WP63840 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Upper Agitator
WP63840 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Upper Agitator
This WP63840 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Upper Agitator is an original manufacturer replacement designed to restore proper agitation action in compatible Whirlpool top‑loading washing machines. Supplied by Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian appliance parts retailer, this genuine Whirlpool component helps resolve common wash performance issues and ships across Canada to homeowners, landlords, and professional repair technicians.
Function & Importance
In top‑load washers with an agitator design, the upper agitator is the portion that transfers motion from the washer’s drivetrain into the laundry load. It works in conjunction with the lower agitator to:
-
Move clothes through water and detergent for effective cleaning
-
Promote rotation and tumbling during wash cycles
-
Funnel water and clothes between upper and lower sections correctly
This OEM agitator is engineered to Whirlpool’s exact specifications for fit and performance. An incorrect or poorly fitting agitator can lead to inefficient agitation, excessive wear, and imbalance, potentially reducing appliance lifespan and cleaning effectiveness.
Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement
You may need to replace the upper agitator if your washer shows these washer‑specific indicators:
-
Clothes are not moving or cleaning effectively in the wash cycle
-
The washer makes unusual noises from the agitator area
-
The agitator is loose, cracked, or physically damaged
-
The washer shakes or vibrates excessively during use
-
The agitator fails to engage properly when running a cycle
Replacing the OEM agitator with this Whirlpool part typically restores correct agitation motion and improves wash performance.
Compatibility Guidance
-
Designed for top‑load Whirlpool washing machines that use a removable upper agitator
