Whirlpool Agitator Repair Kit 80040 OEM

The Agitator Dog set is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines, designed to engage the agitator, allowing it to move in one direction and lock in the opposite direction. These small parts are located inside the agitator assembly and are responsible for the gripping action that turns the agitator.

Symptoms of failing Agitator Dogs include:

• The agitator not moving
• Only moving in one direction
• Clothes not getting cleaned due to lack of agitation
• Clothes becoming tangled

Causes of bad Agitator Dogs can range from normal wear and tear, which gradually erodes their teeth, making them too smooth to engage the agitator properly, to overloading the washing machine, which puts extra stress on the agitator and accelerates the wear of the dogs.

The agitator dogs also come available in the agitator repair kit WP8537433. Check your model number for compatibility.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This part fixes the following symptoms

• Will not agitate
• Spins slowly
