The Filter (Upper Agitator) is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to filter out lint and debris during the washing cycle, ensuring clean and efficient operation. Located in the upper agitator, this filter helps maintain the washing machine's performance by preventing clogs and buildup within the agitator and tub.
Over time, the filter can become clogged or damaged due to accumulated lint, debris, and regular wear and tear. This can lead to reduced filtering efficiency, affecting the overall performance of the washing machine. Physical damage to the filter or its components can also impair its function.
Symptoms of a bad filter include:
- Excessive lint on clothing after washing
- Decreased water flow during cycles
- Strange noises from the agitator area
- Poor cleaning results
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
