Whirlpool no longer supplies 285811, so this is the way to get the same cam for a top loader that uses it. The cam sits inside a two-piece agitator and drives the upper section in one direction. It's not the long cam, so machines that need the long version take 285748 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTop half of the agitator not turning?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo-piece agitators have a lower section that swings back and forth and an upper auger section that should ratchet round in one direction, pulling clothes down into the wash. The cam and its dogs create that ratchet action. When the dogs wear or the cam cracks, the top section spins freely both ways or doesn't move at all. Clothes stop turning over, loads float on top, and washing results drop off. You may also hear clicking or grinding from inside the agitator during the wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part 4055916284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame part as Whirlpool 285811\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgitator cam for two-piece agitators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong cam version is a different part, 285748\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the agitator cam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the washer before you start. Pull off the agitator cap, undo the bolt or retainer and lift the upper section away to reach the cam. Clean out soap scum and any broken dog fragments so nothing jams the new parts. If the dogs are worn too, replace them at the same time, then reassemble and turn the top by hand to check it ratchets one way only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the short or long agitator cam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the cam that replaces Whirlpool 285811, not the long version.
