Whirlpool Top Load Washer Agitator (WP63235)

The Whirlpool Top Load Washer Agitator is the central post-like component that sits inside the wash tub and moves clothes through the water during a wash cycle. It rotates back and forth to create the scrubbing action that loosens dirt and detergent from fabrics, making it one of the most essential parts of a top load washer.

The Whirlpool Top Load Washer Agitator can crack, break, or wear out from repeated use, overloading the tub, or washing heavy items like rugs and blankets that put extra stress on the assembly. The plastic fins or dogs inside the agitator can strip over time, causing it to spin freely without actually moving clothes through the water.

These symptoms can help you decide if an agitator issue matches your problem:

- Clothes come out still dirty or poorly washed after a full cycle

- Agitator spins in one direction only instead of back and forth

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

- Visible cracks, chips, or broken fins on the agitator body

- Clothes get tangled or twisted excessively during the wash cycle

- Agitator makes clicking or ratcheting sounds but does not move properly

- Washer runs and fills normally but clothes are not being agitated
