Description

This gearcase is the main transmission assembly that transfers motor torque to the washer's tub and agitator, restoring normal agitation and spin performance when the original gearcase fails. What it does

• Converts motor rotation into the gear reductions needed for agitation and spin cycles.
• Commonly replaced for symptoms like no agitation, slow or failed spin, grinding or clunking noises during cycles.
• Contains internal gears and bearings that can wear or break, causing irregular movement or loss of drive.
• Works with the washer's motor coupling and drive components to re-establish reliable drum motion.

What's included

• One gearcase (transmission) assembly.

Install notes

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair.
• Support the washer cabinet and tub when removing the old gearcase to avoid damage or injury.
• Gearcase assemblies are heavy and contain grease—expect some lubricant exposure; clean hands and work surfaces after installation.
• Use model-specific service manual or exploded parts diagram for proper alignment and reassembly; replacement may require transfer of seals or mounting hardware.
