Function & Importance
In a Whirlpool top‑load washer, the agitator base sits at the bottom of the agitator and interfaces with the transmission to drive the back‑and‑forth motion that moves clothes through water and detergent. Proper agitation is essential for effective cleaning, even detergent distribution, and preventing clothes from tangling.
The OEM‑engineered WP3349098 ensures:
-
Accurate engagement with the washer’s drive shaft
-
Correct rotational movement during wash cycles
-
Balanced and reliable wash action matched to Whirlpool specifications
Using the correct OEM agitator base helps maintain performance, prevents premature wear on drivetrain components, and supports longevity and safety in everyday laundry operation.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
If your washer shows any of the following washer‑specific problems, it could be a sign the agitator base needs replacement:
-
Washer fills and drains normally but clothes do not agitate or turn properly
-
Agitator appears loose or spins independently from the drive shaft
-
Clothes remain clumped or unevenly washed after cycles
-
Unusual noises from the agitator area during the wash
-
Visible wear, cracks, or stripped splines on the existing agitator base
Replacing a worn or damaged agitator base with the correct OEM part typically restores proper agitation action and improves cleaning performance.
