285811 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Repair Kit

285811 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Repair Kit

The Whirlpool 285811 Genuine OEM Agitator Repair Kit is a factory-engineered replacement part designed to restore proper agitator motion and wash performance in compatible top-load Whirlpool-style washing machines. This OEM repair kit addresses common wear issues within the washer’s agitator drive system by replacing worn cams, dogs (directional cogs), and related components. It’s suitable for homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance technicians seeking an accurate, reliable fix with confidence and Canada-wide delivery.

Function & Importance of the Agitator Repair Kit

The agitator in a top-load washer plays a key role in moving laundry through the wash water for effective cleaning. Over time, the small internal parts — including the medium cam, facilitator dogs, cap seal, thrust washer, and washer — can wear out from repeated use.

The 285811 Whirlpool Agitator Repair Kit restores proper mechanical coupling between the washer’s agitator components so that:

• The agitator engages correctly with the transmission during wash cycles

• Clothes are moved back and forth with sufficient agitation

• The washer maintains its designed cleaning action

Using a genuine OEM kit ensures the parts meet Whirlpool’s original specifications for fit, durability, and performance — critical for wash quality and long-term drivetrain health.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

You may need this agitator repair kit if your washer exhibits one or more of the following washer-specific symptoms:

• The agitator doesn’t engage or move properly but the motor and basket still run

• Clothes aren’t moving through the wash water as expected

• Loud grinding, clicking, or chattering noises from the agitator area

• Poor cleaning performance with clothes left soiled after a cycle

• Irregular laundry movement despite normal wash controls

Replacing worn agitator components with this OEM kit often restores proper agitation mechanics and cleaning action when wear is the root cause.
