Available for fast shipping across Canada, this genuine OEM part is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and professional appliance repair technicians looking to resolve agitation failures with confidence.

Function & Importance of the Agitator Assembly

The agitator assembly is a central component in many top‑load washing machines. It connects to the washer’s transmission and drive system to move clothes back and forth during the wash cycle, creating the water turbulence and mechanical action needed for effective cleaning.

Using a genuine OEM agitator like the WP22004042 is essential because Whirlpool engineers specific shape, spline engagement, and material characteristics to match factory tolerances. This ensures consistent agitation performance, proper load handling, and long‑term durability, unlike generic or poorly fitting alternatives.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

Consider replacing the agitator assembly if your washer is showing one or more of these washer‑specific issues:

• Agitator fails to move clothes effectively during wash cycles

• Clothes come out poorly cleaned or tangled

• Unusual noises from the agitator area during operation

• Motion feels loose, slipping, or is inconsistent

• Washer still fills and drains, but no agitation occurs

Installing this genuine OEM agitator assembly typically resolves agitation‑related performance problems when the original agitator is worn, damaged, or no longer engaging properly.

Compatibility Guidance

• Compatible with top‑load Whirlpool‑built washing machines that originally used the agitator assembly

• Works with Whirlpool and many Whirlpool‑manufactured brands (e.g., Maytag, Amana, Jenn‑Air, Magic Chef, Kenmore, Crosley) as indicated by parts cross‑reference listings
