Whirlpool 285810 Washer Cam Agitator

The Whirlpool 285810 Washer Cam Agitator is a critical component that controls the movement of the agitator in your Whirlpool washing machine. This cam is a gear-shaped device that connects the drive shaft and agitator. The cam converts the rotation of the shaft into a certain movement pattern for the agitator. This design guarantees that your garments are thoroughly tumbled and circulated during the wash cycle, resulting in maximum cleaning efficacy. Uneven washing, excessive noise, or even an entirely non-functional agitator might be caused by a worn-out cam. Replacing a defective cam with the original Whirlpool 285810 part is a straightforward repair that can improve your washer's cleaning performance and prevent additional damage.
