W11085570 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Shield

The W11085570 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Shield is an authentic Whirlpool replacement part engineered to protect internal washer components around the agitator area. Designed for direct fitment in compatible Whirlpool‑family washing machines, this genuine OEM shield helps maintain proper operation and prevent damage from friction, debris, and contact with moving parts. Appliance Kingdom ships this part across Canada, supporting homeowners, landlords, and professional technicians with fast, reliable service.

Function & Importance

In top‑load washers with an agitator, the agitator shield (also referred to as a tub ring or base shield) sits around the agitator and the top of the spin basket to:

• Protect internal components near the agitator from abrasion and foreign debris

• Reduce noise and friction by preventing direct contact between moving parts

• Maintain correct spacing and alignment around the agitator assembly

Without a properly functioning shield, exposed components can rub against the wash tub or each other, leading to increased wear, noise, or premature failure of adjacent parts. Using the correct genuine OEM shield ensures the protection performance Whirlpool originally designed for your washer.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

Consider replacing the agitator shield if your washer exhibits any of the following washer‑specific issues:

• Unusual rubbing or scraping noises during agitation cycles

• Visible cracks, breaks, or wear on the existing shield

• Agitator contacting nearby components, causing noise or rough operation

• Debris buildup around the agitator area due to compromise in protective cover

Replacing a worn or damaged shield often eliminates excess noise and protects internal components, restoring quieter, smoother washer function.
