Whirlpool WP389386 Agitator Assembly OEM Part

I have a 25 year old Kenmore washer that works well and didn't want to get a new washer as they don't make them like they used to. Upon removing the top cap of the agitator and doing an inspection, the agitator dogs were completely broken into pieces. Due to age we decided to replace the lower and upper agitator along with the agitator auger dogs repair kit. All new parts and works fine. On inspection of old parts, we probably could have gotten away with just a $5 repair for the plastic dogs in the auger, instead of the $131 dollar repair for all of the additional parts, but I guess there is something to be said for peace of mind. The teeth in the auger were showing some wear. AppliancePartsPros.com had the best price and shipping was fast.

Ordered the lower agitator, cam kit and replacement bolt...

I ordered the part and it took 4 hour to remove certain parts in order to reconnect, splice wires and screw the lid switch under the front cover of the washing machine. After all was said and done, it works like new.

I changed all the parts that I ordered from you and now my washer works great. I have a Kenmore 500. The Whirlpool parts are perfect.

I simply unbolted the 7/16 bolt that's under the fabric softener dispenser and pulled the agitator off the shaft. This time the agitator was so stripped it pulled right off the shaft. I've done this before and at times you really have to work to get the agitator off the shaft. Then I simply snapped off the top auger, lined it up in the slots on the new agitator, pressed the new agitator onto the splined shaft, installed the new bolt and tightened it. I suggest that after a couple of loads you recheck the tightness of the bolt, and then recheck it periodically thereafter. If it loosens too much and you don't catch it, you will strip out the agitator. I did notice that the new bolt supplied by Appliance Parts Pro had Loctite already on the bolt. Great quality parts!
