It features a durable, high-impact polymer construction, splined mounting hub, and integrated fins for optimal agitation. Typical lifespan is 8–15 years; failures are most often due to stripped splines, cracked fins, or worn agitator dogs. Symptoms: clothes not cleaning properly, agitator not moving, unusual noises, or loose agitator. IMPORTANT: Only use OEM agitators for correct fit and performance. CRITICAL: Always disconnect power before servicing.
