80040 Washer Agitator Dogs by WHok 8‑Pack for Whirlpool/Kenmore

Description

Product Overview

The 80040 Washer Agitator Dogs kit from WHok is engineered to replace the worn or broken agitator dogs that cause a top‑load washer to lose its agitation power, generate excessive noise, or fail to spin properly. Each kit contains eight precision‑molded plastic dogs that match the original equipment manufacturer specifications for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Crosley and many other compatible models. The high‑impact polymer material is formulated to resist wear, corrosion, and cracking even after repeated cycles of hot water, detergent, and mechanical stress.

Dimensions of each dog are designed to fit the standard agitator shaft bore, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional adapters or modifications. The package dimensions of 4.84 × 3.03 × 0.47 inches and a lightweight 0.317 ounce total weight make storage and handling effortless. A two‑year warranty backs the durability of the components, giving homeowners confidence that the replacement will perform reliably for years to come.

Installation requires only basic hand tools—a flat‑head screwdriver and a 7/16‑inch socket with an extension—making the repair accessible to DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike. The kit is packaged in a compact, recyclable box that includes clear printed instructions, reducing the chance of errors and speeding up the replacement process.

Usage

This replacement kit is ideal for anyone experiencing a loss of agitation, a noisy wash cycle, or a washer that spins too slowly. It is particularly useful in households with frequent laundry loads, where the agitator dogs are subjected to constant mechanical stress. By swapping out the old dogs for the new WHok components, the washer regains its original performance, delivering consistent cleaning results and balanced spin cycles that prevent excess vibration.

The kit is also suitable for rental property managers and appliance service professionals who need a reliable, OEM‑compatible part that can be installed quickly on a variety of Whirlpool and Kenmore models. Because the dogs are made from a durable plastic blend, they perform well in both hot‑water and cold‑water cycles, making them versatile for seasonal laundry needs.

FAQ

How do I know if my agitator dogs need to be replaced?

If the washer no longer agitates properly, makes a loud grinding noise during the wash cycle, or spins at a reduced speed, the agitator dogs are likely worn out. You can also visually inspect the dogs by removing the agitator; worn dogs will appear cracked, deformed, or missing teeth.

Are these agitator dogs compatible with all Whirlpool and Kenmore models?

The 80040 kit is designed to fit a broad range of Whirlpool and Kenmore top‑load washers, including models LSQ8243HQ0, LSQ8543JQ0, LSR7233EQ0, LSR8233EQ0, LXR9245EQ1, LSR8233EQ1, LSR5233AW0, LSQ9544KQ0, and many others listed in the product documentation. Always verify the part numbers listed in your washer’s service manual against the replacement list provided.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a flat‑head screwdriver to remove the agitator and a 7/16‑inch socket with a long extension to detach the old dogs. No specialized equipment or professional assistance is required, making it a straightforward DIY repair.

Can I replace only one dog, or must I replace the entire set?

While it is technically possible to replace a single dog, we recommend replacing all four dogs at once to ensure balanced performance and to avoid future failures. The kit includes eight dogs, providing enough for two complete replacements.

What is covered under the two‑year warranty?

The warranty covers any manufacturing defects in the plastic material or molding process. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as chemical exposure beyond normal detergent use. If a defect is discovered, contact WHok customer service with your purchase information for a replacement.
