Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo Agitator Parts

The Washer Agitator Dog set is a set of 4 OEM replacement parts for Whirlpool and Kenmore washing machines, designed to engage the agitator, allowing it to move in one direction and lock in the opposite direction. The agitator dogs also come available in the agitator repair kit WP8537433. Check your model number for compatibility.

Symptoms of failing Agitator Dogs include:

• The agitator not moving
• Only moving in one direction
• Clothes not getting cleaned due to lack of agitation
• Clothes becoming tangled

Causes of bad Agitator Dogs can range from normal wear and tear, which gradually erodes their teeth, making them too smooth to engage the agitator properly, to overloading the washing machine, which puts extra stress on the agitator and accelerates the wear of the dogs.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
