Description

This planetary assembly and shaft is the drive gear component that transfers motor torque through the transmission to the agitator/inner basket, restoring proper agitation and load movement in top-load washers. It replaces a worn or damaged planetary gear/shaft that can cause noisy operation or loss of agitation. What it does:

• Transfers rotational force from the transmission to the agitator/inner basket for normal wash action
• Replaces stripped or broken gears that cause slipping, grinding, or no agitation
• Restores stable, quieter operation when a worn shaft or gear teeth cause wobbling or vibration
• Helps recover correct mechanical engagement when the washer fails to move or tumble loads properly

What's included:

• One planetary assembly and shaft

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair
• High-level mechanical replacement: access to the transmission/agitator area is required and some disassembly may be necessary
• Inspect adjoining seals, bearings, and fasteners for wear; replace as needed
