Whirlpool WP9708191 Mixer Agitator Drive Shaft Assembly
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP9708191 is a mixer agitator drive shaft assembly, a critical component found in Whirlpool stand mixers. The core of the mixing action is this assembly. The agitator, a star-shaped device at the bottom of the mixing bowl, is connected to the motor by a metal shaft. The agitator spins when the mixer is turned on because the motor turns the driving shaft. In order to achieve even mixing, this spinning motion forms a vortex inside the bowl, which efficiently splashes and folds items together. The agitator would not spin in the absence of a working driving shaft, which might lead to uneven mixing or a mixer that is completely unusable.
