Description

This brake release cam works with the washer's brake assembly to disengage the brake during spin and re-engage it at stop. Replacing a worn cam restores smooth basket spin and reduces squeal or grinding at spin transitions.
  • Disengages the brake so the basket can spin; helps reapply the brake as the cycle ends
  • Supports smooth starts and stops of the spin cycle
  • Worn or damaged cams can cause no spin or intermittent spin
  • Common symptoms include loud squeal/grinding at start/stop or a burning odor near the brake area
What's included: 1 brake release cam Install notes:
  • Disconnect power (and water supply, if moving the washer) before service
  • Access the brake/basket drive area; the brake spring is under tension—use caution and eye protection
  • Note orientation of parts before removal; seat the new cam correctly
  • After reassembly, run an empty spin test to verify operation
