Located underneath the outer tub, the plastic gears inside the gearcase engage at different speeds to drive the various stages of cleaning and extracting water from the laundry load.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, normal wear and tear can lead to cracked, stripped, or broken gears. Symptoms of a failing gearcase include the washer not agitating properly, not spinning, stopping mid-cycle, or making loud grinding noises during operation.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/QjkBXklAVhs\"><b>Watch the full repair here!<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model.

Here are a few practical tips to help you stay safe:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn off the power to the appliance by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker before starting any maintenance or repairs. This protects you from the risk of electric shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated gloves to shield your hands from sharp edges, pinching hazards, or debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work at a steady pace and take your time to avoid accidents or injuries.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your workspace is well-lit so you can clearly see and access the parts you\u2019re working on.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the area clear of clutter, and ensure children and pets stay out of the workspace.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never handle internal parts with wet hands. Check that both your hands and the work area are completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refer to your appliance\u2019s user manual for any specific instructions or safety guidelines related to the part or repair.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handle parts gently to avoid damage to the appliance or potential injuries from applying too much force.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use safety glasses when dealing with chemicals, dust, or large debris to protect your eyes from harm.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the appliance was recently used, give it enough time to cool down before working on any heated components.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take photos or notes of wiring connections and terminals before disconnecting anything to make reassembly easier.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid touching exposed wires or terminals. If you must handle wires, use non-conductive tools or wear insulated gloves to minimize the risk of electrical shock.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step-by-step repair process<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessing the gear case<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening the washer lid: Begin by lifting the washer lid to access the interior components of the machine.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing the fabric softener dispenser and agitator: With a flat blade screwdriver, pry off the fabric softener dispenser located at the top of the agitator. To remove the agitator, unscrew the bolt at its base using a 7\/16-inch socket with an extension. If the agitator proves stubborn, employ a pair of hooks to lift it out. These hooks can be fashioned from wire or a thin rod, bent to fit into the agitator's holes for easy removal.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detaching the hub retainer, water inlet hoses, and drain hose: Utilize a flat-blade screwdriver to pry out the hub retainer. Then, with a quarter-inch nut driver, remove the screws securing the water inlet hoses and the drain hose, preparing the washer for further disassembly.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removing the inner basket<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the top components are removed, the focus shifts to the inner basket. This might require additional effort:<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifting off the top ring: Locate the clips holding the top ring in place and use a flat-blade screwdriver to pop them open. Remove the top ring to reveal the inner basket.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extracting the inner basket: Sometimes, the basket can be removed with minimal effort; other times, it may resist. In such cases, place a piece of wood at the junction where metal meets plastic to protect the tub, and use a car jack (with a piece of wood on its head) to gently lift the basket off the shaft.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing the gear case<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing the new gear case: Before installing the new gear case, apply a small amount of liquid soap to its seal.

Reinstall the top ring, ensuring it snaps into place over the tub, securing the basket.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reconnecting hoses and wires: Reattach the water inlet hoses and the drain hose. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and correctly positioned.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calibration and testing<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the washer has been reassembled, it's imperative to calibrate it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This process ensures the washer operates correctly with the new gear case.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perform a test run with no laundry to ensure everything functions as expected.
