This gearcase housing is the molded enclosure that supports and protects the motor drive gears, keeping them aligned for reliable rotation. It restores proper gear engagement and prevents debris from entering the drive area. What it does:

• Houses and positions the motor drive gears so the drive system turns smoothly
• Protects internal gears from lint, dust, and moisture that can cause wear or jamming
• Helps maintain correct gear alignment to reduce noise, grinding, or slipping during operation
• Supports the motor/gear assembly for consistent power transfer to the drivetrain

• Install with original fasteners and proper torque to maintain alignment
• Inspect gears, seals, and nearby components; replace any worn parts while housing is accessible
• Disconnect power and follow manufacturer safety procedures before attempting service

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 gearcase is the washer transmission assembly that transfers motor power to the agitator and tub, restoring proper agitation and wash action. It replaces worn internal gears to help your washer clean clothes effectively. What it does:

• Converts motor rotation into the oscillating motion needed for agitation and to drive the wash basket
• Replaces stripped, noisy, or slipping gears that cause weak or no agitation
• Stops grinding, knocking, or irregular movement coming from the transmission area
• Restores proper agitation speed and torque for normal wash cycles

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Drain remaining water and remove the washer cabinet or access panel per the service manual
• Follow OEM disassembly steps for the transmission/gearcase; some models require removing the tub or drive components
• If internal seals, bearings, or the motor coupling are damaged, replace them per OEM recommendations

This direct-drive gearcase converts the washer motor's power into the agitation and spin motions. Replacing a worn gearcase restores normal drive function so the washer can agitate and spin as intended. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation to the agitator and spin basket for wash and spin cycles
• Worn or damaged gear teeth can cause no agitation or no spin
• Damaged gearcase may produce loud grinding, clunking, or unusual noises during operation
• Failure can cause intermittent drive or loss of drive in one or both cycles

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair to prevent shock or flooding
• Drain the washer and secure the tub/agitator before removing components
• May require removing the cabinet or access panels and supporting the drum during service

This grille control surface assembly provides the finished front trim for the appliance control area and restores a clean, secure fit and appearance. It replaces a cracked, damaged or loose control-area grille to improve panel alignment and aesthetics. What it does

• Covers and protects the appliance control area while providing the finished exterior appearance
• Restores proper fit and alignment when the original grille is cracked, bent, or broken
• Helps keep moisture and debris away from underlying controls and wiring
• Matches Onyx black finish for a consistent look with the rest of the appliance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools (screwdriver, possibly trim tool) are typically required for removal and reattachment
• Align tabs and screw holes carefully to avoid cracking the trim during installation
• Replace damaged internal fasteners or mounting clips to ensure a secure fit

This pedestal feet assembly provides the lower support and leveling for a laundry pedestal, helping keep the pedestal stable and aligned beneath the washer or dryer. Designed to restore proper support and reduce rocking. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or worn pedestal feet that cause rocking, uneven height, or instability
• Provides adjustable support to help level the pedestal on uneven floors
• Protects floors by maintaining proper pedestal alignment and preventing scraping
• Restores safe, secure support for appliances installed on the pedestal

• Follow the appliance and pedestal manufacturer instructions; have a second person or proper support to prevent tip-over when removing or installing the pedestal
• Ensure the appliance is powered off and disconnected from utilities if appliance removal or repositioning is required
• Use basic hand tools; confirm all fasteners are tightened securely after installation

This pedestle is the replacement agitator post that supports and centers the washer agitator, restoring proper agitation and load stability for top-load washers. It's a direct-fit part used during agitator assembly repairs. What it does:

• Centers and secures the agitator on the transmission shaft for effective wash action
• Helps transmit agitation motion from the transmission to the agitator
• Commonly replaced when the agitator wobbles, slips, or does not rotate properly
• Restores stable operation without requiring a full agitator or transmission replacement

• One pedestle (agitator post) as shown

• Disconnect power to the washer before beginning any repair
• Remove agitator per manufacturer instructions to access and replace the pedestle
• Use appropriate hand tools; keep fasteners organized for reassembly
