Not exactly....The Maytag LoadSensor is a different animal than what Whirlpool uses. The Maytag agitator uses a system that allows for the spiral to move more with larger loads and less or none with lighter loads. With big loads the spiral will move faster to drive the load into the base area. With lighter loads it will move with the base and ratchet only when it needs to.

Different? How is the function of the load sensor any different from a Sears Dual Action? Does the Maytag have a drive system for the corkscrew that uses something other than dogs? | ||

Thanks, Andy I have had both the LAT series and a Norgetag and I was relieved they aren't as annoying as the clack, clack of the Whirlpool transmission and agitator. I am glad I learned something. | ||

MT LAOD SENSOR AGITATOR Yes the MT LS has a little friction in it so if it doesn't contact any clothing the top spiral section just moves back and forth with the bottom section. Bottom line it doesn't make any difference both the WP style and the MT style work very well, dual action agitators are the best thing that ever happened to top loading washers. | ||
