well I Googled 'wiggler'......
lets just say, I COULD(and everyone here knows I would), but I know better if I want to stay a member here, not to post what description and picture popped up when I did....lets just say it would make 'Dirty Laundry' blush... not exactly a part for a washing machine, although could be an added accessory....who knows? but Wikipedia mentioned it could also be known as a 'wobbler'....could this be a Calypso machine? if safe to actually post, how about a picture of the part?, part number? one of those things, the world will never know! | ||

 It doesn't "wiggle" so much as, sashay.
It's the 'gearshift' that switches between agitate and neutral, at the same time switching the pump from recirc to drain. Then if the lid is closed, switches the tub brake off and the spin clutch on.
Belt Whirlpools without a working wigwag are pretty much useless. I'm a little skeptical of the diagnosis, if the guy didn't know the industry name for it. There are other things that can go wrong besides the wigwag itself, like wiring, timer. I'm still not clear how they got away with constantly flexing those wires without breaking them eventually. | ||
