The agitator is a 2 piece and the dogs were worn out so it wasn't working properly. It took me almost 10 minutes to repair once the parts were delivered..Machines are 13 years old but if this prolongs the life it's better than spending a couple grand on new ones..

That's for sure, We had to replace ours after 33 years about 4 years ago.

These are the first machines we had that went past the warranty . We had one washer that lasted 10 years and 2 months it had a 10 year warranty. The machine before that only lasted 6 years and the transmission on that one exploded and left oil all over the floor. We had thought of replacing these simply because of the age of them but for $40 I'll take my changes and ride along with these as far as we can as long as they do the job. Whirlpool brand

Whirlpool Rod, but likely the same principal , there is 4 little dogs that grab the gear teeth inside the agitator and spin it clockwise with each agitation movement
