Description
This drive chain connects a washer's motor/transmission to the agitator or drum, transferring rotational motion so the wash basket spins and agitates properly. Replaces a worn or broken chain to restore normal drive function. What it does:
- Transfers motor torque to the transmission/agitator so the tub spins and agitates
- Commonly replaced when the washer won't agitate or spin despite motor running
- Replaces stretched, rusted, or broken chain that causes slipping or unusual noise
- Works as a direct mechanical link—no electrical components involved
What's included: One drive chain. Install notes:
- Install with the appliance unplugged and water supply turned off; follow OEM service manual for alignment and tension
- May require partial disassembly of cabinet, pulley, or transmission; have basic hand tools ready
- Inspect sprockets, tensioners, and related components and replace if excessively worn
