• Circulates clothes to improve soil removal and reduce tangling
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or loose agitators that cause weak or no agitation
• Common symptoms include poor cleaning, clothes not moving during wash, or an agitator that wobbles or spins freely by hand

• 1 agitator assembly

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser and inner cap to access the center bolt
• Remove the bolt, lift off the old agitator, seat the new agitator on the splined shaft, and secure the bolt
• Reinstall the cap/dispenser; reuse original hardware as applicable and check for a secure fit before testing

• Designed for top-load agitator-style wash systems that use the PC-144 agitator design.

• 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.
