This gearcase is the washer transmission that transfers the motor's power to the agitator and tub so your washer can agitate and drain properly. Replaces a worn or damaged transmission to restore normal wash motion. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque to the agitator and inner tub to produce wash and spin actions
• Houses gears and shafts that control direction and agitation patterns
• Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate, makes grinding or rumbling noises, or the agitator spins freely
• Works with the washer's clutch and motor coupling to enable load movement

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• Installation requires disassembly of the washer cabinet and removal of the agitator, drive coupling, and motor
• Inspect related parts (agitator, drive coupling, seals) and replace if damaged

This gearcase is the main transmission assembly that transfers motor torque to the washer's tub and agitator, restoring normal agitation and spin performance when the original gearcase fails. What it does

• Converts motor rotation into the gear reductions needed for agitation and spin cycles.
• Commonly replaced for symptoms like no agitation, slow or failed spin, grinding or clunking noises during cycles.
• Contains internal gears and bearings that can wear or break, causing irregular movement or loss of drive.
• Works with the washer's motor coupling and drive components to re-establish reliable drum motion.

• One gearcase (transmission) assembly.

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair.
• Support the washer cabinet and tub when removing the old gearcase to avoid damage or injury.
• Gearcase assemblies are heavy and contain grease—expect some lubricant exposure; clean hands and work surfaces after installation.
• Use model-specific service manual or exploded parts diagram for proper alignment and reassembly; replacement may require transfer of seals or mounting hardware.

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor torque through the drive system to enable the washer's agitation and/or spin functions. Replacing a worn planetary restores reliable rotation and reduces noise caused by damaged gears. What it does:

• Drives the washer's agitator/drum by transferring motor power through the gear train
• Restores normal agitation and spinning when worn gears cause slipping or no movement
• Stops or reduces grinding, knocking, or unusual gear noise originating from the gearbox
• Works as the internal gearset inside the transmission/gearcase to maintain proper drivetrain operation

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the washer cabinet or transmission cover; follow OEM service instructions
• Support the drum/transmission and use appropriate tools to avoid further damage

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the appliance's rotating components, restoring reliable rotation and reducing abnormal noise. It's the direct replacement gear used in the appliance's drivetrain to help resume normal operation. What it does:

• Transfers motor torque to the agitator/drum or rotating hub for proper rotation
• Restores smooth, consistent movement and can stop slipping or reduced rotation
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that cause grinding, clunking, or unusual noise
• Helps prevent further wear to connected drive components when replaced promptly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.

Symptoms of a bad planetary include:

• Beater not rotating properly
• Unusual noises during operation
• The mixer head wobbling or shaking
• Inconsistent mixing results

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
