Description

This lower gearcase transfers motor power to the washer's transmission, driving the agitator and drum movement. Replacing a worn gearcase restores proper agitation and reduces grinding or slipping during cycles. What it does:

• Drives the agitator/drum by housing gears that transfer motor torque to the transmission
• Fixes symptoms like no agitation, weak agitation, loud grinding or gear-noise during spin/agitate
• Helps restore consistent wash action and proper load handling when gears are damaged or worn
• Works as the lower gearbox assembly in compatible top-load washers

What's included:

• One lower gearcase assembly (Imperial Black)

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting; drain washer tub to avoid spills
• Follow the washer's service manual for disassembly steps; removing the agitator and transmission access may be required
• Inspect surrounding seals, bearings and fasteners during replacement and replace if damaged
• Use proper tools and torque specifications
