This is a transmission assembly for washing machines. The transmission assembly is the gearbox in the washing machine's motor that allows the washing machine to work at different speeds and different intensities. If the washing machine is no longer spinning properly and has lost its normal level of washing power, it could mean that the transmission assembly needs to be replaced. Luckily, replacing this part is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.To replace the transmission assembly, begin by unplugging the washing machine. The first step is to remove the upper control panel. Pull forward on the bottom of the console and remove the two retaining clips as well as the harness connector to the lid switch. Using a flathead screwdriver remove the clips. After this, remove the entire cabinet from the back panel to gain access to the interior of the washer. Remove the 7/16 bolt from the agitator and pull it straight up to remove it from the shaft. Once completed, gain access to the motor and pump and remove by releasing the screws and tabs that attach it. Remove the wire harness attached to the transmission. Remove the bolts that secure the motor mount to the transmission and proceed to pull the old transmission out of its place. Install the new transmission and reassemble the other parts.This genuine OEM replacement part is compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse washers. It is sold individually.
