Description
The Gearcase is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component, also known as the transmission, is responsible for converting the motor's power into the mechanical action needed to agitate and spin the washer drum. It plays a crucial role in the overall operation and efficiency of the washing machine.
Over time, the gearcase can become worn or damaged due to heavy loads, continuous use, or lack of maintenance. A faulty gearcase can severely impact the washer’s performance and may require replacement to restore proper functionality.
Symptoms of a bad gearcase include:
- The washer not agitating or spinning
- Loud noises or grinding sounds during operation
- The washer leaking oil
- The drum not turning smoothly or at all
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
