Whirlpool WTW5057LW0 (US) repairability

By Fixability Index · Updated 30 September 2026

The removable agitator lifts out for impeller-mode washing. The impeller and the drive mechanism remain separate service parts.

What to check before buying

Replacement parts
Lid lock, drain pump, inlet assembly, suspension set and drive belt are listed.
Repair documentation
Exact-revision parts diagrams and a quick-start guide covering agitator removal.
Agitator
The removable centre must lock into place when reinstalled; removing it leaves the impeller in the tub.

Agitator and tub

The catalogue lists the agitator, impeller and impeller cap separately. The quick-start guide documents owner removal and refitting of the centre agitator for switching wash modes.

Drive and water parts

The parts diagrams identify a separate shift actuator, gearcase, motor and belt. Water-related assemblies include the drain pump and inlet assembly; the tub suspension is listed as a set of four dampers with its bushings and balls.
