WPW10074580 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Cap

The WPW10074580 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Agitator Cap is an authentic Whirlpool replacement part engineered to protect your washer’s agitator assembly from moisture, debris, and fabric softener intrusion. This genuine OEM component helps maintain proper wash performance and extends the life of the agitator mechanism.

Function & Importance of the Agitator Cap

In a top‑loading washer, the agitator cap sits atop the agitator column to:

• Seal the interior of the agitator, keeping water, fabric softener, lint, and debris out of internal components.

• Preserve correct fabric softener flow by ensuring it dispenses properly through the agitator.

• Prevent premature wear on internal parts that can occur when contaminants enter the agitator assembly.

Using a Genuine OEM Whirlpool cap is important because it is molded to precise specifications, ensuring a secure fit that reduces the risk of leaks and wear that could affect your washer’s long‑term reliability.

Common Symptoms Indicating You Need to Replace This Part

You should consider replacing the WPW10074580 agitator cap when your washer exhibits washer‑specific issues such as:

• Water leaking around the agitator area during wash cycles.

• Fabric softener not dispensing correctly into the wash load.

• Unusual noises coming from the agitator during operation.

• Poor wash results or increased wear on fabrics due to water and debris entering the agitator mechanism.

Replacing this cap often resolves these symptoms when they are caused by a worn, cracked, or missing agitator cap.
