Ginger July 30, 2025 for Model Number 11028732700 Is the agitator supposed to move in a complete circle clockwise and clockwise?
1 Answer Hello Ginger, and thank you for your question. During agitation, the bottom portion of the agitator (part # WP8538246 ) will oscillate back and forth in full rotations. The upper portion, however, is designed to rotate only in the clockwise direction. This is controlled by the agitator dogs (part # 80040 ), which grip and engage during clockwise motion. When the agitator moves counterclockwise, the dogs release, allowing the upper portion to stay stationary. Read More...
Celeste January 26, 2025 for Model Number Whirlpool ultimate II My agitator comes completely up. Seems like it should be attached. I got this machine used. Repair guy wants to replace the entire assembly. It's far necessary?
1 Answer Celeste, We will need to have the model number of your unit to be able to determine what may be wrong but in most cases, there will be a bolt holding the agitator in place. Read More...
Kent July 05, 2024 for Model Number wtw4816fw3 When trying to remove the agitator hold down bolt, the entire assembly moves/turns so that the bolt can not be removed. The agitator is loose from the shaft. How to remove the bolt?
1 Answer Hello Kent, thank you for contacting APP, You will need to secure the Agitator/Shaft so it cannot move. Sometimes a ratchet strap wrapped around the agitator and then secured to the unit or to a 2x4 that you can hold onto to keep the shaft from moving will work. If that does not work because the agitator is spinning on the shaft the agitator will need to be broken into pieces to access the shaft and then the shaft itself secured so that the bolt can be removed, and the Agitator Assembly [WP3951744] will need to be replaced.

Henry April 07, 2024 for Model Number 11029722800 Have a Kenmore washer 11029722800. Was trying to remove the agitator to inspect and clean but the bottom portion of the agitator will not come out. Top portion is removed but bottom portion doesn't. Is there an additional screw that needs to be removed?
1 Answer Henry, Once the screw that holds the top on is removed the rest should pull out...maybe try a strap slid under the agitator to pull it up and off. Read More...
Caroline August 05, 2023 for Model Number WTW4816FW2 Is this the complete agitator, top and bottom, or just the top?

Mrhousehusban May 12, 2023 for Model Number WTW8127LC I bought my washer in 2020. I noticed the clothes, if the load size is anywhere from medium to large, in Deep Water, the clothes does not perform a top-to-bottom rotation. The clothes only move side to side, never rotating from top to bottom, rotating under the water. It's as if the agitator is not forcing the clothes to circulate. After a wash, my clothes still smell like they did when I first put them in the washer - even after adding HE Detergent, HE bleach, HE fabric softener, and rinsing twice. My Clothes Are Not Getting Clean. HELP!! Can my agitator be swapped out for a larger agitator? Will that help my clothes circulate as they should?
1 Answer MrHouseHusban, as this model utilizes a washplate and agitator accessory, the unit is designed to only be loosely filled to 1/3 of the tub unless the agitator is in place and then it can be loosely filled to 1/2 of the tub. If this is still occurring, and no error codes appear, the main control W11510463 is likely not sending voltage to the motor properly. Read More...
Eye April 20, 2023 for Model Number LSR 7233DZ1 The base of the agitator does not spin. I have replaced the cogs, and checked all parts inside and everything looks good. But when I put the top part and the base part of the agitator together, the base is stiff. I move the top part, and it spins, but the bottom part does not move, and likewise when it is put back into the washer, the base would not move, it is very tight, like it needs a lot of grease. Do you know what could be the problem? Thank you!
1 Answer Eye, The base of the agitator will only move when the washer is agitating. If it is not moving when agitating then the issue will be with the gearcase. Read More...

Will this still work? The 3951744??? Let me know thanks
1 Answer Lee, Thanks for the question!!! Yes, the manufacturer calls for part number 3951744 285565 for the agitator assembly to be used with your model number. Read More...
Traildad December 28, 2021 for Model Number Whirlpool wtw5100vq0 My agitator barely moves while washing. When turned off I can move the lower agitator by hand. It seems to spin and drain ok. I have replaced the entire agitator assembly and the motor/transmission coupler. I first noticed the problem when it was making a loud noise when washing. Should I be able to move it by hand? Does that mean the transmission is bad?
1 Answer Traildad, The agitator bottom should not move by hand and if you can move it bay hand then this will be a transmission issue in which the transmission will need to be replaced. Read More...
