W11550891 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Assembly
W11550891 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Assembly
The W11550891 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Assembly is an original manufacturer replacement agitator designed for select top-load Whirlpool washers and compatible brands. As the central component of your washer’s agitation system, this authentic Whirlpool part restores the mechanical action that moves clothes through water and detergent during the wash cycle. Supplied by Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canada-based appliance parts retailer, this OEM agitator ships across Canada and is a common solution for restoring effective wash performance.
What This Part Does
The agitator assembly is mounted in the centre of the washer tub and is responsible for the mechanical back-and-forth movement that circulates laundry during the washing process. It consists of:
-
A central post connected to the washer’s drive shaft
-
Fins or vanes that move clothes through water and detergent
-
Integrated clutch/dog mechanisms for multi-directional agitation
Without a fully functioning agitator, your washer cannot effectively circulate laundry, which leads to poor cleaning performance. Using a Genuine OEM agitator ensures the correct materials, fit, and mechanical action engineered by Whirlpool for long-term reliability.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
You may need a new W11550891 agitator assembly if your washer exhibits any of the following washer-specific issues:
-
Clothes not getting clean after a complete cycle
-
Agitator does not rotate or binds during wash
-
Loud or unusual noises from the agitator area
-
Washer vibrates excessively during agitation
-
Broken or missing agitator fins
Replacing a worn or damaged agitator with this genuine OEM assembly typically restores proper agitation action and improves overall wash effectiveness.
