Whirlpool WPW10429138 Washer Agitator Replaces W10429138

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10429138 is an OEM agitator designed for use in top-load washing machines. The agitator is the central post assembly inside the wash tub that moves laundry through the water during the wash cycle using a back-and-forth rotation motion. This part has been superseded by Whirlpool, and the current shipping replacement is part number W10429138, also manufactured by Whirlpool. Installation is performed by appliance technicians or experienced service professionals familiar with top-load washer mechanical assemblies.

This agitator fits top-load residential washing machines where the original WPW10429138 or its successor W10429138 is specified. It is used in standard wash tub configurations that rely on a direct-drive or belt-driven agitator post. If a machine is producing weak agitation, stripping during the wash cycle, or no agitation movement at all, the agitator assembly is a common service replacement. Always verify the full model number of the washer against the current Whirlpool parts lookup before ordering to confirm fitment.

Verify the appliance model number against current Whirlpool parts documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Agitator replacement on top-load washers is typically performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect the washer from electrical power before beginning any disassembly. The agitator post is generally secured by a bolt or cap at the top of the assembly and may require a socket set and agitator removal tool for extraction without damaging the tub or drive components. Do not force the agitator off the splined shaft, as this can damage the transmission or drive block.
