Whirlpool W11561052 Washer Agitator Coupling

The Whirlpool W11561052 Washer Agitator Coupling is used to connect the agitator assembly to the transmission output shaft. It enables transfer of rotational force during wash agitation while maintaining controlled interaction with the drive system. The coupling uses a molded, splined design that locks onto the agitator shaft and mating drive hub to ensure synchronized movement. It is installed inside the agitator column at the base connection point, where it stabilizes alignment and transmits torque. It is to maintain agitation efficiency and protect internal drive components from normal loads.
