This planetary gear assembly drives the washer's agitator/spin mechanism to transfer motor motion into drum movement, restoring smooth agitation and spin action. Designed to fit as the washer's internal gearing component for reliable operation. What it does:

• Converts motor rotation into the agitator/drum motion for effective washing and spinning
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause noisy operation or grinding sounds
• Helps correct slow, intermittent, or no-agitation and no-spin symptoms when gearbox failure is present
• Works as the internal gearset that mates with the transmission/agitator components

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair
• Requires partial disassembly of the washer cabinet and access to the transmission/agitator area
• Inspect related parts (agitator, drive coupling, transmission) for wear and replace as needed

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the appliance's drive mechanism, restoring smooth rotation and normal operation. It replaces a worn or damaged planetary component to reduce noise and restore consistent drive performance. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque through the gear train to the driven component for proper operation
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause grinding, clunking, or loss of drive
• Helps stop intermittent or failed agitation/spin caused by stripped or broken gear teeth
• Restores correct gear engagement to reduce excessive noise during operation

• One planetary gear assembly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Some disassembly of the gearcase or transmission may be required; follow the OEM service manual
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and fasteners; replace any damaged components
• Use proper tools and torque values
