This governor assembly is the mechanical control that stabilizes and regulates motion within the appliance's drive mechanism. Replacing a worn governor restores smooth, consistent operation and helps prevent erratic movement that can strain connected components. What it does:
- Regulates and limits the speed/rotation of the linked drive for stable, predictable movement
- Helps synchronize gears or shafts so the mechanism operates smoothly
- Common symptoms: intermittent or no movement, jerky/erratic motion, clicking or grinding noises
- Visible wear, cracks, or a loose/broken hub on the original governor
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; allow moving parts to come to a complete stop
- Note the original orientation; take photos to aid reassembly
- Transfer any reusable brackets, clips, or spacers from the original if required
- After installation, rotate the mechanism by hand to verify free movement before restoring power
