PC-144 agitator that moves and tumbles clothes during wash cycles to help loosen soil and distribute water and detergent. Replacing a worn or damaged agitator restores proper wash action and improves cleaning performance. What it does:
- Uses fins/paddles to lift and move garments so water and detergent reach fabric fibers for better cleaning.
- Promotes even water circulation and load movement to reduce tangling and bunching.
- Common service reasons: cracked or broken fins, missing or worn agitator, noisy operation, excessive vibration, or clothes not coming out clean.
- Designed for top-load agitator-style wash systems that use the PC-144 agitator design.
What's included: One PC-144 agitator. Install notes:
- Disconnect power (unplug) and turn off water before starting any repairs.
- Typical replacement requires removing the existing agitator cap and any retaining hardware, then sliding the agitator off the drive post and installing the new unit; procedures vary by model—refer to your model's service manual or diagram.
- If a retaining bolt or special fastener is used on your model, have the correct socket or tool ready; follow manufacturer guidance for proper securing.
