Description

This drive gear and shaft plate kit replaces worn or broken drive components so your appliance can agitate or rotate as intended. It restores proper engagement between the motor shaft and the wash/drum assembly for smoother operation. What it does:

• Replaces the drive gear that engages the drive shaft to transfer motor rotation
• Replaces the shaft plate that secures the gear and helps align the drive shaft
• Fixes symptoms like loud grinding, slipping, or failure to agitate/rotate when caused by worn gear parts
• Helps prevent further damage from continued use of a worn drive train

What's included: One drive gear and one shaft plate as a complete kit (exact items listed) Install notes:

• Service should be performed with the appliance unplugged and water disconnected where applicable
• Removal of the cabinet or access panel and drive assembly is typically required; follow OEM instructions
• Inspect surrounding components (drive coupler, bearings, seals) and replace if damaged
• Tighten fasteners to OEM torque specs and test operation before full reassembly
