The 29162 uses a Triple Action agitator, a central post that twists and flexes to move laundry through the wash water, rather than the impeller plate found on Kenmore’s other current top-load tier. Agitator-equipped washers are diagnosed with a genuinely different wash-mechanism check than an impeller model, even though many of the surrounding fill, drain, and spin components are shared.
