Richard June 19, 2019 for Model Number PAV3300AWW Where can I find the upper agitator for this model? Everyone is out of stock. Is there a compatible part for a different model? I think I just need some internal piece of plastic rather than the whole post. Thank you
1 Answer Hello Richard, I'm sorry but this part 21001878 has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. You may be able to locate one in a dealerships' inventory but you would need to do an online search for part number 21001878. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Fred Fish January 12, 2019 for Model Number WTW6600SW2 Whirlpool cabrio My whirlpool cabrio with an agitator is 10yrs old. Just had the rotor replaced for noise in the wash cycle. Afterwards I noticed when the machine is not in use I can move the upper agitator by hand in one direction clockwise but it does not move in the other direction . I was thinking it wasn’t movable by hand at all when machine was not in use. So how should it be please ?
1 Answer Fred, the disc agitator is mounted directly to the drive shaft of your unit. With this in mind, you should be able to rotate the agitator and cause the rotor to rotate as well. Your basket is what's called a floating basket so should be able to rotate freely. Read More...
Jamie December 17, 2016 for Model Number PAV2300AWW The upper agitator will repeatedly come loose despite reattaching it via the holding screw. The upper agitator has two parts: the larger outer part, and an inner rotary part. The inner rotary part twists one direction smoothly, and the will move in the other direction with only slight resistance. Is this a problem with the "dogs" in the upper agitator? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jamie, It sounds like the hole that the agitator retention screw WPW10309247 passes through in the upper agitator 21001878 may be wallowed out. If the screw backs out, you should replace it since the new screw comes with threadlock on the threads to prevent backing out. Read More...
Peggy August 10, 2016 The top agitator is loose and floats up during washing...maytag pav-1 washer...do I need to replace top and bottom agitators?
1 Answer Hello Peggy. Make sure the bolt is installed properly. If so, you will need to order and replace the upper agitator on the unit. Read More...
Jeff July 25, 2016 for Model Number AAV7000AWW My admiral washer makes aloud squeeking noise during adjutation. Can you tell me what would make this sound?
1 Answer Jeff, This squeaking noise would be caused by a faulty brake that is slipping during agitation. The parts that you will need to replace this will be the brake rotor WP35-6714 and the brake stator WP35-6918. Read More...
Cooter September 22, 2015 for Model Number PAVT920AWW In the new agitator is there a built in dog of some sort? When I took my old one out I saw somethings that looked like very deteriated plastic parts in the grooves.
Jason Z. August 16, 2015 for Model Number Whirlpool LXR 9445JT1 The agitator is not spinning. I thought it was the dogs, but in doing the hand test, they do lock up when spinning one way. I tried removing the 7/16 bolt on the top, but all it does is spin. I'm guessing that it is something in the gear case, but don't know for sure.
1 Answer Hello Jason, You should remove the agitator from the transmission shaft and see if the top of the shaft is agitating. If not, you could have a clutch 285785 or gearcase 3360629 issue. Read More...
Ken August 16, 2014 for Model Number PAV2300AWW The shaft and auger separate and the auger floats up. With a new part, 21001878 the same thing happens. Is the part defective or am I missing something?
1 Answer Hello Ken, The screw should be installed after the top half of the agitator is installed. It should aid in the retention of the auger post. Read More...
Matt March 08, 2014 for Model Number PAV3200AWW Rev. 10 Hi I am trying to replace the agitator dogs (part # 80040) in the upper agitator (part # AP4024469). Is this possible and if so how do i disassemble the upper agitator? Thank you
1 Answer Hello Matt. You model does not have the type of agitator that you can replace the dogs. You would need to replace the upper agitator part# 21001878. There is a video on the part page that will show you how to do the repair. Read More...
Kelly January 23, 2014 for Model Number PAV2300AWW Agitator doesn't rotate during cycle. The drum spins to drain the water but the auger doesn't spin to clean the clothes. It makes the "motor noise" as it would usually but the auger is not turning. I checked the agitator base and it seems to be in good shape and the bolt connecting the base and the top agitator is fine and tight. Im assuming it is the top agitator / auger piece that needs to be replaced 21001878? Thoughts?
1 Answer Kelly, Does the agitator base 21001530 oscillate back and forth in the wash cycle, if so then the issue will be in the upper agitator 21001878 The locking mechanism called "Dogs" has failed and isn't locking the agitator. If the agitator base doesn't oscillate in the wash cycle, then you'll need to remove the upper agitator and the agitator base and check the splines on the bottom, inside center of the base, to see if they have been " stripped" out and not grasping the splines on the agitator output shaft.
