Part WP6-0A57420
Purpose
Washer agitator shaft seal—to prevent water leakage around the agitator spindle
Details
This genuine OEM seal fits tightly around the shaft beneath the agitator and forms a water-tight barrier between the inner tub and the rotating spindle. Made of durable rubber/plastic, it protects the transmission and motor area from moisture. Over time, wear or hardening can cause leaks—replacing the seal restores a secure seal and helps prevent internal damage.
