This replacement part is intended to replace a broken or defective gear case in washing machines.The gear case rotates the washing machine's basket by driving the agitator. The user may notice the basket does not spin efficiently, if at all, and this the gear case may need to be replaced. Before any repairs are made, the washing machine should be entirely disconnected from the power and water sources. It's recommended that work gloves are worn to ensure proper protection. This is a genuine OEM part made by Whirlpool and has been sourced directly from the manufacturer. As an authentic replacement part, this gear case is suitable for installation in multiple different models of washing machines that have been manufactured by Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Maytag, and various other brands. This is a genuine part made of high-quality, durable materials and is sold individually.

This gearcase is the washer transmission that transfers motor torque to the agitator and wash basket, restoring agitation and spin function in compatible top-load washers. Durable replacement for worn or noisy transmissions. What it does

• Converts motor rotation into the geared motion needed for agitation and spin.
• Stops gear slippage and restores proper agitation when the original unit is worn.
• Can reduce grinding, clunking, or loss-of-drive symptoms related to a failed transmission.
• Supports normal wash and spin cycles when installed correctly.

• One gearcase (transmission) assembly.

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair.
• Requires basic hand tools and access to the washer cabinet; some models need the agitator, basket, and motor removed.
• Inspect associated seals, fasteners, and linkage for wear and replace as needed; use factory service instructions for torque and alignment.

This gearcase assembly transfers motor motion to the dishwasher's wash components so spray arms and wash mechanisms turn smoothly for consistent cleaning performance. Durable housing aligns gears and bearings for reliable operation. What it does:

• Transfers drive from the motor to the spray arms and wash assembly
• Houses gears and bearings that control rotation and torque
• Helps restore normal spray-arm rotation and wash action
• Commonly replaced when rotation is sluggish, noisy, or intermittent
• Can reduce grinding noises or irregular wash performance when faulty

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning repair
• Remove access panels and other components as shown in your service manual
• Inspect surrounding seals and fasteners; replace damaged parts as needed

This transmission assembly drives the agitation and spin cycles by transferring motor power to the tub. Replacing a worn transmission helps restore proper wash action and spin performance.

• Converts motor rotation into the geared motion needed for wash (agitate) and spin
• Shifts between agitation and spin modes during the cycle
• Common failure signs: no or weak agitation; no spin or slow spin
• Other symptoms include loud grinding/rumbling, oil leaking from the center area, or the motor running while the tub doesn't move

• Disconnect power and water; move the appliance to a stable work area and use proper lifting support
• Access the drive assembly from below; support the tub/frame to prevent tipping
• Mark component orientation, remove fasteners and drive components as needed, and transfer any reusable parts from the original unit
• Tighten mounting hardware evenly, then run a test cycle and check for leaks

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.
