replace the cam kit 285809. Hope this helps.

Hello Ted. You will need to use a socket and an extension bar to remove the screw. You may need to hold the base of the agitator with one hand, while removing the screw with the other. Hope this helps.

Hello Dale! You should be able to lift up on the agitator and it will pull out once the center bolt is removed. Thanks.
