Whirlpool 285558 Washing Machine Agitator

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 285558 is a replacement agitator designed for top-load washing machines. The agitator sits at the center of the wash tub and uses mechanical action to move laundry through the water and detergent during the wash cycle. This direct-replacement component restores proper wash action to machines that have experienced a worn, broken, or non-functioning agitator assembly. Installation is typically performed by appliance repair technicians or experienced service professionals familiar with Whirlpool-brand laundry equipment.

This agitator is intended for use in residential top-load washing machine applications. It fits within the standard tub configuration found in full-size Whirlpool top-load washer models. When the original agitator shows signs of stripped splines, cracked fins, or failure to oscillate properly, this part serves as a direct OEM-style replacement to restore normal washing performance. No specific compatible model numbers are listed in available product data, so verify fitment against your unit's model number before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of this agitator should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect power to the washing machine at the outlet or circuit breaker before beginning any service work. The agitator typically lifts or unbolts from the drive shaft at the center of the tub - consult the machine's service manual for the correct removal and installation procedure for your specific model. Do not force the agitator onto the drive shaft, as this can damage the splines on both the agitator and the shaft.
