WP3349019 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Upper Agitator
Authoritative Introduction
The WP3349019 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Upper Agitator is an original Whirlpool factory replacement agitator component engineered for use in select Whirlpool‑brand top‑load washing machines and compatible brands. As a Genuine OEM part, this agitator is manufactured to match Whirlpool’s exact specifications for fit, performance, and durability. Appliance Kingdom ships this part across Canada, offering fast fulfillment to homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair technicians. This component is frequently replaced to restore proper laundry agitation and cleaning performance when the original agitator becomes worn or damaged.
Function & Importance
Within a top‑load washer, the upper agitator is the vertical, spiral‑ribbed column located in the centre of the wash tub. Its key functions are to:
-
Grasp and move clothes through water to loosen dirt and stains
-
Work in sync with the lower agitator or wash plate to create effective tumbling action
-
Ensure laundry is thoroughly cleaned during wash cycles
A properly functioning agitator is essential for efficient cleaning results. A worn or broken upper agitator can compromise laundry performance and leave clothes poorly cleaned. Because this is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool part, it’s built to exact factory dimensions and material specifications, ensuring reliable, long‑lasting operation and safeguarding your washer’s mechanical integrity.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
Replace the WP3349019 upper agitator if you notice:
-
Washer fails to agitate properly — clothes don’t move forcefully through the wash bath
-
Agitator spins freely without engaging water
-
Clothes remain visibly dirty after a complete wash cycle
-
Excessive noise or unusual shaking from the agitator area
-
Cracks or missing fins on the agitator body
Installing this OEM agitator typically restores correct agitation and improves wash performance when the original agitator column is worn or damaged.
