Ksm150pssom Parts

This planetary gear assembly transfers motor torque through the transmission to drive the agitator/drum, restoring proper mechanical motion. Replaces a worn or damaged planetary to reduce grinding, slipping, or no-agitation symptoms and improve drivetrain reliability. What it does:

• Meshes with the transmission sun gear to convert motor rotation into the correct output for the agitator/drum
• Restores normal agitation/rotation when original gears are worn, broken, or skipping
• Helps eliminate grinding, clunking, or intermittent movement caused by damaged internal gears
• Works as a direct-fit replacement when the original planetary gear has failed

• Refer to the appliance's service manual or exploded parts diagram for correct disassembly and reassembly steps
• Disconnect power and water (if applicable) before beginning repairs to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding gears, bearings, and seals; replace any additional worn components to prevent premature failure
• Use appropriate tools and torque specs;

This planetary drive gear assembly transfers motor torque through the washer's gearcase to the agitator or drum, restoring normal agitation and spin. Replace a worn or damaged planetary to stop grinding, clunking, or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational power from the gearcase to the agitator/drum
• Replaces worn or broken gears that cause noisy operation or metal-on-metal grinding
• Stops intermittent or complete loss of agitation or spin caused by failed internal gears
• Helps restore smooth, consistent drum/agitator movement when gear teeth are intact

• Disconnect power and water before beginning any repair.
• Requires basic hand tools and access to the washer gearcase/agitator area.
• Inspect surrounding gearcase components, seals, and fasteners for wear while replacing the planetary.
