GE Washer Agitator & Bolt (WH49X27324)

The GE Washer Agitator & Bolt is the central washing component that moves clothes through the water during a wash cycle, using a rotating motion to loosen dirt and work detergent through fabrics. It mounts directly to the drive shaft and is secured by the included bolt, keeping the agitator firmly in place during operation.

The GE Washer Agitator & Bolt can wear out over time from constant mechanical stress, repeated loading, or if the bolt loosens and allows the agitator to shift on the drive shaft. Cracks in the agitator body, stripped bolt threads, or a broken connection to the drive shaft can all cause the agitator to stop working properly or come loose during the wash cycle.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if your agitator or bolt needs to be replaced:

- Agitator does not move or rotates weakly during the wash cycle

- Clothes come out still dirty or unevenly cleaned

- Agitator wobbles, feels loose, or shifts side to side during operation

- Loud clunking or banging noise during the wash cycle

- Agitator spins freely in both directions with no resistance

- Visible cracks, breaks, or damage on the agitator body

- Bolt is stripped, missing, or will not hold the agitator securely in place
