Kp267ix Parts

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor motion to the washer's transmission so the tub or agitator moves correctly. Replacing a worn planetary restores proper agitation and helps stop grinding or intermittent motion. What it does

• Converts motor output into the rotational motion needed for the transmission or agitator.
• Restores smooth, reliable wash action when the original gears are worn or damaged.
• Commonly used when you hear grinding, clunking, or the washer fails to agitate or spin consistently.
• Works as an internal drive component that mates with the transmission and related drive parts.

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repairs.
• Accessing this part often requires removing the cabinet, drive components, or transmission housing.
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings, and fasteners; replace any damaged parts to prevent repeat failure.
• Test operation through a full cycle after installation to confirm correct function and no leaks.

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor torque through the gearcase to drive the appliance's rotating components, restoring proper drive function and reducing abnormal noises. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to match OEM form and fit. What it does

• Transfers motor rotation through the gear train to the driven components (basket/agitator/drum) so the appliance can spin or agitate as intended
• Replaces worn or damaged gears that can cause grinding, clunking, slipping, or loss of drive
• Restores proper gear mesh to reduce vibration and abnormal operating noise
• Helps eliminate intermittent or complete loss of rotational motion caused by stripped or broken gear teeth

• One planetary gear assembly as shown

• Disconnect power before beginning service to avoid electrical shock
• Installation requires basic hand tools and access to the gearbox/drive housing; follow the OEM service manual for disassembly/reassembly procedures
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings and fasteners for wear and replace as needed to prevent recurring damage
