LP338 - Universal Supco Washer Agitator Directional Dog Ear Cogs, 4/Pack

LP338 - Universal Supco Washer Agitator Directional Dog Ear Cogs, 4/Pack

The Supco LP338 Washer Agitator Directional Dog Ear Cogs (4-Pack) are essential replacement components for many top-load washing machines that use a ratcheting agitator drive system. These small but critical plastic “dogs” allow the agitator to rotate the laundry tub in one direction while free-spinning in the opposite direction, enabling proper agitation during wash cycles. This part is a reliable, high-quality aftermarket replacement suitable for homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians throughout Canada.

Function & Importance

The agitator directional dogs inside a washer’s agitator assembly are tiny plastic cams that:

• Engage the agitator to turn the wash basket in the correct direction

• Provide a one-way drive connection so clothes move properly during the wash cycle

• Ensure effective agitation for cleaning performance

When these dogs wear down, the agitator can spin freely without driving the wash basket, leading to poor agitation and unsatisfactory cleaning. Using the proper OEM-equivalent, quality replacement cogs helps restore correct mechanical action and prolongs the life of the wash mechanism.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement

You should consider replacing the LP338 agitator dogs if your washer is exhibiting any of the following washer-specific symptoms:

• Washer does not agitate laundry effectively

• Agitator spins freely in both directions

• Clothes remain clumped or unclean after a cycle

• Unusual noises from the agitator area during operation

• Washer moves or shakes excessively during agitation

If worn dogs are the cause, replacing them with this set will typically restore proper agitation mechanics and improve wash performance.

Compatibility Guidance

• Suitable for washer agitators with directional dog mechanisms

• Often used as a service replacement for Whirlpool-style direct drive washers that use agitator dogs

• Prior to ordering, customers should confirm their washer’s model number and agitator dog configuration
