Whirlpool Washer Dogs and Spacers

thingiverse

I needed the custom-made agitator dogs and spacers for my washing machine, which conveniently broke down on a Friday night when parts couldn't be obtained until Monday. I pulled out the specifications and created them myself. The homemade parts have been running smoothly for a week without any issues. Since they were printed in PLA, I didn't expect them to last long, but they've temporarily fixed the problem. There are two sizes of agitator dogs available: the original size and a slightly larger alternative that seemed to work better. The different-sized spacers fit neatly under the agitator's original spacer, which was loose and annoying. In the end, I used the 2.5-sized spacer. Hopefully, this DIY solution will help others in similar binds and encourage them to print their parts with a stronger material than PLA if possible.
