Also known as the agitator drive bell or drive block, this small but essential part connects the transmission drive shaft to the agitator base, transmitting the back-and-forth rotational motion that lets the agitator move clothes through the wash cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of pale yellow plastic with a matte finish, this coupler measures approximately 3-7\/16\"L x 3-7\/16\"W x 3-1\/8\"H, and includes 1 agitator drive bell plus 1 hold-down bolt. Common causes of failure include normal wear and tear over time, or overuse with heavy or unbalanced loads that place extra strain on the coupler's plastic teeth. Symptoms of a bad coupler include the agitator not moving at all, moving too slowly or weakly, loud banging or grinding noises during operation, or oil stains appearing on clothes.

Wear work gloves. Remove the fabric softener dispenser or cap from the top of the agitator if your model has one. Using a 7\/16\" socket, remove the hold-down bolt securing the agitator to the transmission drive shaft. Pull the agitator straight up and off the hub — this typically comes off easily by hand once the bolt is removed. Locate the old coupler (drive bell) on the drive shaft and remove it, noting its orientation. Install the new WH49X10042 coupler onto the drive shaft in the same orientation. Place the agitator back down onto the hub, aligning it correctly, and reinstall the hold-down bolt, tightening it securely with the 7\/16\" socket. Reattach the fabric softener dispenser or cap. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the agitator moves properly through its full back-and-forth range with no unusual noise.
