Zasady działania

The UpStart Components 80040 Washer Agitator Dogs facilitate the one-way rotation of the washing machine's agitator. During the wash cycle, the transmission rotates the agitator shaft. The agitator dogs engage with the agitator's inner mechanism, allowing it to turn in one direction (e.g., clockwise) to create the washing action. When the shaft reverses direction (e.g., counter-clockwise), the dogs disengage or "slip," allowing the agitator to remain stationary or move minimally, effectively resetting for the next stroke. This ratcheting action is crucial for moving clothes through the water and detergent for effective cleaning.
