Frigidaire Hub 134418700 OEM Part

Agitator Drive Block/Bell for Washer/Dryer

Frigidaire produces a variety of trusted components, including those under well-known brands such as Electrolux, and also supplies parts for Sears-Kenmore appliances. Amongst their components, the Agitator Hub stands out as an authentic original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, specifically crafted for Frigidaire's top-load washers. This integral plastic hub serves as the connection point for the agitator’s posts and fins located at the tub’s base. It plays a crucial role during washing cycles by rotating the agitator hub, thereby moving its post back and forth to facilitate the washing process.

Over time, an agitator hub may experience wear and tear, leading to issues such as cracks or structural fractures due to regular usage. Moreover, mineral buildup could occur, which may result in corrosion, further compromising the hub’s integrity.

Failure of the agitator hub can manifest in several ways:

1. Increased noise and vibration during operation.
2. Difficulty in achieving smooth spinning or movement during cycles.
3. Structural cracks that may lead to water leakage.

To restore optimal performance and ensure effective cleaning, replacing a defective agitator hub with this genuine OEM part from Frigidaire is advisable. This replacement is also suitable for certain Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore models.
